> For my perspective in France, here the farming lobby is inexistant/inefficient

Tell that to the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. The kickbacks France gets compared to other countries is insane. Your lobbyists have been most effective!

According to the FAO, France agriculture is one of the world's most diverse, productive and qualitative.

To rephrase it: France exports A LOT of goods, produced at intensive yields and high costs, with a high dependency on subsidies and technology/pesticides.

Quality is great but, to say the least, far from sustainable.
