The Agriculture and Biodiversity programme focuses on three main lines:
- To have its finger on the pulse: how is biodiversity evolving in the agricultural area? Where do we see further deterioration and where do we see improvement and why?
- To look for more opportunities for improvement: which positive practices benefit agriculture and biodiversity at the same time? We are looking at nature in agricultural areas as well as agriculture in nature areas.
- To support policy: based on its own findings and literature, the programme supports ongoing policy processes. As such, it works towards an effective Science Policy Interface.
Many INBO research teams participate in the programme. The programme is steered by the research teams Nature and Society and Nature Report and Advice Coordination.
