In response to the exceptional weather conditions and fires that affected the Var region in summer 2026, aid schemes are being launched to support agricultural operations.

Following the extreme weather events and fires that impacted the Sud-Provence-Alpes-Côte d’Azur region this summer, an agricultural recovery fund of €10,126,332 has been released. This initiative aims to support the cash flow of struggling agricultural holdings, particularly for financing essential inputs such as animal feed, fodder, seeds, and plants.
In the Var department, two specific plans are now open: the 'Fire' plan and the 'Heatwave / Drought' plan. Farmers have until October 9, 2026, to submit their applications.
The application process is entirely online via the dedicated digital platform. For any inquiries or assistance, please contact Justine CHAUVIN by phone at 06 14 52 08 21 or by email at justine.chauvin@var.chambagri.fr.
