L'irrigation en France. État des lieux 2000 et évolution

Put together by CEMAGREF at the request of the DGFAR (Department of Forestry and Rural Affairs) of the French Ministry of Agriculture, Food, Fisheries and Rural Affairs, on the basis of a general farm survey made in 2000 (by the Central Department of Surveys and Statistical Studies), this document provides an evaluation with figures and comments on the development of irrigation in France in terms of irrigated surface areas, means of accessing water resources, the proportion of farms equipped for irrigation and the types of crops irrigated. This document will be of interest to all those who are looking for hard figures linked to irrigated agriculture.
