Product requirements

The area was selected as a COMDEKS pilot landscape mainly due to its biodiversity and hydrological values, as well as it ranking as one of the most underdeveloped Slovak regions in terms of its social, economic, agricultural and ecological aspects

Advantages

A two-day landscape-wide baseline assessment workshop, was attended by 20 participants representing members of civic associations and volunteer organizations, village mayors, representatives of agricultural cooperatives and craft centers, and local communities. The COMDEKS baseline assessment workshop piloted a set of Socio-ecological Production Landscapes and Seascapes indicators (SEPLS), to help measure and understand the resilience of the target landscape.
The long-term objective is to improve the water quality and hydrologic regime of the target landscape in order to retain water in the landscape, to revitalize and manage semi natural eco-systems, as well as to promote production of traditional products and services in harmony with local resources and conditions.
