Question 12892 — hunting and fishing

Summary

Mr. Nicolas Dragon questions the Minister of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Food Sovereignty on the obstacles to the development of the French venison industry. In fact, each year, between 750,000 and 900,000 wild boars are harvested in France throughout the country. At the same time, the country continues to import thousands of tonnes of wild boar from New Zealand. From an environmental point of view, the situation is indefensible. It is obvious that transporting game meat from New Zealand to France involves heavy, energy-intensive and carbon-intensive logistics. French game is, however, a local and sustainable meat requiring neither intensive breeding nor agricultural inputs. This logic collapses as soon as wild boar becomes a globalized product, subject to the same commercial flows as any other industrial meat. Importing wild boar when the national territory is overflowing with it is total ecological nonsense. French wild game represents local meat, with a low carbon footprint, offering excellent nutritional qualities. It also contributes to France's food autonomy while preserving consumers' purchasing power. To encourage the creation of a real wild game industry French, it is essential to put in place a national strategy aimed at simplifying regulations and supporting the creation of a short circuit collection network, as well as game processing establishments. The integration of the “Gibier de France” brand into public school catering markets is also crucial. He wants to know his position on this subject.
