Federal Act
on Agriculture
(Agriculture Act, AgricA)

¹ The meas­ures in this Act aim to en­sure that farms run on a sus­tain­able basis and which are eco­nom­ic­ally ef­fi­cient can achieve in­comes over a peri­od of sev­er­al years that are com­par­able to in­comes in oth­er sec­tors in the same re­gion.

² If in­comes fall clearly be­low a com­par­able level, the Fed­er­al Coun­cil shall in­tro­duce tem­por­ary meas­ures to im­prove the situ­ation.

³ Oth­er branches of trade and in­dustry, the eco­nom­ic situ­ation of work­ers out­side the ag­ri­cul­tur­al sec­tor and the state of the fed­er­al cof­fers must also be taken in­to ac­count.
