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 releases comprehensive training materials combining peer learning, expert instruction and practical fieldwork developed through five years of cluster implementation across Europe FRAMEwork has published comprehensive training materials and documented training events that have prepared facilitators across Europe for the complex role of coordinating landscape-scale conservation. Cluster facilitators are linchpins in biodiversity management. They coordinate meetings, del

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

Project publishes report on farmer-led biodiversity monitoring, demonstrating how farmers as data partners strengthen both ecological knowledge and conservation decision-making. Monitoring biodiversity across European landscapes requires methods that are scientifically sound and practical for farmers to implement alongside regular farming operations. FRAMEwork has published its D3.2 report describing a comprehensive farmer-led monitoring methodology deliberately co-developed

A new project-funded study examines how RNAi technology offers species-specific pest control without harming beneficial insects RNA interference technology is emerging as a powerful tool for sustainable pest management in agriculture and conservation. RNAi works by silencing genes essential for pest survival, offering species-specific control that leaves beneficial organisms unharmed. The pharmaceutical industry has already validated the approach over 25 years of research, wi

New study in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment finds that internet search patterns mirror professional ornithological survey data A new project-funded study published in Environmental Monitoring and Assessment by Jensen, Danielsen and colleagues has found that Google Trends data correlates with professional bird survey results in Denmark. The paper demonstrates that when bird populations rise or fall, public search interest follows suit. For conservationists working in
