The old walled city of Saint-Malo, Brittany région, France.
In Brittany, cereal and forage crops are essential to the region's agricultural sector because they are grown primarily to meet the needs of local livestock farmers.1
Brittany is a highly productive agricultural region dominated by the intensive raising of pigs, poultry, and calves. The cultivation of these crops supports this livestock-focused economy, ensuring that farmers have the necessary feed resources to sustain their operations.
