Viticulture on slopes

In order to take the difficult production and living conditions in agriculture into adequate consideration, slope subsidies have been established for areas eligible for direct payments. A slopes dataset has been created for general direct payments (GeoIV 152.1; DSO Art. 43) and a dataset for vineyards on slopes for viticulture payments (GeoIV 152.2; DSO Art. 45). There are different categories of slope gradient. The vineyards on slopes dataset is part of the data used to calculate the agricultural direct payments on the basis of a geographic information system (GIS). Standardised calculations have been produced for the whole of Switzerland. The production is based on the "SwissAlti3D" terrain model from swisstopo. A distinction is made between the following slope gradient categories: <30; 30-50; >50 percent. Sloping areas less than 100 square metres in size were not taken into consideration.
