On November 14th, LIFE IP All4Biodiversity is organising the webinar ‘Collaboration with farmers – uniting viable farming practices with nature conservation’. This session is intended for European LIFE IP partners and other interested stakeholders, with a strong focus on ‘learning from each other’.

What is it about?

LIFE IP All4Biodiversity aims to reduce external pressures on Natura 2000 areas by enhancing the basic quality of nature in the surrounding transition zones and the landscape beyond. In various pilots across the Netherlands, promising measures and best practices are being identified, instruments such as quickscans are developed, and knowledge is gathered in the Toolbox for Biodiversity. Collaboration with farmers plays a crucial role in this. Additionally, other LIFE programs are also working to bridge the gap between agriculture and nature.

In this webinar, several LIFE IP programmes will share their findings in their search to improve nature quality in and around Natura 2000 areas and beyond, whilst providing a viable and practical business model for farmers.

• LIFE IP Natureman (Denmark): The farmer as a manager of nature

• LIFE IP GrassBirdHabitats (Germany & Netherlands): Building payment blocks for meadow bird farmers

• FARM LIFE (Netherlands & Belgium): Adaptive farm plans for profitable agroforestry through farmer-driven co-creation

• LIFE IP All4Biodiversity (Netherlands): Developing and compiling best practices, instruments and knowledge in an online toolbox for biodiversity

As a partner of LIFE IP All4Biodiversity, BoerenNatuur (“FarmersNature”) will also share their approach on how they enhance cooperation among farmers to improve biodiversity and environmental management in agricultural landscapes, together with Dutch agricultural collectives.

Date and location

The webinar will take place online on November 14th from 1:30 PM to 4:30 PM (CEST) via MS Teams. After registration, you will receive a Teams link several weeks prior to the webinar.
