Question 8250 — natural disasters

Summary

Ms. Mathilde Feld draws the attention of the Minister of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty to the situation of abandonment in which many wine growers and farmers in Gironde find themselves, hit hard by the violent storms of May and June 2025. Hail, wind, mini-tornadoes and torrential rains have ravaged hundreds of hectares, sometimes causing future harvest losses. total. However, the majority of affected operators will not have access to compensation commensurate with the damage, due to a lack of insurance coverage or suitable public systems. The observation is implacable: the current system no longer protects those who produce, feed and maintain the territories. For the uninsured in the wine sector, compensation only applies beyond 50% of losses, up to 20 to 35%. only and within deadlines totally incompatible with field emergencies (at N+1). The cost of private insurance, the unattainable thresholds and the absurd “Olympic averages” make the current system a machine for exclusion. This situation has been known, documented and denounced for years, with no structural response. This impasse reveals a double deficiency on the part of the State: that of not acting seriously against the causes of climate change and that of not taking responsibility for the concrete consequences for farmers. The emergency now requires an appropriate political response. The MP asks the Minister to come to the aid of affected farmers by immediately recognizing the situation as an exceptional climatic event, giving entitlement to exceptional public compensation for farmers. affected, outside of current insurance conditions. She also asks him to use the wine emergency fund of 20 million euros promised in 2024, but never used, and to launch a new climate risk management system, based on real public solidarity, accessible to all farms and not solely on private insurance logic. It is urgent to put in place a policy coherent climate change to prevent disasters from multiplying, as well as compensation measures for those who suffer their effects. It is the responsibility of the State to guarantee its farmers a fundamental right: that of being protected in the face of the unpredictable in order to be able to continue to exist. Consequently, she finally asks him what measures she will put in place to ensure compensation for the winegrowers and farmers hit hard by climatic hazards, on the one hand, and to initiate reform of the insurance system, on the other hand.
