Farm4bio farm-scale management of uncropped land for biodiversity
|
Although the intensity of arable land use will vary with commodity prices, it is important to continue to support farmland biodiversity. All arable farms have areas that are inconvenient to cultivate but, if managed appropriately, they could provide refuges for biodiversity.

|
Project Aim: To determine whether simple cost effective management practices for uncropped land can deliver significant and measurable increases in biodiversity on mainstream arable farms.
