France is located in the western part of the European continent, facing the Atlantic Ocean in the west, facing the Tribute country across the sea, and leaning on the Mediterranean Sea in the south. It is at the "crossroads" of Europe.


It has a typical Mediterranean climate, with cold winters and cool and humid summers, with an annual rainfall of about 1,000 mm. France has a high level of urbanization, rural land is intensively managed by farmers on a family basis, and the planting structure is controlled by the state.


France is the largest producer of agricultural products among the 15 EU countries. French agriculture has transformed from traditional planting agriculture to modern animal husbandry, and the output value of animal husbandry accounts for more than 70% of the total agricultural output value.


The agricultural and agri-food industry accounts for about 6% of the GDP, of which more than 50% is the output value of the livestock and livestock product processing industry. The annual per capita GDP of farmers is about 13,000 US dollars. More than 50% of the land is used for planting grass and raising cattle, and 2-3 cattle are raised per hectare of pasture.


In people's food composition, animal foods such as meat, milk, and eggs account for more than 50%. Some of the milk is fresh, and the rest is processed into various meat and dairy products. In addition to raising cattle, the animal husbandry industry is also quite developed. Large-scale animal husbandry production makes French agriculture play a pivotal role in the European Union.


Normandy is a piece of fertile land bordering the English Channel in northwest France. It consists of two regions, Upper Normandy and Lower Normandy, and a total of 5 provinces, with an area of about 30,000 square kilometres. It is the largest and most natural pasture in France, and it can also be referred to as the "golden milk source".


The verdant pastures, horses, cattle, and sheep on the grass are people's first impressions of Normandy. As an important farming and animal husbandry base in France, the rich land and warm climate make it an important production area for cheese and green apple brandy. Of course, because it is a seaside city, it is also an important production area for French oysters.
