In French Real Estate, what does the organization SAFER mean or do in France?

In French real estate the acronym SAFER is for Les Sociétés d’Aménagement Foncier et d’Etablissement Rural. SAFER is an organization created in France by the Farm Bill of 1960.

When you are going to buy or sell agricultural land in France it is most likely that the sale will be reviewed by SAFER as they have the right of first refusal on the sale. The reason they have this right is intended to protect the economic and environmental value of agricultural land in France.
