BioMonitor4CAP
DLG Podcast Deep Dive Episode 4 – Follow us from science to policy
The BioMonitor4CAP project focuses on innovative biodiversity monitoring in agricultural landscapes, combining established indicator systems with new technological approaches. But reliable data are only the first step. To make biodiversity-friendly farming work in practice, scientific evidence needs to be connected with farm management, incentives and agricultural policy.
In Episode 4, we follow the path from science to policy and explore how biodiversity is integrated into the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). Together with Antonia Lütteken from the European Commission’s Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development, Vitaliy Krupin from IRWIR PAN discusses what biodiversity policy needs to achieve, how biodiversity can be measured at farm and landscape level, and what can help farmers adopt biodiversity-friendly practices.
In this episode Vitaliy Krupin from the project partner IRWiR PAN – Institute of Rural and Agricultural Development at the Polish Academy of Sciences, and our guest Antonia Lütteken from the European Commission, DG Agriculture and Rural Development discuss:
- How biodiversity is currently integrated into the Common Agricultural Policy
- Which CAP instruments can support biodiversity on farms
- Which economic and political obstacles remain
- And what should change in the future?
