The “Salon de l’Agriculture” showcase is a major annual event in France, attracting around 600,000 visitors over nine days. For the first time in more than 60 years, the fair will welcome a foreign country as the guest of honor: Morocco. Agriculture is a significant part of the French economy, and for years, farmers have complained about bureaucratic hurdles and cheaper international competition, which doesn’t have to meet the same environmental and health standards. Liza Kaminov spoke with some farmers at the fair.
