Objectives

Supporting organisms are organisms that are beneficial to agriculture (pollinators and natural enemies of pests). These organisms and their habitats are of great importance to the agricultural landscape, and are often under threat because of intensive agriculture and rapid change. Measures will be implemented to ensure the long-term conservation of habitats and hiding places of supporting organisms, as well as priority habitat types and habitats that provide a more diverse range of supporting organisms. The project will have implications for maintaining species diversity, protecting natural resources, increasing the productive potential of agricultural land and adapting to climate change.
