But to solve the question of the storage of carbon, it’s necessary that we have accompanying public policies. And we cannot succeed without farmers. Our farmers started this a long time ago. It was our Brittany grandfathers who said, “There are three elements to agriculture: manure, manure, and manure.” So this idea of working with nature existed since the beginning of agriculture here. We are going to better utilize natural mechanisms before going against them in the development of our agricultural production. In France we call that agroecology, and it’s going to utilize a lot more of what nature is able to offer us so that we may produce more, and produce it better.
This is not only about self-preservation.
