Between the 4th – 7th June a group of 20 portuguese farmers, researchers and public administration people (Direcção Regional da Agricultura – Alentejo, Rede Rural Nacional) is visiting the region of The Burren, Ireland.
The visit to The Burren region is one of the Cross-Visits organized within the H2020 Project HNV-Link – Innovation for High Nature Value Farming (more info here).
This 3-day visit includes visits to farms participating in the scheme and a workshop focused on the needs of the Portuguese Montado system for a similar payment approach.
The main goal of this visit is to gain knowledge on the experience of local co-construction of result based agro-environmental measures and to discuss possible problems and applied solutions – and to discuss in the Portuguese group and with the involved people in the Burren, which pathways can be more fruitful for the implementation of similar RBPS in Alentejo, Portugal.
