The Grand Est region is a true heavyweight of the French rural economy. Stretching from the plains of Champagne to the Vosges mountains, it offers a variety of landscapes and terroirs conducive to a wide range of agricultural production. Geographically, the region comprises ten departments, each with its own distinct identity: Ardennes , Aube , Marne , Haute-Marne , Meurthe-et-Moselle , Meuse , Moselle , Bas-Rhin , Haut-Rhin , and Vosges .
This vast geographical area, punctuated by major cities such as Strasbourg, Reims, Metz, Nancy, and Troyes, is distinguished by its abundant agricultural land . The Grand Est region is particularly renowned for its large-scale farming . The vast plains of the Marne and Aube rivers are the region's breadbasket, excelling in the production of cereals (wheat, barley, corn) and industrial crops such as sugar beets and rapeseed. These high-quality arable lands are highly valued for their yields.
However, the Grand Est region is not just about cereal farming. It is also a renowned livestock farming area. The mountain and foothill areas, particularly in the Vosges and Haute-Marne departments, are well-suited to mixed crop and livestock farming . There is a high density of cattle farms , geared towards both meat and dairy production. These farms often have extensive pastureland, essential for self-sufficiency in forage.
The region also boasts dynamic specialized sectors. Sheep farming is present, particularly for the maintenance of natural areas and the production of high-quality meat. In some areas, pig farming and poultry farming constitute either diversification activities or successful primary operations. Furthermore, the region has successfully embraced the energy transition, with significant development of agricultural methanization , enabling farms to utilize their effluents and generate supplementary income.
Finally, Alsace (Bas-Rhin and Haut-Rhin) brings a specific touch with intensive agriculture on small areas, including market gardening , hops and of course viticulture, although our category here focuses mainly on traditional farm activities.
