Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 15 a (new)
Article 3 – paragraph 1 – point 15 a (new)
(15a) “whole site approach” means a method for applying an ecosystem-based approach to the management of human activities which accounts for the ecosystem as a whole, to be implemented by conserving and restoring a range of species and habitats across a larger area than the evidenced extent of the individual feature of interest, including associated species or habitats that are important to the ‘feature’ of interest, to enhance ecological recovery processes to its full extent. This approach is particularly relevant for the restoration of open and dynamic systems, like marine ecosystems, which are influenced by currents, seasons, water temperature and other oceanographic processes;

Recital 48 a (new)
(48a) The Commission's recent analysis has identified that the current high input intensive agricultural model, based on chemical pesticides, is likely to pose a food security threat in the medium term due to a loss of biodiversity, the likely increase in pests, decline in soil health and loss of pollinators which are essential to agricultural production.1a _________________ 1a European Commission, Drivers of food security, SWD(2023)4 final
Amendment 267 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 49
Recital 49
(49) Sustainable, resilient and biodiverse agricultural ecosystems are needed to provide safe, sustainable, nutritious and affordable food. Biodiversity-rich agricultural ecosystems also increase agriculture’s resilience to climate change and environmental risks, while ensuring food safety and security and creating new jobs in rural areas, in particular jobs linked to organic farming and conservation agriculture as well as rural tourism and recreation. Therefore, the Union needs to improve the biodiversity in its agricultural lands, through a variety of existing practices beneficial to or compatible with the biodiversity enhancement, including extensive agriculture. Extensive agriculture is vital for the maintenance of many species and habitats in biodiversity rich areas. There are many extensive agricultural practices which have multiple and significant benefits on the protection of biodiversity, ecosystem services and landscape features such as precision agriculture, organic farming, agro-ecology, agroforestry and low intensity permanent grassland.
