High Nature Value (HNV) Grazing Systems in Europe: A Link between Biodiversity and Farm Economics
Large tracts of the European rural land, most frequently in the Less Favoured Areas (LFA) are devoted to lowinput and Large Scale Grazing Systems (LSGS) under severe environmental constraints. A small part of the rural population strives to make a living under a risk of abandonment. Paradoxically, these areas harbour a great part of the European High Nature Value (HNV) farmland. We argue that g...
متن کاملNature Farming in Myanmar
Present agricultural systems in Myanmar follow the traditional methods which utilize the available natural resources combined with improved cultural practices. Although the use of synthetic chemicals such as fertilizers and pesticides have been well established in Myanmar’s agriculture, the quantity actually used is much lower than the recommended optimum rates. Hence, there is no evidence so f...
متن کاملModelling the effects of alternative CAP policies for the Spanish high-nature value cereal-steppe farming systems
The latest reform of the European Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) raised concerns regarding the future of low-productivity farming systems, which are often those most worthy of environmental conservation. In Spain, the conservation of the cereal-steppe avifauna, a community of European importance, relies on the continuity of low-intensity cereal systems and traditional cultivation patterns. In...
متن کاملHigh Nature Value Farmland: Assessment of Soil Organic Carbon in Europe
High Nature Value Farmland (HNVF) is commonly associated with low intensity agricultural systems. HNVFs cover ∼32% of the agricultural land in Europe and are of strategic importance for the European Union policy since they are reservoirs of biodiversity and provide several ecosystem services. Carbon sequestration is an important service that can be supplied by HNVFs as addressed in this study. ...
متن کامل‘Garden agriculture’ and the nature of early farming in Europe and the Near East
This paper takes a comparative approach to early farming, arguing that bioarchaeological work on Neolithic Europe can inform understanding of earlier cultivation and herding in the Near East, where the ‘package’ of crops and livestock emerged in the PPNB period. Evidence for intensive cultivation (‘garden agriculture’) integrated with small-scale herding is outlined for south-east and central E...
