Unveiling soil stewardship: Plural values in the management of the Montado agro-silvo-pastoral system in Portugal
Farmers’ and landowners’ decisions affecting soil management reflect not only economic motivations related to productivity, but also deeper principles and values associated with soil health. However, such values are often implicit and not explicitly acknowledged in decision-making processes. In complex agro-silvo-pastoral systems like the Montado in Southern Iberia, where multiple productive and climatic pressures intersect, soil often remains hi…

Innovation brokers in High Nature Value farming areas: A Strategic Approach to Engage Effective Socioeconomic and Agroecological Dynamics
High Nature Value (HNV) farmlands currently retain most of the biodiversity associated with agricultural landscapes in Europe. In a time of globalized food systems, the social-ecological conditions to maintain these low-intensity and thus less productive HNV farming systems are difficult to meet. Halting the loss of HNV farmland requires fostering the socioeconomic viability of HNV farming systems that is compatible with social, cultural, and eco…
Result-based payments as a tool to preserve the High Nature Value of complex silvo-pastoral systems: Progress Toward Farm-Based Indicators
As shown by the Green Deal's ambition, the European Commission is progressively pushing for an environmental shift and climate action in Europe. For the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), this involves a stronger focus on greening policy objectives. For agri-environmental schemes, this entails changes toward performance-based payments, partially replacing traditional activity-based payments. The CAP foresees greater flexibility in national program…
Participatory monitoring and evaluation to enable social learning, adoption, and out-scaling of regenerative agriculture

When does Innovation Become Custom? A Case Study of the Montado, Southern Portugal
In theory, if a new idea offers a good solution for a current problem and is properly widespread, then there is an ongoing brokering process, and, at a certain moment in time, an innovation is no longer considered as such. In the present study, we examine the case of the Montado, an agro-silvo-pastoral system in southern Portugal, to reflect on when and how innovations become custom. Integrating data from 2013 and 2017, we identified innovative i…
European Landscapes in Transition: Implications for Policy and Practice
The Great Trossachs Forest is a 16,500 hectare area set in the heart of the Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park (LLTNP) in central Scotland (Figure 1), and accounts for 9% of the National Park area. It stretches from Inversnaid on the eastern shores of Loch Lomond in the west, across the Loch Katrine catchment to Glen Finglas and Callander in the east (Figure 1). According to Scottish Natural Heritage’s Landscape Character Assessment (SNH…
Public policies creating tensions in Montado management models: Insights from farmers’ representations
A landscape menu to please them all: Relating users’ preferences to land cover classes in the Mediterranean region of Alentejo, Southern Portugal
Linking farm management and ecosystem service provision: Challenges and opportunities for soil erosion prevention in Mediterranean silvo-pastoral systems
Urban population looking for rural landscapes: Different appreciation patterns identified in Southern Europe
A local landscape in transition between production and consumption goals: Can new management arrangements preserve the local landscape character
Around towns in the Alentejo region, the landscape is dominated by a characteristic agricultural small-scale mosaic. These areas are central in the region landscape character – even if the large-scale latifundia landscape of the extensive silvo-pastoral systems is most commonly associated with the region. In the last two decades, these parcels became extremely attractive for new comers, who settle in the rural context as residents, week-end visit…
Transitions in European land-management regimes between 1800 and 2010
The Landscape as an Asset in Southern European Fragile Agricultural Systems: Contrasts and Contradictions in Land Managers Attitudes and Practices
Transition theories suggest that there is a spatial, temporal and structural co-existence of several processes of transition from productivism to post-productivism going on in rural areas in multiple combinations resulting in a more complex, contested, variable mix of production, consumption and protection goals. This is particularly true for South European landscapes dominated by extensive agro-silvo-pastoral systems. The fragile agricultural se…
How do policy options modify landscape amenities? An assessment approach based on public expressed preferences
Unfolding relations between land cover and farm management: High nature value assessment in complex silvo-pastoral systems
The high nature value (HNV) concept, proposed by the European Environment Agency, recognizes that specific farming systems support high biodiversity levels, mainly as a result of extensive management practices. The Portuguese montado is one of the most significant HNV systems in southern Europe. However, considering the great complexity characterizing these systems both in land management and in landscape structure, a specific context-oriented me…
Developing comprehensive indicators for monitoring rural policy impacts on landscape in Alentejo, southern Portugal
In recent decades, rural Europe has experienced major transitions, impelled by multiple drivers at varying scales, leading to increasingly differentiated modes of rural occupance. There is a need to monitor the multiple forces driving these transitions, so as to ensure that rural support and development policies are well targeted. In this paper, we develop a methodology which recognizes and regionalizes the three dimensions underlying rural multi…
The Index of Function Suitability (IFS): A new tool for assessing the capacity of landscapes to provide amenity functions
Landscape preferences in the cork oak Montado region of Alentejo, southern Portugal: Searching for valuable landscape characteristics for different user groups
The Montado is the open savannah-like landscape predominant in southern Portugal. This landscape results from an extensively managed agro-silvo-pastoral system and has for a long time been appreciated for a variety of other uses. Research is needed in relation to the links between the various intensities of use, the resulting landscape patterns and new societal functions. In this study the preferences of user groups representing these functions a…
