Question from someone who knows nothing about this and is trying to understand: how much of agriculture in France is dominated by big agriculture? Is it possible that small farmers are having a hard time while economics of scale and subsidies work well for big ag?
- hrktb 9y agoNot knowing that much either, but I was more under the inpression that farmers working small had a better chance to live decently than the ones working on big contracts. My perspective is how supermaket chains establish almost direct relations with producers and waive their weigh around to get better and better deals as time goes. Basically a variant of cuting the middle layers to eliminate bargaining power.
- ealhad 9y agoYup. And that is how farmers find themselves with huge debts, because they are strongly advised by companies to buy big machines.
