Link with other WP1 Tasks
}Task 1.1 a)
Assessment of the extent of the agricultural soil degradation problems and the corresponding soil conservation practices Task 1.1 b)
Description of the relevant practices/technologies including generally available information on their economics and effectiveness under various (natural, geographical, climatic and agri-environmental) conditions
Overlay between soil degradation and agricultural conservation practices

Task 2.2 Developing a common framework for policy analysis. This framework shall take into account the
different types of policies, institutional settings, actors, etc. It will also specify the policy assessment
criteria to be applied in the case studies.
Task 2.3 Case studies Sub-task 2.3(b) Case study Marche, Italy
8
Task 2.3 Case studies Sub-task 2.3(b)
Case study Marche, Italy
Why the Marche region?
Analysis and evaluation of sustainable agriculture and soil conservation at local scale (regional scale)
Possibility to answer simple questions:
Are the conservation measures applied in areas at risk of soil degradation?
Is it possible to evaluate the effectiveness of the conservation measures (monitoring)?
Possibility to extend the results to the Apennines areas of Italy

How will Task 2.3 be managed?
- Collaboration Agreement with the Marche Region
Analysis of the Rural Development Plan 2000-2006 (ex post evaluation) and 2007-2013 (ex ante evaluation) Ref. UE STAR Indicators
Definition of the soil degradation processes in the Marche region and link with the agri-environmental measures.
- Framework Contract for study on soil degradation /agricultural conservation measures
