Enhancing Biodiversity in Agroecosystems for Ecosystem Restoration and Economic Benefits

This document examines how native plant species diversity can enhance biodiversity in agroecosystems through natural landscape elements like field strips and point features. These elements provide habitat and shelter for insects, birds, and wildlife, support migration, and strengthen ecosystem services. By integrating locally sourced species into sustainable and organic farming, the approach improves pest and disease regulation, pollination, soil and water quality, and crop yields. The result is increased economic value and market competitiveness of farm products, contributing to food security and climate resilience. Funded by the European Union and accessible via EU-FarmBook.
