Biodiversity actions at scale – inspiring examples from Member States
This briefing presents a selection of examples of initiatives that promote collaborative biodiversity action on farmland beyond the single farm, as shared by members of the Thematic Group on Enhancing Biodiversity on Farmland for Improved Resilience.
- 2023-2027
This briefing presents a selection of examples of initiatives that promote collaborative biodiversity action on farmland beyond the single farm. These initiatives have been shared by members of the EU CAP Networks’ Thematic Group (TG) on Enhancing Biodiversity on Farmland for Improved Resilience and are funded from a range of sources, including the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and other EU funds (e.g. LIFE, Interreg, Horizon Europe), as well as funding sources such as foundations and national funding.
The majority of the examples are from initiatives that support the management of farmland for biodiversity purposes. However, at the end of the document, a small number of other examples are included of initiatives exploring other means of stimulating biodiversity action at scale, such as via market signals or the use of biodiversity credits. The purpose of this briefing is to give a flavour of the range of initiatives that are happening in different parts of the EU to provide inspiration to others – it is by no means a comprehensive list.
The TG also formulated a number of policy recommendations, summarised in the report of the 2nd TG meeting, which concern biodiversity scheme design, implementation and monitoring, communication and capacity building.
Inspiring examples of biodiversity initiatives - at farm and landscape scale - are available in the good practice database and other related publications listed further below on this page.
