Amálie Pilot Farm - application of the Smart Landscapes concept

About this project

<p>The project proposal is focused on the implementation of selected innovative measures in the pilot area of the Amálie. The measures implemented by the project are being developed within the Smart Landscape concept developed at the Czech University of Life Sciences Prague. The measures are aimed at supporting existing ecosystems and the development of biodiversity in the cultural landscape, negatively affected not only by agricultural but also by anthropogenic activities in general. In particular, it is a set of measures aimed at minimizing the erosion of agricultural land, water resources management taking into account climate change, support for the representation of trees in agricultural land as landscape elements (promoting non-production functions), concurrent tree cultivation, and agriculture in agroforestry systems (supporting tree production functions), improvement adaptation of the agricultural landscape to climate change, increasing biodiversity in agroecosystems, support for wetland ecosystems and floodplain biodiversity. Special attention is paid to measures on drainage systems to minimize their negative impacts on the deterioration of ecosystems and the loss of biodiversity. The submitted project expands the currently implemented innovative measures in Amalia pilot farm, intending to support their transferability in the conditions of the Czech Republic and more widely within the European landscape.<br> &nbsp;</p>
