In Occitania, the grape harvesting campaign is in full swing: If you look at the landscape, it's scary

In Occitanie, vineyard removal campaigns are intensifying, with over 28,000 hectares of vines being uprooted in France this year as part of a policy offering compensation to winemakers. This measure is reshaping landscapes and agricultural practices in regions such as the Aude and Pyrénées-Orientales. The initiative aims to address environmental concerns and reduce wine production in response to market saturation and climate challenges. Local farmers are adapting to these changes, which involve significant economic and cultural shifts within the region’s viticulture industry.
