The challenge of monitoring environmental priorities: the example of HNV Farmland

This paper explores the challenges of monitoring High Nature Value (HNV) Farmland, focusing on policy context, types of HNV land, approaches, outcomes, and issues faced. It discusses the need for more effective environmental monitoring post-2013 to align with EU objectives. The text emphasizes the importance of understanding the intended use of monitoring data to ensure optimal results.

  1. The challenge of monitoring environmental priorities: the example of HNV Farmland Zélie Peppiette 122nd EAAE Seminar, Ancona 17-18th February 2011

  2. Policy context • Increasing emphasis on environmental impact • Development of EU AEIs since 1998 • 2003 UNECE Biodiversity resolution • Current EU rural development policy • EU2020

  3. What is HNV farmland?Type 1: Semi-natural vegetation

  4. What is HNV farmland?Type 2: Low intensity mosaic

  5. What is HNV farmland?Type 3: Species specific • Great Bustard (Otis tarda)

  6. Summary of approaches: method • IRENA/EEA 3 • Land cover 13 • Designation 12 • Species data/habitat 10 • Sampling 1 • Systems 7 • IACS 5 • Management schemes 4

  7. Summary of approaches: outcome • Type 1 only 4 • Type 2 only 1 • Type 3 only 1 • Types 1 & 2 5 • Types 1 & 3 6 • Types 1,2 & 3 7

  8. Issues and challenges 1 • Farming systems data • Specific features (hedgerows, ponds etc) • Abandoned land/HNV confusion • Assessment of quality/condition • Sampling vs full coverage • Territorial level (parcel, commune, grid)

  9. Issues and challenges 2 • Links to IACS/LPIS • Proxy/derived indicators • Data variation • Mutual trust • Resource constraints • Targeting vs monitoring

  10. Where do we go now? • RD policy post-2013 likely to be closely aligned to overall EU objectives, including biodiversity, climate change etc • More and better environmental monitoring • One concept, many methods

  11. The paradox • What is needed depends on the intended use BUT…… • Potential use is dependent on what can be provided
