Objectives
The HNV-Link network is dedicated to developing and sharing innovations that support High Nature Value (HNV) farming systems and communities.
The project will gather innovative solutions of technical, commercial, social, institutional, and policy nature from 10 project Learning Areas. These grassroots success stories and lessons will be made freely available to benefit everyone who is engaged in HNV farming. The project will also identify situations where innovations are missing but could make a positive difference.
