The challenge of monitoring environmental priorities: the example of HNV Farmland Zélie Peppiette 122nd EAAE Seminar, Ancona 17-18th February 2011
Policy context • Increasing emphasis on environmental impact • Development of EU AEIs since 1998 • 2003 UNECE Biodiversity resolution • Current EU rural development policy • EU2020
What is HNV farmland?Type 3: Species specific • Great Bustard (Otis tarda)
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
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
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)
Issues and challenges 2 • Links to IACS/LPIS • Proxy/derived indicators • Data variation • Mutual trust • Resource constraints • Targeting vs monitoring
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
The paradox • What is needed depends on the intended use BUT…… • Potential use is dependent on what can be provided
