Preservation of traditional agricultural landscape that represents high nature value farmland (HNVF) in the mountain region depends mainly on individual small-scale farming and on eventual state subsidies. The HNVF concept is not implemented effectively into current policy instruments in Slovakia, however, national authorities already took initiative to create expert platform in order to identify HNVF indicators and consequently extent of the HNVF. Majority of the HNVF is recognised on semi-natural grasslands (Type 1). We propose small patches of mosaic landscape to be recognised as the HNVF Type 2 farmland and to integrate them in national agricultural policy similarly as in other EU countries. Outcomes of the traditional agricultural landscape nationwide mapping – map and database of the traditional agricultural landscape may be the basis for border delimitation of HNVF.
