What are the main socio-economic challenges for High Nature Value Farming in Bulgaria?
As part of the project "14 years of support for High Nature Value Farming Systems in Bulgaria: Lessons learnt about the policy and socio-economic challenges underpinning the loss of cultural landscapes in the Mediterranean region ", funded by MAVA foundation, STEP experts conducted a socio-economic survey among more than 70 HNV farmers.
The main results are summarized in a story map presenting the challenges and opportunities for HNVF in Bulgaria. The story map also presents the current state of HNV farming systems - production systems, main sources of income and marketing, policies for support, advisory services, as well as the 2030 HNVF vision.
