project - EIP-AGRI Operational Group
The use of the native plant species diversity to create natural landscape elements
Objectives
The objective to understand that the restoration of high-value landscape elements will promote a better understanding of the regularities occurring in nature, ecosystem services, promote the efficient use of resources, and decide to switch to sustainable food systems, without harming nature and the climate. Farmers will be drawn to the fact that the creation of high-value natural elements will restore the ecosystems transformed by agrolanshafts. Agroecosystems will be supplemented by species that were not associated with cultivated plants, diverse trophic relationships will be formed. Larger areas will be dedicated to sustainable and other biodiversity-friendly practices.
Activities
Stages of activity: Creation of a working group for the practical application of results on farms; preparation the methodology based on scientific knowledge; installation of natural landscape elements of high biological value in regions, meeting different requirements of ecological functions; implementation of events related to the dissemination of project results; adaptation, preparation and dissemination of scientific recommendations on a national level.

1 Practice Abstracts
The creation of high-value natural elements will restore ecosystems transformed by agro-landscapes. Field strips, point landscape elements will create places for additional feeding and habitats for insects, birds, animals, and conditions for migration. Agroecosystems will be supplemented by species (the gene pool of local species will increase) that were not associated with cultivated plants and weeds, diverse trophic relationships will be formed. Larger areas will be dedicated to sustainable and organic farming and other biodiversity-friendly practices. Over time, intensive ecosystem services that increase and stabilize plant yields will increase the economic value of farm products and the competitiveness of farms. Therefore, we will have clean air, soil, water, food products, stronger self-regulation of pests, diseases and climate change, pollination of outdoor plants, aesthetic, recreation, etc. functions.
