Human resource management, incentive systems and financing benefits to retain employees, linked to production results

Agriculture has long been based on farming families to supply most of the farm labour. The number of farming families has decreased, due to the migration of youth from rural areas to cities to pursue employment and obtain a more competitive income. In the longer term new agricultural technologies have the potential to help address the challenges of the labour requirements on dairy farms.

Forests for water in Catalonia

Document

This innovation case is strengthening the link between forests and water with the overall aim of diversifying financing sources for forest management by integrating ecosystem service provision into the economic balance sheet. Work includes integration in the Urban Masterplan for the Rialb Reservoir where different local stakeholders (economic, tourism, water and others) are already working together. The aim is for written recognition in a legal document of the role of forestry in water and landscape conservation, and the recognition of forestry as a potentially relevant economic activity in the area that can be promoted along with tourism. The innovation action also works with the public Segre-Rialb Consortium to assess the suitability of a payment for ecosystem services scheme in relation to water in the area.
