Agroenvironnement (PDZA Roussillon – 2022-2024)
What is it?
Since 2022, the Roussillon RCM and OBV SCABRIC have been working together to implement the actions of its Plan de développement de la zone agricole en lien avec l’agroenvironnement (PDZA). Actions 21 and 22 of the Roussillon MRC’s PDZA encourage farmers to adopt agricultural practices that promote soil, water and biodiversity quality.
What do we do?
To implement these actions, the OBV SCABRIC and the Roussillon RCM host an annual information and awareness session on agri-environmental best practices. The OBV SCABRIC also produces an annual report detailing the subsidies available to producers and the agri-environmental actions that have been undertaken on the territory.
