New Publications Showcase the Power of Citizen Science in Nature Management... Still from a video below by the Bill Sutherland’s Conservation Concepts YouTube channel A new project-supported reports from FRAMEwork partner NORDECO explores how local knowledge and citizen engagement are informing conservation practices across the Arctic In an era where environmental challenges demand innovative solutions, two publications from our partner NORDECO, co-authored by project partic

A new collection of policy briefs and practice abstracts from the FRAMEwork project sets out evidence-based recommendations on incentives, farmer engagement, and practical tools for cluster development. The FRAMEwork project has published a new report, Summary information notes and policy briefs, which brings together five outputs from the project's work on farmer behaviour and incentives (Work Package 6). The collection is aimed at policymakers, farm advisors, facilitators,

FRAMEwork has released landscape complementation models showing how habitat configuration optimises natural pest control, pollination and other ecosystem services across farmed landscapes FRAMEwork has published a report exploring how different habitats and resources scattered across farmed landscapes work together to support wildlife. Landscape complementation is based on a simple observation about species ecology: many species cannot find everything they need in a single ha

A new project policy brief reveals that almost 100% of surveyed farmers preferred contracts offering the option for collaborative landscape-scale conservation A new project policy brief shares findings that nearly all European farmers surveyed as part of FRAMEwork prefer agri-environmental contracts offering the option to join a farmer cluster or equivalent group. A discrete choice experiment with 761 farmers presented hypothetical five-year contracts requiring six-metre fiel

Two key members of the FRAMEwork project recently featured on "The Lisa Burke Show" in Luxembourg, for an insightful discussion about citizen science initiatives, and the role of farmer clusters and their communities in achieving better understanding and support for biodiversity.

Project releases best-practice guidelines for establishing collaborative farm business groups, drawn from the UK’s Farmer Cluster network and experience expanding the concept into mainland Europe. FRAMEwork has now published a complete set of guidelines for establishing Advanced Farmer Clusters—structured groups of neighbouring farm businesses coordinating landscape-scale biodiversity efforts with supporting stakeholders. The guidelines draw on lessons from the UK’s successfu

Project publishes report examining how cluster participation strengthens environmental commitment among farming communities FRAMEwork has published a report examining how cluster participation reshapes farmer identity and influences biodiversity management. The study draws on qualitative interviews and quantitative surveys conducted across our Farmer Clusters, offering evidence of how group membership shapes environmental commitment and behaviour change. This research reveals

Get the low-down on the project's open-access Data Hub A new report shares how over the course of our project, expert scientists and citizen scientists working across 11 farmer clusters collected thousands of biodiversity observations — from bird and pollinator surveys to vegetation assessments and farm habitat data. A new report, Specialist indicators and farming systems data capture, describes how all of this data has been captured, catalogued, and made available through th

New project study presents FRAMEtest, a decision support tool using systems modelling to help land use decision makers explore sustainable scenarios Farmers need confidence that proposed changes will deliver results. FRAMEtest lets them explore management scenarios before committing to changes on their land. The tool simulates how interventions—hedgerow restoration, wildflower strips, reduced pesticides, organic conversion—would affect biodiversity, ecosystem services and far
