We preserve biodiversity. We are strengthening the guidelines for biodiversity protection in companies in the food industry. This means that nature is better protected along the supply chain. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Labels and standards do not take all important nature conservation requirements into account. As a result, important criteria for the conservation of biodiversity are not taken into account. <\/p>\n

In this project, we are developing recommendations for incorporating important criteria into existing standards and labels. We are developing a “Biodiversity Performance Tool” and applying it on 50 pilot farms. This tool records the status and potential for biodiversity on farms. <\/p>\n
