Background, policy relevance and aim Background A growing human population and higher per-capita consumption rates of food and bio-energy call for a strong increase of agricultural production globally. Maintaining high agricultural production through intensive conventional agriculture with its reliance on agro-chemical inputs, however, threatens the long-term sustainability of agriculture and co

Identifying the relevant spatial scales to increase agricultural production by managing ecosystem services In order to enhance agricultural production by promoting ecosystem services, we need to know which management strategy affect ecosystem services at what spatial scale. It has been demonstrated that biodiversity can enhance agricultural production through delivery of supporting and regulating

Identifying trade-offs and synergies between delivery of cultural and regulating/supporting ecosystem services The ecosystem services approach offers a promising framework for solving the two apparently conflicting goals in European agricultural policy of securing sustainable food production while not compromising the role of farmland for conservation of biodiversity and production of public goods

Optimizing the value of ecosystem services and public goods generated by farmers through coordinated land-use management Managing ecosystem services and public goods in agricultural landscapes is challenging since these landscapes emerge from the land-use decisions of thousands of individual farmers. Typically, ecosystem services of potential benefit to farmers such as pollination and biocontrol a

Land-use conflicts and impacts on agricultural development trajectories in different rural areas In WP4 we will evaluate how policies that aim at enhancing ecosystem services and public goods affect agricultural development and the economic performance of farms. This will complement the analysis of WP3 about the environmental and societal impacts of such measures. In particular, we will analyse ho
