The challenge of monitoring environmental priorities: the example of HNV Farmland
Zélie Peppiette
122nd EAAE Seminar, Ancona17-18th 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 1: Semi-natural vegetation
What is HNV farmland?Type 2: Low intensity mosaic
• Great Bustard (Otis tarda)
What is HNV farmland?Type 3: Species specific
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
