RCAB’s Jan Pokrivcak and Marian Toth have a successful cooperation with SOS/BirdLife. Together we prepared wholefarm ecoscheme that became an important part of the Strategic plan of the Slovak agropolicy. In this video, Jozef Ridzoň from SOS/BirdLife Slovakia discusses how agricultural policy can improve biodiversity and sustainability of farm production.
What new agropolicy brought for biodiversity?
It created suitable habitats for birds, pollinators, and insects in the bio-strips on arable land and meadows.
Monitoring shows that large parcels divided by bio-strips host more birds and pollinators than intensively farmed large agricultural plots without bio-strips.
It put together scientists, farmers, hunters, and environmentalists to create better interventions for food security, environment and climate.
