Biodiversity in agriculture: opportunities and challenges on January 24th!

On Friday, January 24th, a lecture entitled "Biodiversity and Agriculture in harmony and agriculture in the small cultural hall of the Limburgerhof town hall will find a lecture?" instead of. This informative evening is organized by the district group of the Nature Conservation Association (BUND) and is intended to shed light on the decreasing trend of biodiversity in the agricultural landscape. The speaker Christian Sponagel, research assistant at the University of Hohenheim with a research focus on economic-ecological modeling and the interactions between agricultural land use and environmental factors, will show the various influencing factors as well as the opportunities and challenges for sustainable agriculture. Rheinpfalz Exists how biodiversity can be used as a production factor in order to promote sustainable agricultural systems. Interested parties also have the opportunity to take part in the lecture online. Registrations are possible by email to rhein-pfalz-kreis@bundrlp.de.

biodiversity plays a central role in agriculture. It is crucial for the preservation of natural resources and promotes soil fertility and healthy harvesting. A diverse floor with a rich fauna and flora is therefore essential. As explained in an article by climate knowledge , biodiversity helps to regulate pests, improve soil quality and pollination of crops. When agricultural systems increase the variety of plant species, the use of chemical pesticides can be reduced, which leads to improved soil fertility.

insights into the protection of biodiversity

German development cooperation actively promotes the preservation of agricultural diversity by focusing on protection, sustainable use and restoration of natural resources. The support of the rural population in partner countries is particularly important to strengthen traditional, locally adapted agricultural and cattle breeding methods. The BMZ emphasizes that secure land rights are a prerequisite for sustainable developments in rural areas. This procedure strengthens the rights of farmers to maintain and distribute local seeds and support small farmers in plant breeding.

A central concern of sustainable agriculture is to combat the annihilation of monocultures and the intensification of agriculture that endanger biodiversity. The implementation of agricultural ecological principles and the creation of regional cycles can be promoted. Possible measures include creating flower strips, the use of cultural plants, mixed cultures and agricultural systems that are based on location, as are also listed in the analyzes of climate knowledge.

Overall, the various measures aim at a harmonious interaction between human action and natural processes to ensure sustainable agriculture that not only increases the income, but also ensures biodiversity. Key factors are the use of digital technologies and political framework, which are ultimately essential for the success of biodiversity in agriculture.
