WP2 maps HHPs in Estonia, Finland, Germany and Slovakia, their data protocols, data collection methods, data flow, and incentives and payment schemes. The current examples of such programmes include the farm subsidy payment for higher AHW standards in Estonia (PRIA, 2025), NASEVA programme in Finland (Naseva, 2025) and QM quality scheme in Germany (QM-Milch, 2025). According to the knowledge of the project consortium, no national or regional HHP is applied in Slovakia. Therefore, AHW management at farms and data flow of AHW data in Slovakia will be studied. Desk study, literature review and interviews with relevant stakeholders are used as a methodological approach in the 1st stage of the research. The case studies done in all project countries will include a chapter on the AHW management and farmers’ experience in participation in the HHPs. In the questionnaire survey, we are interested in how farmers like HHPs, which elements of the programmes they find most and least useful. Also, we will ask farmers how they think the SFT could help managing HHPs at the farm level. The results will be further discussed and validated in one national LL meeting in all project countries. An international online workshop will be held to present and discuss the main findings on the role of HHPs in AHW management.
