This report is produced as part of collaboration between the European Forum on Nature Conservation and Pastoralism (EFNCP) and WWF Danube-Carpathian Programme (WWFDCP). Both organisations recognise the importance of certain farming systems for nature conservation. Between 2006 and 2008 a project was executed aiming at finding out at a local scale where agriculture overlaps with areas of High Nature Value in order to understand better the relation between both. The project consisted of six local workshops, three each in Bulgaria (Strandzha, Rusenski Lom and Western Stara Planina) and Romania (Sibiu, Mehedinti and Galati), and a reporting seminar in Brussels. After concentrating on the ecological aspects, the workshops analysed the socio-economical needs of local farmers and identified where policy can be improved. In this way the project linked the developing concept of High Nature Value farming to the reality of farming and considered the practicalities of implementing the EU commitments on identifying and supporting HNV farming in different local situations.
