Farming has shaped the landscape of France for generations and now the landscape is changing. Giant farms have been created from smaller ones. In remoter, less fertile areas, farmers have abandoned the land altogether. Towns and cities are growing with suburbs sprawling out into the countryside.
In the past, France was famous for its food; in future, it may be more famous for its engineering and its high-tech industries. Meet the people of France and discover the diversity of their lives, from the organic-wine producer to the engineering student who dreams of designing a space station on Mars.
'The Changing Face Of' series offers first-hand insight into how countries are changing to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Each title is filled with information and statistics about key geographical themes. Specially commissioned interviews give you a real sense of how people view the past, present and future of their home country.
