Introducing Growing Biodiversity — the project's legacy YouTube channel

Project officially launches YouTube Channel to support legacy dissemination

Throughout H2020 FRAMEwork, video has played a central role in connecting our project's actors and audiences across Europe - from short documentaries filmed on farms to expert-led webinars on biodiversity policy and practice. For most of the project's lifetime, these videos were hosted via Taskscape's Vimeo, embedded across the project website and knowledge hub, Recodo, and shared at cluster events and via social media. They received thousands of views and helped foster a sense of a broader European farmer cluster movement, providing entry points for discussion on shared ecological challenges.

As part of the project's legacy offer, Taskscape has launched Growing Biodiversity - a dedicated YouTube channel designed to keep this media content freely available and accessible to the widest possible audience.

Although the project's original media strategy was not deliberately optimised for YouTube, the channel has performed well since its soft launch on 1 May 2025, attracting over 20,000 views and more than 500 subscribers by the end of 2025. While modest, the project is pleased that this sits well above averages for similar Horizon Europe initiatives at this scale. YouTube Shorts have proven particularly effective, offering quick snapshots of activity and opinions across the project, while longer webinar recordings have drawn viewers looking for deeper engagement with the science and policy behind biodiversity-sensitive farming.

What Can I Find on the Channel?

Beyond YouTube shorts, the channel is organised into five playlists, each offering a different window into the project's work.

• On the Ground features short documentaries in farmer clusters across Europe, showing how biodiversity measures, community engagement and scientific monitoring help farmers build resilient ecosystems.

  
  

• Video Abstracts makes academic research accessible, covering topics from biological pest control and habitat connectivity to biodiversity recovery and climate adaptation through nature-based solutions.

  
  

• Big-Picture Thinking brings together expert-led webinars exploring the intersection of agricultural policy and biodiversity — from EU Common Agricultural Policy reform and the UK's Environmental Land Management schemes to green finance, natural capital markets and decision tools.

  
  

• Tools for Progress introduces the digital resources available on Recodo, including the FRAMEwork Data Hub, FEAST for spatial mapping and landscape analysis, and FRAMEtest for evaluating farm-level biodiversity measures in transition contexts.

  
  

• Behind the Scenes documents milestones in the project, from our first in-person meeting in Luxembourg to key knowledge exchange visits in Spain and England.

You can explore the playlists above in the media section of the FRAMEwork website, or access the full channel Growing Biodiversity on YouTube.

Whether you're a researcher, a farmer, a policy maker, or simply interested in the future of sustainable land management there's something there for you!
