Le zone agricole servono a garantire a lungo termine la base dell’approvvigionamento alimentare, a salvaguardare il paesaggio e lo spazio per lo svago o ad assicurare la compensazione ecologica; devono essere tenute per quanto possibile libere da costruzioni, in sintonia con le loro differenti funzioni e comprendono: a. i terreni idonei alla coltivazione agricola o all’orticoltura produttiva necessari all’adempimento dei vari compiti dell’agricoltura; b. i terreni che, nell’interesse generale, devono essere coltivati dall’agricoltura.
Per quanto possibile, devono essere delimitate ampie superfici contigue.
Nelle loro pianificazioni, i Cantoni tengono conto in maniera adeguata delle diverse funzioni della zona agricola.
