Focus Group 'Enhancing the biodiversity on farmland through high-diversity landscape features'
How can farmers create and maintain high-diversity landscape features (HDLF) that positively impact farmland biodiversity?
Tasks
- Identify the challenges and opportunities for farmers in introducing a greater diversity of HDLF to increase both the diversity and area of habitats and/or better connectivity between habitats.
- Collect and highlight good practices and inspiring success stories, approaches and methodologies for introducing and maintaining HDLF at different scales and landscapes.
- Identify examples of valorising (from the social and economic point of view) the ecosystem services provided by HDLF.
- Identify capacity building experiences and needs for implementation of HDLF.
- Suggest innovative HDLF and appropriate maintenance/management models essential to the value of landscapes and HDLF for wildlife.
- Identify further research needs from practice, and possible gaps in technical knowledge.
- Suggest innovative ideas for EIP-AGRI Operational Groups and other innovative projects.
