Con la recente Riforma della Politica Agricola Comune (PAC) nel 2015, gli allevatori di bestiame che utilizzano pascoli ad alto valore naturalistico che contiene “troppi” alberi e arbusti devono far fronte a maggiori difficoltà per ricevere il sostegno dell’UE necessario per le loro attività.
Questa revisione rappresenta una minaccia importante per la vitalità dei nostri allevamenti più sostenibili e per la biodiversità che tali allevamenti sostengono.
L’organizzazione EFNCP (www.efncp.org) che lavora da anni su queste tematiche ha sollevato ripetutamente questo problema a diversi livelli, incluso a Bruxelles con la Commissione Europea.
Si può consultare il manifesto e firmare l’ appello che chiede di rivedere tale decisione: http://www.efncp.

With the deployment of the new reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in 2015, livestock farmers using High Nature Value pastures containing “too many” trees and shrubs are confronted with increased difficulties to receive the much needed EU support for their farming activities.
This latest problem with the CAP poses important threats to the viability of some of our most sustainable livestock farms, and to the biodiversity maintained by such farming systems. EFNCP has warned repeatedly about this issue, with policy seminars, exchanges with the European Commission, reports, and a previous successful Manifesto in 2012.
We feel it is now time to launch a new campaign to raise awareness and gather as much support as possible from organisations across Europe, particularly those working on farming, conservation and rural development, to ask the EU institutions for urgent policy changes.
