-
Transform farming to retain more water in soils through cover crops, protection of grasslands and wetlands, hedges and limits on land sealing; restore sustainable livestock farming in cereal regions and support public breeding research for climate-adapted varieties.
French Communist Party statement (2026)
-
Provide coupled farm support and dedicated agri-environment-climate measures to improve soil water retention, including incorporation of cover crops and livestock manure.
French Communist Party statement (2026)
-
Increase CAP first-pillar support for permanent grasslands and wetlands; simplify and strengthen the hedgerow label and plant millions of linear metres of hedges, without a more precise total in this statement.
French Communist Party statement (2026)
-
Permit regulated small hillside reservoirs for livestock drinking water.
French Communist Party statement (2026)
-
Give particular priority to irrigation of locally consumed fruit and vegetables on farms creating employment and value added; involve authorities, farmers and all users in allocation.
French Communist Party statement (2026)
-
In agriculture, seek accessible healthy food, sovereignty, income/jobs, mixed crop-livestock farming to phase out mineral fertiliser and electrified tractors/equipment; elaborated in the following chapter.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Develop local food-oriented agriculture, less higher-quality meat and more fruit/vegetables, preserve incomes through value added per animal and create thousands of additional farm jobs/year beyond replacement; promote women’s access and mixed-gender occupations. Scenario emissions 76→39 MtCO2e by 2050, versus 38 Mt in the summary; discrepancy retained.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
End mineral fertiliser by 2050 through mixed crop-livestock farming, legumes and livestock return to cereal areas through mixed activities or grazing agreements; increase manure collection 46→90%, digest then use fertiliser digestate. The model attributes 13 MtCO2e savings to fertiliser, 4 Mt to livestock and 28 TWh biogas.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Create cereal-farm diversification plans: public-bank subsidised loans for livestock, possible public price supplements for grain/oil-protein crops on mixed farms and public-catering outlets; support varied rotations, green manure and soil conservation/regeneration.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Invite every farmer to plan a phased mineral-fertiliser exit with long-term support; create public risk insurance/management also financing climate adaptation.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Increase plant proteins and fruit/vegetables towards at least five portions/day; affordable quality local school/workplace catering with meat and plant alternatives; a€ 10 bnnational food fund for school catering, with no frequency specified here.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Build a livestock strategy with farmers, phase out animal-product imports by excluding agriculture from free-trade agreements; reduce pigs/poultry more than ruminants 26→24 million, expand sheep, limit farm herd sizes and improve welfare. For pigs: floor/target prices, on-farm feed and secured by-products.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Pay price supplements for free-range eggs to phase out permanent confinement, support farmer-grown feed and public insurance against animal-health crises.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Maintain cattle incomes despite smaller herds through value added, better-managed grazing, support for oil/protein feed crops and ending soy imports; possible substitution of suckler cows with ewes, using more labour and less capital to ease farm succession.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Support food purchasing power through wage increases, training/knowledge exchange and democratic needs planning with public offices by production sector, price intervention and public insurance.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Create a public industrial pole for electric tractors, subsidised loans/scrappage grants and public research given uncertain maturity; scenario fleet down 11% between 2022/2050, mass sales envisaged 2026, end combustion sales 2035 and electric fleet 2050. The 2026 launch is a 2023 projection, not a current verified event.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
Fund/monitor agroforestry for 2.4 million additional wooded hectares, millions of kilometres of hedges including fruit species, shade trees/groves, protection of existing woods and silvopasture; residues/leaves provide organic matter and an estimated 23 TWh biomass for synthetic fuels.
PCF consultation document of November 2023, not a 2027 programme
-
End first-generation energy crops; expand intermediate crops requiring no dedicated land and systematically collect livestock effluent.
Summary of the PCF's Empreinte 2050 plan, an earlier document
-
Reduce agricultural emissions while improving food quality and securing decent incomes and professional support for farmers.
Summary of the PCF's Empreinte 2050 plan, an earlier document
-
Aim for farming without nitrogen fertiliser through animal manure, crop rotation and mixed crop-livestock systems; adapt livestock feed to reduce methane.
Note: The summary drops the long plan's « mineral or synthetic » qualifier; it also recommends manure.
Summary of the PCF's Empreinte 2050 plan, an earlier document
-
Develop with the sector a managed herd reduction affecting pigs and poultry more than ruminants, while raising value added per animal.
Summary of the PCF's Empreinte 2050 plan, an earlier document
-
Expand protein-rich plant crops to support a balanced diet.
Note: Broad wording: no area, tonnage or target crop.
