It is a little-known story that has shattered lives in the countryside. Land consolidation, starting in the 1940s, led to a vast expansion of agricultural plots, the felling of countless hedges, and a mass exodus of farmers. This policy, carried out in an authoritarian manner by state services, was fundamental in the industrialization of agriculture. This is the subject of the new graphic story by Inès Léraud and Pierre Van Hove, Champs de bataille. L'histoire enbouie du remembrement. The expansion of plots has continued to this day. However, it is possible to stop this harmful headlong rush. To replant hedges, to rebuild ecosystems that are resilient in the face of ecological disasters. This is what Inès Léraud tells us, while the agricultural anger movement has resumed for a few days, and some unions are advocating the lowest environmental bidder. A program prepared and presented by Amélie Poinssot. With: Inès Léraud, investigative journalist and author of Champs de bataille.
