DRAAF Nouvelle-Aquitaine

What DRAAF Nouvelle-Aquitaine does

DRAAF Nouvelle-Aquitaine (Direction régionale de l'alimentation, de l'agriculture et de la forêt de Nouvelle-Aquitaine) is a decentralized regional directorate of the French Ministry of Agriculture (Ministère de l'Agriculture, de l'Agro-alimentaire et de la Souveraineté alimentaire). It operates as a service déconcentré de l'État under the authority of the Préfète de la région Nouvelle-Aquitaine, with exclusive statutory authority to implement national agricultural, food safety, and forestry policy across the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region. The directorate's mandate spans agricultural production regulation, sanitary and phytosanitary governance, forestry management including the Département de la Santé des Forêts (DSF), agricultural education and certification oversight, and publication of official agricultural statistics under the Agreste brand.

The technical foundation comprises a public information portal built on Agrispip, a CMS variant of the open-source SPIP publishing platform commonly deployed across French Ministry of Agriculture regional directorates. The service portfolio spans eight primary lines: monthly statistical reports (Conjoncture mensuelle, e.g., Issue No. 74 dated July 1, 2026), forest health monitoring including the active pine nematode (Bursaphelenchus xylophilus) quarantine management program following the first detected outbreak in France at Seignosse (Landes), sanitary and phytosanitary governance, agricultural statistical publications (Agreste), forest-wood sector publications, project calls and funding programs (Appels à projets), and food safety information services. Proprietary domain capabilities include a pine nematode surveillance and designated-enterprise certification system and a DSF observer-correspondent network monitoring forest pests such as pine processionary caterpillar, bark beetles, rust diseases, and heat damage.

As a state administrative entity, the directorate does not operate a commercial revenue model; it is funded directly through the French government budget and derives no revenue from its services. Distribution occurs through direct regional government service delivery, official publications, RSS feeds and email alerts, and social media sharing (Facebook, X/Twitter, LinkedIn). Customer-facing segments include the broader agricultural sector (farmers, foresters, agro-food industries, agricultural education institutions), regional public administration (prefectural and inter-prefectural services requiring agricultural policy coordination), and Chambres d'Agriculture coordinating farmer registration, project calls, and crisis response.
