Contains areas recorded in the MePAR with slopes exceeding 12%.
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). Areas with slopes exceeding 12% that are at risk of water erosion are agricultural areas where stricter soil protection and farming requirements may apply, such as contour farming, restrictions on certain crops, or mandatory soil cover.
