Agrarian Parks

Explore the agricultural parks in the province of Barcelona, including details about their size and the municipalities they include.

Source: Own research based on data from the boundaries of the agrarian parks or the municipal boundaries

Agrarian parks play a crucial role in promoting a safer, healthier, more sustainable, and local food system. The Barcelona Provincial Council is a leader in preserving, managing, and revitalizing agricultural spaces, and it collaborates with local governments and institutions to raise awareness about the benefits of preserving agricultural heritage.

Methodological note

We used the 1:50,000 municipal boundary layer from the Cartographic and Geological Institute of Catalonia (ICGC). In cases where agricultural parks have their own boundaries, we used those.

Data sources:

It's important to note that the calculation of agrarian surface area includes both cropland and forestry, and was determined using ICGC's coverage map. For agrarian parks with their own boundaries, we used those for the calculation. Other data such as crop types, population, ecological information, etc., were compiled at the municipal level.
