Crynodeb
- The diversity of life – genetic, species and habitat diversity – is a critical resource, which is under threat. In an agricultural context, the functions provided by biodiversity are particularly important (e.g. biomass production, pollination, predation as a natural means of pest control, decomposition, etc.). Yet, not much is known about farmland biodiversity and how it is sustained.
- We developed a toolbox consisting of 23 indicators addressing all components of farmland biodiversity as well as management practices. The indicators were tested in 15 case study regions in Europe and in Africa. -- We propose that 0.25 % of the budget for European agricultural subsidies is diverted to monitoring of continental farmland biodiversity and adaptation of the toolbox for application beyond Europe.
- Guidebooks to indicator measurement and interpretation, including an extended summary in twelve languages, are available at www.biobio-indicator.org.
