APPLICATION OF THE ANALYTIC HIERACHY PROCESS FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF AGRI-ENVIRONMENTAL MEASURES OF THE RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME

V številnih primerih in rezultatih, ki smo jih pridobili v pričujoči doktorski disertaciji, smo eno prioritetno učinkovitost dodelili številnim kmetijsko-okoljskim ukrepom za doseganje osrednjega cilja, za ocenjevanje kmetijsko-okoljskih ukrepov. S tem smo dokazali, da so ti ukrepi enakovredno prispevali k doseganju osrednjega cilja. Rezultati, ki smo jih pridobili pri ocenjevanju, jasno kažejo, da ekološke in integrirane metode kmetijske pridelave najpomembneje prispevajo k doseganju zastavljenih okoljskih ciljev in izboljšujejo sonaravno kmetijsko pridelavo. Obenem pa so ukrepi, ki preprečujejo nadaljnje zmanjševanje biotske raznovrstnosti in kontaminiranosti pitne vode ter njenih virov, neločljiv sestavni del aktivnosti na področju kmetijstva. Za Republiko Slovenijo je specifično, da ekološka pridelava sadja, vina in vrtnin spada med najpomembnejše kmetijsko-okoljske ukrepe.In many cases in the results obtained in this dissertation, one priority weight was assigned to several AEM towards the main goal, assessment of agri-environmental measures. This proved that those measures made an equal contribution to achieve the main goal. The results obtained in our assessment clearly show that organic and integrated production methods are seen to contribute most to achieving the set environmental goals and enhancing sustainable agricultural production. At the same time measures which contribute to stopping the decline of biodiversity and preventing contamination of drinking water and its sources are also seen as an integral part of agricultural activities. That organic fruit, vine and horticultural production are seen as the most important AEM is specific for the Republic of Slovenia because of its large amount of area designated as Least Favoured Areas which are not suitable for arable farming
