Biodiversity and ecosystem services in relation to agriculture
ILVO together with UGent investigated the link between landscape and functional agrobiodiversity with the help of citizen scientists and their 40 square-meter gardens in the citizen science project BEL-Landschap (2018 and 2019).
Landscape-scale biodiversity under pressure The diversity of biological life (biodiversity) in the agricultural landscape is under pressure. Intensification of agriculture in the recent past has led at the field level to economies of scale and increased use of fertilizers and pesticides, among others.

FABulous Farmers employ Functional Agrobiodiversity as a nature-based solution to reduce use of natural and material resources, delivering benefits for farmers, society and the environment in the NWE.
Main research questionFABulous Farmers (where FAB stands for Functional Agrobiodiversity) stimulates farmers to transition towards more agro-ecological practices on their farm. The project is active in in 5 countries (BE, NL, LUX, FR & UK) in a total of 12 pilot regions.
