What is behind chocolate tasting?
Chocolate is a beloved treat in France, enjoyed by 97.8% of the population, with an average consumption of 8.8 kg per person in 2022. Its appeal spans various dimensions, including health benefits and strong associations with childhood. Historically, chocolate was sold by apothecaries for its energizing and aphrodisiac properties. Sociologist Serge Guérin highlights its multifaceted nature in his works.
Towards a Ban on Gender Transition for Minors?
The French Senate, led by a group of Les Républicains senators, has released a report on the issue of transgender minors, recommending a ban on medical and surgical interventions for transgender children until they turn 18. The report, which involved consultations with various stakeholders including medical professionals and researchers, highlights concerns about the safety and appropriateness of such treatments for minors. Currently, in France, minors can receive puberty blockers and hormone treatments with parental consent, but reassignment surgeries are only available from the age of 18.
Why is recycling still lagging behind in France?
France's new legislation mandates that from January 2024, food waste must be separated from household waste, but many municipalities are unprepared. The Agence de la transition écologique reports that only one in three French citizens has access to food waste sorting solutions. Despite increased efforts, recycling in France remains insufficient, with significant amounts of household packaging waste still being generated. The article highlights the historical context and current challenges in waste management, emphasizing the need for improved recycling infrastructure.
20% of farmers can't make ends meet: what are the roots of the anger?
Since January 18, 2024, the agricultural sector in France has erupted in protest, highlighted by a blockade on the A64 highway in Carbonne, near Toulouse. The discontent, simmering for months, stems from increasing regulations and restrictions that farmers argue are detrimental to their livelihood. On January 29, 10,000 farmers, with 5,000 agricultural machines, mobilized across France. In response, Prime Minister Gabriel Attal engaged with the protesters and announced measures including the retention of a tax advantage on non-road diesel and various regulatory simplifications to address the farmers' concerns.
A nursery in a nursing home!
In Vourles, at the La Grande Charrière residence, elderly residents interact with children from a nursery located within the facility. This nursery, part of the Tom & Josette group founded by HEC students Pauline Faivre and Astrid Parmentier, aims to change the lives of both children and elderly residents through intergenerational interaction. The concept has been well-received, with plans to double the number of nurseries next year. Despite a significant revenue of 3 million euros in 2023, the company aims for long-term viability.
Laurent Toulemon: 'The current level of birth rate is not worrying'
In 2023, France experienced a significant drop in birth rates, with a 6.6% decrease compared to 2022, amounting to 48,000 fewer births. President Emmanuel Macron has called for a 'demographic rearmament' to address this issue, proposing measures such as the creation of a birth leave and a major plan against infertility. However, Laurent Toulemon, a research director at the Institut national d’études démographiques, argues that the current birth rate is not necessarily alarming and expresses skepticism about the effectiveness of the president's proposed measures.
What Agriculture for Tomorrow?
In the small village of Athis, Pierre-Édouard Schadeck, along with his wife Alexia, is transforming his inherited farm into a sustainable, organic operation. The couple is constructing a large wooden storage building equipped with a solar dryer, a stone mill, and a retail space to sell their produce. This initiative reflects their commitment to biodiversity and sustainable agriculture, aiming to be operational by May.
Why are foreign imams banned in France?
France has banned the entry of new 'detached imams' from countries like Turkey and Algeria as of January 1, 2024, fulfilling a promise made by President Emmanuel Macron to reduce foreign influence on Islam in France. Previously, these imams were allowed under bilateral agreements and were instrumental in providing religious guidance to Muslim communities in France. The policy aims to promote a more independent practice of Islam within the country, aligning with Macron's broader plan against separatism.
EHPAD: 'When relationships fade behind regulation, we end up forgetting the essence of what makes us human'
Nearly four years after the COVID-19 crisis, the trauma of not being able to say goodbye to loved ones confined in hospitals or EHPADs lingers, with some dying in complete solitude. A report drawing lessons from these events was submitted to the Minister of Solidarity and Families, Aurore Bergé. The report includes harsh testimonies of anger, resentment, and unresolved grief. Despite recent warnings, some EHPADs continue to periodically restrict visitation rights. The report is credited to Laurent Frémont, a constitutional law teacher at Sciences Po, who co-founded the 'Tenir ta main' collective advocating for patient visitation rights after his father's death in November 2020.
Respite stays for farmers experiencing burnout
Hermine Rosset, a farmer experiencing burnout, sought help through 'Agri'écoute', a distress hotline, to cope with her overwhelming situation. She and her partner, Adrien Kempf, later benefited from a 'respite stay' program on the island of Noirmoutier, far from their challenging life in Saint-Hilaire-d'Estissac, Dordogne. The program, established by the Mutualité sociale agricole (MSA) since 2017, aims to provide relief to distressed farmers by temporarily removing them from their farming environment.
