The Ministère de l'Agriculture et de la Souveraineté alimentaire ('ministry of agriculture and food sovereignty') is the French ministry of agriculture, the governmental body charged with regulation and policy for agriculture, food and forestry. The headquarters are in the Hôtel de Villeroy, at 78 Rue de Varenne in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, adjacent to Hotel Matignon. Until 21 June 2012 the remit of the ministry was somewhat different; its full title was French: Ministère de l'Agriculture, de l'Alimentation, de la Pêche, de la Ruralité et de l'Aménagement du territoire ('ministry of agriculture, food, fisheries, rural affairs and spatial planning'). The regional directorates for food, agriculture and forests (DRAAFs) oversee the implementation of policies for agriculture, food (particularly health safety), aquaculture and forests.
