HNV-Link Project: Innovation for High Nature Value farming systems

HNV-Link was an EU Horizon 2020 project that aimed to create a community of practice and knowledge by linking 10 areas throughout the European Union where HNV farming systems are prevalent. These Learning Areas are used to evaluate innovation examples and gaps relevant to HNV systems. Innovation types include technical, commercial, social, institutional, and policy. This document focuses on how the HNV Farming system can innovate, it gives the good practices across Europe, what the challenges were and how the farmers overcome them.
