Practice Abstract: Community Supported Agriculture, combining strengths

Major concerns in agriculture are providing a livelihood for farmers, feeding the growing population and protecting the environment. Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) is an alternative that offers a solution. It’s a partnership between the participant and the farmers, where the participant pays a fixed contribution, thus participating in the potential risks but also the potential abundance.

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.
