Agricultural areas encompass productive surfaces relating to crop growing, livestock and fruit cultivation. Likewise included in this designation are greenhouses, but not agricultural buildings such as farmhouses, stables or sheds. With a total surface area of 14,817 km2, agricultural zones represent the largest of the four major land use categories (35.9%).
Meadows and farm pastures as well as Alpine agricultural areas each account for no less than one-third of agricultural areas. The proportion of arable land corresponds to 27.5%. Orchard, vineyard and horticulture areas take up only 3.4% of the total agricultural space (Graph 12).
The proportion of agricultural areas in the Central Plain region (49.5%) and the Jura (43.4%) is well above the national average (Map 7). By contrast, a relatively small proportion of land is used for farming in the Western Central Alps (18.4%) and the South Flank of the Alps (12.7%). These regional variations are also reflected in the absolute distribution of agricultural areas, referred to as the cultivated land stock, two-thirds of which is situated in the Central Plain region and the North Flank of the Alps. The Jura and the Eastern Central Alps each account for no less than 10% of the total (Map 8).
