Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Less-favoured agricultural areas on the Cher department

Less-favoured agricultural areas are territories with specific (economic, agricultural, physical and demographic), natural and permanent handicaps linked to terrain, altitude, slope and soil, in which the maintenance of agricultural activity is necessary for the maintenance of the natural area (see Directive 75/268/EEC). They carry the public policy of support for agriculture (ICHN aid) in its environmental and social functions which make it an important contributor to the sustainable development of the economy.The compensatory allowances for natural handicaps (ICHN) contribute to the maintenance of a viable rural community in less-favoured areas and thus help to balance the occupation of the territory by economic and human activities.The total or partial classification of municipalities in less-favoured areas is determined by decrees of the Ministry of Agriculture, it is broken down into 5 types of less-favoured areas: high mountain, mountain, dry mountain, foothill and simple less-favoured areas.农业弱势地区（Less-favoured Agricultural Areas）是指因地形、海拔、坡度与土壤条件而存在天然且长期发展制约的区域，其特征涵盖经济、农业、自然地理与人口多个维度；维持农业活动是保护该区域自然生态的必要前提（参见欧盟指令75/268/EEC）。此类地区推行旨在保障农业环境与社会功能的农业支持公共政策（ICHN补助），该政策的环境与社会功能使其成为经济可持续发展的重要贡献源。自然制约补偿补助（ICHN）有助于维持农业弱势地区的活力乡村社区，进而助力平衡区域内经济活动与人类活动的空间分布。农业弱势地区的乡镇全域或部分划入认定，由农业主管部门法令确定；该类地区共分为五大类型：高山区、山区、干旱山区、丘陵山麓区与普通农业弱势地区。
