Farming and Nature
Agricultural landscapes in Europe are longestablished
- some are over 2000 years old.
Agriculture can be a threat to nature, for example,
through pesticide use, intensive production, water
pollution etc.
But some types of farming are crucial for the survival
of nature - many species have adapted toextensively managed and highly variable habitats.
With so little wilderness remaining in most European
countries, farming provides a refuge for many
wildlife species.

Farming Compatible with Nature
The less intensive farming systems use much fewer
inputs of fertilisers and pesticides, while labour
inputs are relatively high.
The density of livestock is usually low, with animalsgrazing semi-natural vegetation, outside for most of
the year.
Grazing and browsing is mainly on semi-natural
vegetation, e.g. permanent pasture.
More natural features such as small woods, hedges,
ponds still survive in the landscape.
Irrigation is either absent or at a fairly low level.

Benefitting Society
Such systems are often traditional, reflectinggenerations of farming methods developed to be
sustainable in local conditions.
These types of farm are not high tech but they offer
society a environmentally-sensitive form of food
production.
They may also help to sustain local culture and
traditions.
They form part of a pattern of land use that is
potentially sustainable in the long term. Nature
cannot be maintained simply on nature reserves.
They generate public benefits, for which farmers
may be paid in the future.

Concept on HNV farming system
The HNV farmland concept has emerged anddeveloped over the last 10-15 years in responseto the growing recognition that many of the
habitats and species upon which we place highnature conservation value in Europe have beencreated by farmers and their traditional farmingpractices.
Farmers in many EU Member States aretherefore increasingly valued as key players inbiodiversity conservation, especially in moremarginal areas with poorer land where lessintensive and therefore more biodiversity-
friendly - farming methods are still practiced.

The HNV concept brings an
The HNV concept brings an alternativeand complementary approach to natureconservation. Instead of focusing solely
upon the maintenance of rare orendangered species and habitats onprotected sites it embraces the need forthe significantly larger areas of land(including a high proportion of semi-naturalhabitats) to continue to be occupied byfarmers and managed with traditional
farming methods

The project will focus
upon the positive benefits
of certain types of
agriculture in Macedoniafor protecting our
valuable habitats and
important species of
wildlife

In the frame of the project we working
on:
Introduce and apply the concept of High
Nature Value (HNV) farming to the different
types of agriculture found in Macedonia;
Raise awareness of the importance of HNVfarming for biodiversity conservation;
Take some first steps towards helping to
support and encourage the continuedexistence of the HNV farming systems that are
found in many regions of our country.
