Agricultural management plays a key role in the maintenance
of valued cultural landscapes as well as biodiversity-rich
farmlands all over Europe.
One of CEEweb's Working Groups aims to make rural development
sustainable in CEE countries with a view to maintain and increase
biodiversity in rural areas, to promote the integration of
environment conservation into agriculture, and to improve
the conditions of living standards of the countryside. Read
