The main responses provided over the past two years can be summarised as follows: remove production constraints to produce more of everything (both animal and plant products),\u00a0to recover\u00a0market shares\u00a0in France\u00a0and abroad.\u00a0Seeking\u00a0to produce more of everything without considering adaptation or transition is a form of denial, at a time when climate change is hitting farmers hard and regularly, and when our dependence on imported fertilisers and oilseed meals undermines our sovereignty. The conferences must take these considerations into account \u2014 otherwise, they will serve only to perpetuate the notion of an illusory sovereignty.\u00a0","og_url":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/","og_site_name":"I4CE","article_published_time":"2026-02-19T16:00:54+00:00","article_modified_time":"2026-02-20T10:56:15+00:00","og_image":[{"width":1600,"height":900,"url":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lucile_la-une-2.png","type":"image\/png"}],"author":"Sacha Poree","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_creator":"@I4CE_","twitter_site":"@I4CE_","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"Sacha Poree","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/"},"author":{"name":"Sacha Poree","@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/#\/schema\/person\/019647dfff6cbbde1a8f49ae7edf6346"},"headline":"Food sovereignty relies on ecological planning","datePublished":"2026-02-19T16:00:54+00:00","dateModified":"2026-02-20T10:56:15+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/"},"wordCount":710,"publisher":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/#organization"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/01\/Lucile_la-une-2.png","articleSection":["Blog post"],"inLanguage":"en-US"},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/","url":"https:\/\/www.i4ce.org\/en\/food-sovereignty-relies-ecological-planning-climate\/","name":"Food sovereignty relies on ecological planning -
