Farmers from across Occitanie converged on Toulouse in a mobilization that widened into blockades and actions elsewhere. Participants cited low incomes, rising costs, administrative burdens, trade competition and conflicts over environmental rules and water. The movement began from local networks and included different farming interests; it should not be treated as a single voice for all rural people or as opposition to environmental protection in general. Its claims exposed the pressures of agricultural markets and the unequal bargaining power of producers.
