The first payments under France’s new Canicule, drought, fires (Casi) plan are expected to arrive with the coming days, offering financial relief to farmers struggling with extreme weather conditions. The plan, announced with a budget of over one billion euros, aims to support agricultural communities affected by heatwaves, droughts, and wildfires. However, some critics argue that the funding does not fully align with the immediate needs of farmers, who are facing both environmental and economic challenges. Farmers have expressed concerns that the adaptation of their operations to climate change is progressing too slowly. Many are calling for more immediate and flexible support that addresses the specific conditions they are encountering, such as water shortages and crop losses. These concerns come as the sector prepares to negotiate the next iteration of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), which will govern EU farming support from 2023 to 2027. The CAP negotiations in Brussels are a crucial moment for shaping future agricultural policies across Europe. Sector representatives are using this opportunity to present their proposals, emphasizing the need for policies that are both resilient to climate change and responsive to the evolving needs of farmers. The outcome of these discussions could influence how future financial support is structured and distributed. As the Casi plan begins to take effect, farmers are hopeful that the initial payments will provide some immediate relief. However, the long-term success of the plan and the new CAP will depend on how well they address the complex and changing challenges faced by the agricultural sector.
