II- explanatory factors for the strength of Agriculture and French industry

1. The importance of the natural environment in the French interpretation of the status of agriculture, industry and the French European Union

• elements of the natural environment:

- Terrain: Francaaly flat terrain stretching a plains (plain of Alsace and the north and the plains of Allancdok and Aquemear and Rhone ....) and sedimentary basins settings like Paris and Alokibab added Alormorikah bloc in the West and Central bloc along Albireny Mountains in the south and the mountains Alps in the south-east.

And produces about the importance of rainfall and the existence of significant Rograveh Head network (Seine, Loire, Rhone)

-> Resulted from favorable natural conditions improved yield of agricultural, industrial and occupation orders of the task within the European Union.

• France is available on the wealth and energy Metallic very limited - energy sources: The production of France from fossil sources a little bit and including: coal (0.2 m tonnes) in the Lorraine region and is poor quality and difficult to exploitation, and production of weak oil

 (1.3 m tonnes) and natural gas (13:00 cubic m) Basin Paris, and France imports most of its needs of these energies, while interested in the production of electrical power in the north and hydropower along the rivers, and nuclear power stations in several parts of the country.

- Metals: Most of its needs are imported from abroad.

  III. The problems and challenges faced by agriculture, industry Frenchwomen:

1: French agriculture is facing many problems and challenges:
