Abstract
The purpose of this study is to assess the resilience of agricultural landscapes and associated ecosystem services at multiple scales (a farm and landscape) in Kyrenia Region of Northern Cyprus. In doing so, the key objectives of the study were (a) to design a conceptual framework for identifying the key linkages between the resilience of the agricultural landscape and farming systems, (b) to determine the major suitable resilience assessment principles and relevant indicators for both systems, and (c) to measure the resilience of the systems as well as to assess their cross-scale linkages. The suitable resilience assessment indicators for both systems were developed by reviewing the relevant literature. Two social valuation techniques (e.g. a multiple-choice questionnaire) were employed to assess the resilience of both systems. The participants rated the resilience of the systems and their components on a 1–5 scale. The results showed that the ecological resilience of the farming system is medium with 3.23 points. The resilience of the agricultural landscape system was evaluated within the context of three dimensions: agro-ecosystem, the agricultural, and human systems. Their resilience was found to be low and ranged between 2.40 and 2.90 points. The system’s resilience was estimated to be low with 2.68 points. The outcomes of this study are significant in terms of helping policy-makers and resource managers to better understand the cross-scale linkages between the resilience of the agricultural landscape and farming systems to achieve the sustainability of natural resources, food production, and community livelihoods in Kyrenia Region and elsewhere.
