Agriculture with care for nature: Eco-scheme for the extensive maintenance of permanent grasslands (VIDEO)

The modern way of intensive agriculture and livestock breeding is one of the main reasons for the deterioration and loss of biological diversity. At the same time, it is entirely dependent on natural resources and the health of the natural ecosystem – water, soil, pollinators, birds, regulating insect populations are important.

Can the agriculture provide food security while caring for nature and how? - Yes of course.

Several interventions specifically aimed at protecting biological diversity have been laid down in the Bulgarian Strategic Plan for the Development of Agriculture and Rural Areas 2023-2027. The series "Agriculture with care for nature" tell us about some of them.

The video "Eco-scheme for the extensive maintenance of permanent grasslands" tells us not only how pastures and meadows are maintained by applying this eco-scheme, but also introduces us to the different types of grass ecosystems and their inhabitants, so that we know where our efforts are directed.

The series "Agriculture with care for nature" were created jointly by the Bulgarian Society for the Protection of Birds (BSPS) and the Society for Territorial and Ecological Prosperity (STEP) (https://www.step-bg.bg/bg ) with the support of the civil initiative "Good food, good farming".
