Dataset Direct Download Service (WFS): Less-favoured agricultural areas in Vienna

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 supporting agriculture (ICHN aid) in its environmental and social functions, which make it an important contributor to the sustainable development of the economy. Compensation for natural handicaps (ICHN) contributes to the maintenance of a viable rural community in less-favoured areas and thus helps to balance the occupation of the territory by economic and human activities. The classification, in whole or in part, of municipalities in less-favoured areas is determined by decrees of the Ministry of Agriculture. It is broken down into five types of less-favoured areas: high mountain, mountain, dry mountain, foothill and simple less-favoured areas.

农业弱势区域（Less-favoured agricultural areas）是指具备特定经济、农业、自然与人口属性，且受地形、海拔、坡度与土壤等因素带来天然且持续性制约的区域；在此类区域中，维系农业生产活动对保护自然生态环境至关重要（参见欧盟指令75/268/EEC）。此类区域实施支持农业发展的公共政策——农业弱势区域补贴（ICHN aid），该政策兼具环境与社会职能，是推动经济可持续发展的重要贡献者。天然限制补偿（ICHN）有助于维持农业弱势区域内具备活力的乡村社区，进而平衡区域内经济活动与人类活动的空间布局。农业弱势区域内市镇的全部或部分区域的分类划定，由农业部颁布的法令确定。该类区域共划分为五类：高山区、山区、干旱山区、丘陵区以及普通农业弱势区域。
