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.

Mz Borg works on the design of integrated horticultural production systems by combining model-based design methods (with the team modellers) and prototyping methods (with experts from research, technical institutes, experimental stations and with producers). She also contributes to characterise the decision rules of growers for orchard management and she analyses agronomic performances of these orchards.
