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.
