Summary

Given increasing recognition of the importance of agrobiodiversity in agricultural landscapes, we identify integrative, collaborative landscape-level planning as a promising approach to achieve more targeted adoption of diversified agro ecological measures. Specifically, the CLEAR project proposes a novel approach for landscape-level decision-making based on identifying links between diversification practices, agro ecological processes, and socioeconomic dynamics.

Our project aims to develop and apply an interdisciplinary methodological framework for data-based and stakeholder-relevant identification and evaluation of land management practices that can enhance agrobiodiversity. Our goal is to characterize, measure, and incentivize agrobiodiversity from field to landscape, and to develop fitting agro-environmental schemes to promote agrobiodiversity enhancement, including through collaborative landscape-level approaches. Our approach will be tested in four regional case studies in France, Germany, Poland and the UK.
