The Emys Foundation has signed a dozen land stewardship agreements with local organic crop and livestock farmers. Our main goal is to work with them to implement ecological farming and livestock practices with high nature value (HNV) that are capable of sustaining high levels of biodiversity, which in turn aids conservation. The organisation has been working for many years with a programme to foster land stewardship. However, many small farmers who want to apply ecological and HNV practices have very few resources available to make the necessary investments and changes on their properties. We aim to support the Emys Foundation’s land stewardship producers so that they can adapt their properties and carry out possible actions to promote ecological farming in Selva county.
