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.

Dr Arne Janssen
University of Amsterdam (UVA) Institute for Biodiversity and Ecosystem Dynamics (IBED)
Ecologist
Dr Arne Janssen's main research interests are the effects of interactions in food webs of plant-inhabiting arthropods on population dynamics and the application of this knowledge to biological control of plant pests. His research largely focuses on the multiple interactions that occur between the different pest species and their biological control agents present on greenhouse crops. He has (co-)supervised 21 PhD students and supervised 6 post-docs and (co)authored more than 150 scientific publications.
