Brittany, land of farming

A strategic position in the heart of a large livestock farming region
Brittany is an ultimate farming land.

It is one of the leading agricultural regions in France and the leading agri-food regions in Europe.
Breton farmers feed the equivalent of one in three French people. More than 60 % of the regional territory is devoted to agriculture.
