Project releases research revealing how payment structures can be designed to encourage landscape-scale conservation outcomes when combined with collective farmer action. Financial incentives are fundamental to encouraging farmers to adopt biodiversity-friendly management practices at meaningful landscape scales. FRAMEwork has released a comprehensive experimental report investigating how result-based payments can be structured most effectively to support agrobiodiversity con

Project-funded study presents evidence showing that collective contracts with result-based payments enhance conservation efforts compared to individual schemes FRAMEwork research has been published in SSRN demonstrating that result-based payments combined with collective contracts enhance conservation efforts in agri-environmental schemes. Economic experiments conducted with farmers in Germany reveal that collective structures can overcome barriers to adoption of outcome-focu

Project publishes working paper showing that group-based results-based payments significantly outperform individual schemes FRAMEwork has published a working paper by Rellensmann, Engel, Rommel and Thomas at consortium partner The University of Onsnabruck - examining a fundamental question for biodiversity conservation and sustainable agriculture: are results-based agri-environment payments more effective when designed for farmer groups rather than individuals?
