In a bold demonstration of activism, two impassioned citizens associated with the Food Response campaign made their voices heard at the Agriculture Show in Paris today. Wearing "Food Response" t-shirts, they triggered multiple portable alarms in view of cameras capturing Prime Minister Gabriel Attal's presence at the event.

These activists view the alarms as a heartfelt call to action, citing concerns over the government's perceived bias towards the dominant agricultural union FNSEA amidst an ongoing agricultural crisis. They criticize the government for allegedly prioritizing the interests of agribusiness and major retailers over environmental standards and the welfare of farmers.

Amidst a backdrop of increasing neoliberal policies impacting various sectors, including agriculture, the activists point to recent legislative decisions such as the new Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) as favoring industrialized agriculture and neglecting the needs of small-scale farmers.
