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.

More and more people are becoming aware of the pressing need to halt dramatic losses in biodiversity worldwide.
We're creating a
Biodiversity Sensitive Farming System to encourage and enable farmers to conserve biodiversity and
improve nutritional security in the face of climate change & disease pandemics.
In Europe, agriculture accounts for about 40% of land use - conserving farmland biodiversity is vital.
Loss of biodiversity is a local and global tragedy but there is also an urgent need for agriculture to feed a growing global population. Biodiversity helps deliver
productive agroecosystems and
affordable, nutritious, food.
Research
Advance ecological understanding of the drivers of biodiversity change in agricultural landscapes
Generate, with farmers, a selection of best-practice biodiversity-sensitive management techniques based on their local requirement
Output validated methods for biodiversity targeting, monitoring and evaluation
Create private and public incentives to foster biodiversity-sensitive farming as a public good
