Improving biodiversity in agriculture: IUSF participates in large-scale EU project.
Dramatic losses of biodiversity are also attributable to the way land is managed and the extent to which it is managed. The EU-funded project "FRAMEwork" aims to develop an approach in which farmers work together to improve biodiversity on European farmland in the long term. The environmental economists Prof. Dr. Stefanie Engel and Dr. Fabian Thomas, both from the Research Center Institute for Environmental Systems Research at the University of Osnabrück, are taking on an important sub-project to design incentives for farmers to participate in collaborative activities to increase biodiversity.
