On October 7, 2026, the findings of the Research Agriculture Food Environment Consultation (CoRAE) were officially released. This collaborative effort brought together professionals, unions, and researchers to address the growing challenges facing agriculture in the Occitanie region of southern France. The region has been experiencing record temperatures, recurring droughts, and other historically unusual weather patterns, prompting the need for a comprehensive review of agricultural practices and future strategies. Agriculture in Occitanie is already diverse, with significant contributions from livestock farming, viticulture (wine production), and cereal farming. However, water scarcity has emerged as the most pressing issue. Occitanie is the leading agricultural region in France in terms of employment, yet farmers there earn incomes that are about half the national average. These findings come from a study that collected 4,300 opinions, highlighting the need for transformative strategies to adapt to the new climate conditions. The coordination teams identified five Research Priorities with Impact (PRI) aimed at addressing the most urgent needs and preparing for the profound changes brought by the new climate regime. The first priority focuses on water management, emphasizing the need for tools that ensure the economical, equitable, effective, and sustainable use of this vital resource. With increasing tensions over water availability, this challenge is both critical and complex. Looking ahead to 2050, the study questions what agricultural practices, species, and varieties will be suitable for the Occitan territories. It also calls for sustainable livestock systems that can withstand the new climate conditions and the interconnected health, economic, and demographic crises affecting the region. Additionally, the research emphasizes the need for resilient territories capable of anticipating and managing the growing complexity of climate, health, and economic challenges. Another priority is the reduction of pesticide use, with efforts focused on developing technical alternatives, understanding health effects, and creating practical conditions for their widespread adoption. These priorities aim to guide agricultural policies and practices toward sustainability, ensuring that Occitanie can continue to support its agricultural sector while adapting to the realities of a changing climate.
