The Good Practice Workshop was organised in 7-8 June 2016 in Bonn, Germany.
- Programming period: 2014-2022
This report summarises the main outcomes of the Good Practice Workshop 'Preparing the assessment of High Nature Value Farming in Rural Development Programmes 2014-2020', co-organised by the Evaluation Helpdesk and the German Federal Agency for Nature Conservation (BfN), on 7-8 June 2016 in Bonn, Germany.
The aim of the workshop was to provide a forum for the discussion and exchange of useful practices in identifying and monitoring the extent and quality of High Nature Value (HVN) farmland. This included:
- A stocktaking of the methodologies used by Member States to identify HNV farming (extent and condition).
- Exploring the systems in place for monitoring HNV farming in the Member States: What systems are in place? How often is the monitoring done? What kind of data is used?
- Identifying advanced methods to assess HNV farming. What criteria indicate an advanced method? What needs to be in place to apply advanced methods for the assessment of HNV farming consistently?
