Sylvie Colas, 54, organic poultry farmer, married with three children, poses with her voting card on February 20, 2017 in her farm in Lectoure, southwest France. What should be the priorities of the next French president? "He ought to restore real farmers to their rightful place in society. In 15 years, we went from being 200 to 100 in Lectoure. We have rural areas without farmers. People cram into cities even when rural areas have the potential to welcome them. The model of subsidies has to change to respond to farmers' needs instead of using it to produce more, as it is the case today. The next president must stop listening to the food industry and prick up his ears to producers and consumers. He needs to ask himself what's healthy -- the diet of tomorrow must be organic and create jobs. A farmer can create work for four or five people." / AFP PHOTO / PASCAL PAVANI / RESTRICTED TO EDITORIAL USE - RESTRICTED TO FRENCH ELECTIONS ILLUSTRATION PURPOSE
