Farmers' protests ended?

Following a meeting with the minister for agriculture on Wednesday, farmers' unions believe an acceptable formula has been reached to re-design the map of areas designated as unfavourable for farming. There were 472 communes included in the plans to withdraw the status, therefore the subsidy, but this has been reduced to 182 in Occitanie.
Agriculteurs are asked to dismantle the barriers and cease their actions. The unions believe they could not have achieved this without their action and apologise for the inconvenience caused, but think that local residents will understand that good food is worth fighting for.
