Infra-communal disadvantaged agricultural area in the Sarthe department (Millesime 2019)

Description

Municipalities located in disadvantaged agricultural areas as defined by Order of the Ministry of Agriculture and Food of 27 March 2019. 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. Some of the national less-favoured areas described in layer 0000129 are subdivided into sub-departmental or sub-communal less-favoured areas, by prefectural decree classifying them as less-favoured areas. There are two types of SDS: “areas subject to significant natural constraints” (SCNs) and “specific stress zones” (SSAs).
