The French Minister for Agriculture’s call for people on forced leave due to the coronavirus epidemic to “go out to work on land” to help agriculture left without seasonal workers has proved successful. Thanks to the campaign, 207,000 volunteers signed up in just a few days, according to Le Journal du Dimanche (JDD).

On March 24, Agriculture Minister Didier Guillaume asked people forced into inaction to “join the large army of French agriculture,” which is suffering from labor shortages. (Katalin Venczel, MTI)
