Database on the Performance of Current Agro-Ecological Farming Systems (AEFS) as an Input to the Modelling in WP4
<p>This database contains farm data (e.g. yields) and results (indicators) from assessments with the three decision support tools in the UNISECO case studies: SMART (www.fibl.org/en/themes/smart-en.html), Cool Farm Tool (coolfarmtool.org) and COMPAS (www.thuenen.de). This version (2.0) was developed as a benchmark for the assessment of exemplary cases of how the core dilemmas of agro-ecological transitions may be overcome at farm level and as an input to the modelling at territorial level in WP4.</p> <p>This database was created in the course of the H2020 project UNISECO. The project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement N° 773901.</p>
Agriculture and food system scenarios with particular focus on organic and agro-ecological farming practices in the EU
<p>This is a comprehensive dataset of the agriculture and food system scenarios co-developed with stakeholders with the agricultural land use model BioBaM-GHG 2.0 and presented in Deliverable 4.2 of the H2020 project UNISECO. It includes sub-national (NUTS1/2-level) data on agricultural production and consumption, land use, greenhouse gas emissions from livestock and agricultural activities, etc. for the base year 2012 and the scenario years 2030 and 2050. The scenarios include a Business as usual case and four scenarios with focus on organic and agro-ecological farming practices in the EU, based on different storylines. Further information is available from the above-mentioned deliverable.</p> <p>A detailed model description is provided in the paper "Exploring the option space for land system futures at regional to global scales: The diagnostic agro-food, land use and greenhouse gas emission model BioBaM-GHG 2.0", in which these scenarios are also presented as an exemplary application of the model BioBaM-GHG 2.0.</p> <p>This work was funded by the ERA-NET SusAn project 101243 AnimalFuture, as well as by the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme and its funding of the H2020 UNISECO project under grant agreement N°773901.</p>
Survey data Agro-ecological farming in Protected Areas
<p>“Produce better, eat well" is the subtitle of the Good Food Strategy of the Brussels-Capital Region. Can (sub)urban protected areas simultaneously contribute to this challenge and support biodiversity? In order to find inspiring cases, we launched an online survey in English, French and Dutch and spread it through networks on agro-ecological farming and nature conservation. We identified 76 Western-European cases of agro-ecological farming in protected areas. This database includes all of these cases. The survey was followed by in-depth interviews and the findings were summarized in this report.</p>
Exploring changes in ecosystem service values in strongly human-impacted, contrasting agro-ecological environments
<p>Evaluating the impacts of land-use/land-cover (LULC) changes on ecosystem service values (ESVs) is essential for sustainable use and management of ecosystems. In this study, we evaluated the impact of LULC changes on ESVs over the period 1982–2016/17 in contrasting, strongly human-impacted agro-ecological environments: Guder (highland), Aba Gerima (midland), and Debatie (lowland) watersheds of the Upper Blue Nile basin, Ethiopia. During the study period, the continuous expansion of cultivated land at the expense of natural vegetation (bushland, forest, and grazing land) severely reduced the total ESV by about US$58 thousand (35%) in Aba Gerima and US$31 thousand (29%) in Debatie watersheds. In contrast, the unprecedented expansion of plantations, mainly through the planting of Acacia decurrens, helped the total ESV rebound by about US$71 thousand (54%) in Guder watershed after 2006, after it had decreased by about US$61 thousand (32%) between 1982 and 2006. The reduction in natural forest area was the major contributor to the loss of total ESV in the study watersheds, ranging from a reduction of US$31 thousand (63%) in Debatie to US$96.9 thousand (70%) in Guder between 1982 and 2016/17. On an area-specific basis, LULC changes reduced the average ESV from US$560 ha–1 yr–1 (1982) in Guder to US$306 ha–1 yr–1 (2017) in Debatie watersheds. Specific ESVs such as provisioning (mainly as food production) and regulating services (mainly as erosion control and climate regulation) accounted for most of the total ESVs estimated for the study watersheds. In most cases the total and specific ESVs of the watersheds were negatively associated with the population growth, which in turn was positively associated with the expansion of cultivated land over the study period. In Guder watershed, however, ESVs were positively associated with population growth, especially after 2012. This resulted primarily from the conversion of cultivated land to plantations (predominantly with nitrogen-fixing Acacia decurrens trees) because of the farmers' growing desire to rehabilitate degraded cultivated land while simultaneously generating income through the sale of charcoal from this fast-growing tree. Our results suggest, therefore, that future policy measures and directions should focus on improving vegetation cover through planting multipurpose trees such as Acacia decurrens to prevent future loss of ESV in the midland and lowland regions of the Upper Blue Nile basin and beyond.</p>

Database of field experiments on the effect of agro-ecological strategies on N2O emissions in European arable land
<table> <tbody> <tr> <td>The database with a specific focus on conservation agriculture consists of 11 field experiments located in 11 sites with mostly loamy soil texture across 8 European countries, thus covering different European climate zones, from northern over western to southern Europe. Among the 11 studies, a total of 3 were in Spain, 2 in Denmark, and 1 Belgium, Italy, Germany, Finland, Switzerland and the UK, respectively. Particularly, among the 11 studies, in 8 no-tillage was applied, while in 2 and in 1 conservation tillage minimum tillage was adopted, respectively. The duration of soil N2O emission monitoring ranges from 79 to 365 days.<br>The database with a specific focus on organic agriculture consists of 11 field experiments, from 8 field studies located in sites with mostly silt loamy soil texture across 7 European countries, thus covering different European climate zones, from northern over western to southern Europe.
