More and more people outside and inside academic specialisms are becoming aware of the pressing need to halt dramatic losses in biodiversity worldwide.
The EU H2020 project, FRAMEwork is mounting an ambitious response to these critical problems.
The project will create a Biodiversity Sensitive Farming System that will encourage and enable farmers to conserve biodiversity, promote a rebalancing of agriculture in a way
that capitalises on the value of native biodiversity, and
improve the capacity of farming to deliver food and
nutritional security in the face of climate change, disease pandemics and other pressures on the system.

Biodiversity loss caused by environmental modification including farming practices
Empowerment, recognition, blame
We all impact our environments.
How we all work and live adds up to huge effects.
Framework is putting pioneering farmers
first in the fight to conserve biodiversity.
Local groups benefit from the latest knowledge on science, regulation, tech & economic advantages
..forming rewarding new relationships with fellow farmers, their communities and their land.
We're working with farmer groups and other stakeholders in agricultural landscapes to develop a new
Biodiversity Sensitive Farming system...
...conserving biodiversity and improving nutritional security in the face of stresses like climate change, population increase
& disease pandemics.
