Criticism of the use of farmland to build data centers for American digital groups

François Ruffin, September 9, 2026 · translation by the observatory

Original quote (French)

Alors que le pays débat de souveraineté alimentaire depuis des années, il n’en est soudain plus question lorsqu’il s’agit de sacrifier des terres agricoles pour construire les datacenters des géants américains du numérique.
