Development of the Sustainable Agriculture Development Plan for Saint-Pierre and Miquelon Saint Pierre and Miquelon

Context of the service

With four professional farmers in operation and a significant reduction in the areas developed in recent decades, agriculture in Saint-Pierre and Miquelon was at its lowest in 2018.
The Sustainable Agriculture Development Plan (SADP) aims to revitalize the agricultural sector by removing barriers faced by existing farms and those that could be created.
Built by the Territorial Collectivity and the Directorate of Territories, Agriculture and the Sea (DTAM), with the support of SalvaTerra, it sets the following objectives:
- Strengthen the share of agriculture in the economy of the archipelago;
- Improve the coverage of agricultural product needs with local products;
- Strengthen the role of agriculture in spatial planning, biodiversity conservation and landscape maintenance.
