The number of persons employed in crop and animal production, hunting, and related service activities in France is forecasted to decline steadily from 2024 to 2028. Starting at 675,000 in 2024, employment is projected to decrease to 654,000 by 2028, indicating a gradual yearly reduction. The year-on-year decline is consistent, reflecting challenges such as mechanization, technological advancements, and potentially younger generations opting for different career paths. Additionally, external factors like climate change and policy shifts may exacerbate the downward trend.

Future trends to watch for include:

Technological innovations and their potential impact on labor requirements.
Policy changes related to agricultural subsidies or environmental regulations.
Shifts in domestic and global demand for French agricultural products.
Climate change impacts on crop yield and animal production.
Adaptation of sustainable and organic farming practices affecting employment patterns.
