Biodiversity Management
Biodiversity Management refers to measures for the creation, protection or enhancement of habitats (e.g. creation of semi-natural habitats and biotope corridors) on the farm to support biodiversity. One proposed instrument to address biodiversity at farm level is the Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). These guidelines, presentations and fact sheets provide a comprehensive overview of possible biodiversity measures and the development of a BAP.

Action Fact Sheets
The Action Fact Sheets describe actions that help to create habitats and support biodiversity on the field. All measures presented were tested in the EU LIFE Food & Biodiversity project. Landscape elements and best practices are applicabale for all production systems. Some measures for crop production and permanent pastures apply in particular to the Mediterranean (M) and temperate regions (T)
