Annotation
The aim of the work is to determine optimal innovative agroecological practices at the farm level in the Trnava LTSER site through interdisciplinary research of the agricultural landscape in the sense of the concept of socio-ecological systems. These are practices that increase biodiversity, soil health and resilience to climate change, ensure prosperity and social sustainability of the local community. The results will be based on the outputs of the Living Lab - an approach focused on the cooperation of scientists, land users, policymakers and other stakeholders in the specific environment of the selected farm. Data and monitoring systems that are already being implemented in selected areas in the Trnava district, or. own data obtained from field research on land use, biotic, abiotic and socio-economic conditions as well as sociological research will be available.
