| Résumé : |
Over 75% of the world’s crops depend on animal pollinators for their pollination. In recent years, this significant
ecosystem service has recorded a major decline on its population threatening food security. The causes of this negative trend are mainly derived from the agricultural sector including habitat loss due to agricultural intensification, excessive use of pesticides, monoculture practice, pests and diseases. Several measurements have been implemented by the European Union, but they couldn’t approach this matter holistically. For this reason, an assessment of their economic value in the European agricultural sector its needed. Through this assessment the economic contribution of pollinators will be quantified, the economic losses emerging from their decline will be examined under several different scenarios and the cost-effectiveness of alternative pollinator-friendly farming practices will be explored. However, to achieve this several farm-level data and farm typologies are required. The objective of this study is to understand the regional farming systems, identify patterns and validate the typologies to build the data foundation that will feed the economic modelling chain. To achieve that, existing agricultural data from a recent survey conducted in the municipality of Nestos, Greece will be analyzed and compared with farm typologies given by local experts to validate them. These data include information on farm characteristics, practices, inputs and outputs as long as pollinator interactions, while the typologies include four different farm types. |
