This conference will assess the role of HNV farming systems in providing a wide range of ecosystem services: not only biodiversity conservation, but other services vital to our long term future, such as carbon sequestration, quality and security of water and food, and resistance to climate change, fires and flooding.
HNV farmed landscapes are dominated by semi-natural grasslands, and often small-scale traditional management. Their ecosystem services make them of global importance. Should these farming systems continue to be treated by the CAP as the poor relation of competitive, intensive farming?
Both the grasslands and the farming systems that use them are under threat. This conference will propose improved EU strategies for maintaining them – the CAP reform debate of 2010-13 is a major opportunity for re-targeting CAP resources, so that they help to secure the future of these HNV grasslands and the ecosystem services they deliver.
