The Political Framework for High Nature Value Farming WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme

The Political Framework Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) Agreed in 1992, Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Three main goals: The conservation of biodiversity; Sustainable use of the components of biodiversity; and Sharing the benefits arising from the commercial and other utilisation of genetic resources in a fair and equitable way

WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme The Political Framework Environment for Europe Conference, Kiev (2003) European Environmental Ministers agreed the following targets: By 2006, identify, using agreed criteria, all high nature value areas in agricultural ecosystems in the pan European region By 2008, a substantial proportion of these areas will be under biodiversity- sensitive management by using appropriate mechanisms such as rural development instruments, agri-environmental programs and organic agriculture, to inter alia support their economic and ecological viability. By 2008, financial subsidy and incentive schemes for agriculture in the pan-European region will take the conservation and sustainable use of biodiversity into consideration

WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme The Political Framework European Agriculture Fund for Rural Development ( ) Explicit request for member states to address the issues of: Biodiversity, and the preservation of high nature value farming and forestry systems, Water, Climate change.

WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme The Political Framework European Environment Agency and Joint Research Center 1st mapping exercise to identify HNV farming areas: initially in the EU-15 Member States, and the results published in 2004; 2 nd mapping included 25+2 (Bulgaria and Romania); results in 2006 DG Agri HNVF Indicator study
