Popis: Collective report of the Advanced Master “Forest, Nature & Society”. Option “Nature and Society Management at International level”. Teaching module “environmental assessment of international projects on natural resource management”; Within the European research program on High Nature Value farming, CIHEAM-IAMM and the LAG 5 wish to identify and support High Nature Value farming systems and communities, and foster biodiversity and agriculture as an alternative to the current seasonal touristic economic development. This study led by French students from AgroParisTech and Croatian students from Split Faculty of Economics aims at providing a territorial analysis in south Dalmatian islands (Mljet, Pelješac, Korčula), using the analytical framework of “strategic environmental management analysis” (SEMA) and based on a qualitative field survey. It appears that the natural and cultural heritage of the three islands are closely intertwined with one another, and that anthropic activities played a great role in shaping the current ecosystems in the area to what they are today. Moreover, the current terrestrial biodiversity is characterized by an exceptional richness, which does have to do with practices related to HNVf, making it a relevant scheme to address the preservation challenge in the region. Looking closely at each island in their specificities, the dynamics are slightly different in each case. A lot of the dynamics observed in Mljet have to do with the dual monitoring of the island by the National Park and the city administration, although most actors met are willing to play an active role in the preservation of their environment and traditional agricultural ways. In Korčula, tourism activities are much more developed and impactful and also more integrated in the agricultural system, which leaves way for a couple of breakthrough initiatives combining sustainable farming and tourism – although agriculture is mostly oriented towards wine and olive. Lastly, Pelješac appears as a much more contrasted territory, with more scattered, little developed forms of agriculture in the South-East, mostly for self-consumption, and certified quality wine production in the North-West, appealing to a certain form of high-class tourism. The transversal analysis of the main economic sectors encountered in agriculture (olive, wine and other) enables to identify key actors for the development of economically integrated HNVf practices, as well as underdeveloped sectors of activity (either because they are being abandoned or because their potential has never been exploited) that could be HNVfcompatible. In the end, the study presents a wide range of different levers that could be activated at different levels to apply HNVf techniques in a way that would help preserve the natural and cultural heritage of the area.
