Agriculture and territories - Agricultural census 2010
Primeur N° 299
Farm decline stronger in urban areas
Between 2000 and 2010, 31% of farms were lost in urban poles (urban units of at least 1500 jobs) compared with 26% across metropolitan France. Their agricultural area, including ailing market gardens, also decreased more strongly. On the whole, depending on their proximity to urban zones, farms show quite different characteristics.
