A team from Osnabrück and the Czech University of Life Sciences represent the project at the LANDSCAPE Conference.
The 17th-19th September saw the third LANDSCAPE Conference take place in Berlin, for “anyone interested in the future of agriculture and the role of technological innovations and actors in driving sustainable change”.
This year’s conference looked to the future of agriculture, and the role of technology and actors in bringing about that future, with its theme: “Agroecosystems in Transformation: Visions, Technologies and Actors”. Discussions were focussed on the synergies and trade-offs between different environmental goals such as preserving biodiversity, adapting to climate change, conserving soils and their functions, and reducing chemical inputs.
FRAMEwork Insights Shared
Happily, representatives of FRAMEwork from our partner organisations Czech University of Life Sciences (CZU) and University of Osnabrück (UO) were able to attend and share their FRAMEwork research.
As part of a session on “coordination and collaboration in AES at landscape level”, Iris Bohnet (CZU) shared the research she is working on alongside a team of FRAMEwork project participants. Her presentation was titled: “Farmer Clusters for transitioning to biodiversity sensitive farming across Europe – Insights from the FRAMEwork project”.
Thomas Rellensmann (UO) presented his work on "Combined result-based and collective agri-environmental schemes for landscape-scale benefits" in a session about collective payments.
Moritz Fritschle (UO) organised a session called "Farmers’ decisions towards biodiversity friendly landscapes” alongside Kati Häfner from conference organiser ZALF. For this, he was joined by members of our sister project SHOWCASE to introduce SHOWCASE and FRAMEwork. Moritz also gave a presentation about the “Influence of behavioural economic factors on farmers' preferences for attributes of agri-environment programs: Evidence from Discrete Choice Experiments".
We caught up with Moritz, who said:
"Presenting our joint research results to an interdisciplinary audience together with colleagues from our sister project SHOWCASE is a great pleasure for me, as we were able to get to know the connections between our research and present results to an interdisciplinary audience together.”
Iris agreed, saying:
“Landscape 2024 provided a great forum to present FRAMEwork results to an international audience, network with colleagues, and learn about the concerted research efforts conducted to achieve landscape scale improvements in agro-biodiversity.”
LANDSCAPE is organised by Leibniz Centre for Agricultural Landscape Research (ZALF), an NGO delivering solutions for an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable agriculture – together with society. ZALF conduct integrated systems research and develop sustainable crop systems; you can read more about their work in FELD magazine.
