The multifunctionality of grasslands in rural development in a European context
2002
Nagy, G.
Grasslands are the second most important land use systems on Earth. As natural resources they play a multifunctional role. The demand for grasslands is increasing and many new benefits of grasslands have been recognized in recent times. The European approach to rural development considers the 3 main functions of rural areas, and gives a definition of ruralism. European grassland systems, which involve extensive, moderate and high level grassland management, are characaterized by sustainability. The paper discusses how EU policy influences grassland use in the member countries. The investigation of the potential of Hungarian grasslands in the context of the EU rural development approach outlines the high nature conservation value of species-rich native grasslands.
