Preserving production potential, the environment and landscapes.

Agricultural land is subject to many pressures: the retreat of farmland in favor of urbanization and infrastructure, conflicts of use, landscape transformation... SIQO are not spared. And yet, the development of quality agriculture and productive, living rural territories is essential for our food sovereignty, ecological transition, but also the development of local activity and sectors.

INAO, a player in the protection of terroirs and territories

INAO plays an important role in the protection of agricultural areas under SIQO, as well as their production potential. Legislative and regulatory texts stipulate that INAO must be consulted on draft urban planning documents covering an appellation area, and that it participates in departmental commissions for the preservation of natural, agricultural and forestry areas. Over the years, INAO has strengthened its role in this area.
