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.
WP1 (Coordination and Communication) will coordinate the project, securing interactions with the Commission, building strong communication within the consortium and ensuring the timely delivery of outputs to achieve impact. WP1 will also play a leading role in extending the reach of FRAMEwork, developing a communication strategy to ensure the coordination of project activities with other active research projects and build partnerships with other initiatives (e.g. see ‘Positioning’ statement of section 1.3) promoting agro-ecological approaches to sustainability. WP1 will ensure that a fully ethical approach is adhered to throughout the project and that all aspects will be compliant with EU and member state regulations.
