What does it contain?
The Land Parcel Identification System (MePAR) is a nationwide GIS system serving as the basis for area-based agricultural subsidies. It provides a standardized framework for the identification, delineation and attribute data of agricultural land parcels (MePAR blocks). The drought-risk layer identifies agricultural areas most exposed to drought within the thematic water protection requirements of the zonally delineated AKG areas. The layer supports the assessment of AKG and other Rural Development Programme (VP) subsidies, including irrigation development investments and drought damage claims.
