The deputy state secretary first discussed the role of the insurance sector in France and the reform of the system, which has become necessary due to growing climate risks, with Institutional Relations Director Pascal Viné and International Director Olivier Pequeux at Groupama, the leading insurer of French agriculture, which looks back on more than a hundred years of agricultural risk community history. Afterwards, experiences were shared in the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Sovereignty with Mylène Testut-Neves, the Deputy Director of Competitiveness of the Ministry’s Directorate-General for Agriculture, as well as senior colleagues responsible for risk management, including the structure of the system, its legal background, and the Hungarian-French about cooperation opportunities, for example in the area of agricultural monitoring activities to be carried out with the involvement of the European Space Agency.
