I've been hearing about some good things happening in France too (and many further afield).
Bec Hellouin is a productive, healthy farm in Bretagne which follows permaculture principles. They've been taking part in studies to see how viable organic market gardening can be. Asking if 1/4 acre is enough to provide a job for 1 person (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8alcGWNyX8&t=7m35s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z8alcGWNyX8&t=7m35s).
Read more about them here https://www.fermedubec.com/english/ https://www.fermedubec.com/english/ and the studies are linked to from this page https://www.fermedubec.com/la-recherche/les-rapports-scientifiques/ https://www.fermedubec.com/la-recherche/les-rapports-scienti... (in english down the bottom).
There are also some good farms practicing agroforestry, an example later in the video linked to above.
The examples are such a small drop in the ocean, but from Sepp Holzer in Austria to Ridgedale in Sweden, momentum for restorative agriculture will grow. Hopefully swiftly, but that's also dependant on government policy.
