3 For a start... Seite 3 Nature conservation benefits, such as biodiversity, are not only a concern of politics but are also increasingly demanded by food producing firms Most of conservation aims have to be implemented on the farm level But: Farmers are not prepared for this task and Agri-environmental measures often do not bear in mind specific requirements of agricultural holdings. Solution: A Software for the management and assessment of nature conservation benefits, that provides aims and incentives, but also more scope for farmers own decisions.
