La Fundación Global Nature (España), Global Nature Fund, la Fundación del Lago de Constanza, Agentur AUF! (Alemania), Solagro, agence good (Francia) y el Instituto Superior Técnico (Portugal) desarrollando el proyecto europeo LIFE “Biodiversidad en Estándares y Etiquetas en la Industria Agroalimentaria”. El principal objetivo es mejorar los aspectos relacionados con la biodiversidad de estándares y etiquetas del sector agroalimentario, apoyando a organizaciones diversas para que incluyan criterios de biodiversidad en sus estándares y promoviendo que las empresas productoras y distribuidoras incluyan dichos criterios en sus guías de aprovisionamiento.

Sustainability in Global Agriculture Driven by Organic Farming
Governments should only support agricultural systems that provide healthy food, minimize environmental impact and enable producers to earn a decent living. 11 international experts argue in the renowned scientific journal Nature Sustainability that organic agriculture has moved out of its niche and is now playing an important role in getting our food and agriculture systems right.
Plant diversity increases insect diversity
The more plant species live in grasslands and forests, the more insect species find a habitat there. However, the presence of more plant species does not only increase the number of insect species, but also the number of insect individuals. Simultaneously, animal diversity is not only determined by plant diversity, but also by the physical structure of the plant communities.
New Pathways for Sustainable Agriculture
Diversity beats monotony: a colourful patchwork of small, differently used plots can bring advantages to agriculture and nature. This is the result of a new study by the University of Würzburg.
