Mit Vielfalt punkten – Bauern beleben die Natur

A new initiative to enhance biodiversity on agricultural lands in Switzerland is presented. The initiative by the Research Institute of Organic Farming in Frick and the Swiss Ornithological Institute Sempach has two main goals: to develop and evaluate a new point system to assess the contribution of individual farms to biodiversity and to optimize the farm’s contribution to biodiversity by giving them consulting tailored to the farm’s specific settings.
Keywords: biodiversity, nature protection, consulting, agricultural policy, control of success.
