The aim of the conference (organised in collaboration with EFNCP, Fundatia ADEPT and Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu) is to address the importance of High Nature Value Farmland for the delivery of ecosystem services in Europe.
Central to the conference is the field trip to some of the most biodiverse farmed lowland landscapes remaining in Europe - rich in wildflowers, birds, butterflies and large mammals including bears and wolves.
It will be will assess the role of HNV farming systems in providing a wide range of ecosystem services: not only biodiversity conservation, but other services vital to our long term future, such as carbon sequestration, quality and security of water and food, and resistance to climate change, fires and flooding.
Participation in the conference is free.
