How to value ecosystem services through the CAP - A Stakeholder-Workshop
As the EIP-AGRI Network has become part of the EU CAP Network, this website will no longer be updated after 1 April 2023. It will remain available in a static form as a reference of all previous EIP-AGRI activities. All interactive features such as the login, the main search function of the website, and the advanced filtering of the databases (e.g. project database and collaborative areas) will no longer be available. You will find all the new and up-to-date information on the EU CAP Network website.

In the European Biodiversa-funded project SoilMan we are analyzing the inter-connections between soil biodiversity, agriculture management systems and economic consequences of changes in policy and practice. Soil biodiversity plays a crucial role in cropland for delivering key ecosystem services, i.e. plant nutrient availability, plant health, water quality and infiltration, carbon sequestration. We would like to identify pathways how to foster benefits from soil organisms in agriculture production and how to positively influence soil-dependant ecosystem services in quantity and quality by shaping future political and agronomic decisions.
Therefore it is of utmost importance for us to gather stakeholders' input at an early stage of the SoilMan project. Together with you we would like to identify ways how to provide incentives to farmers to adjust their farming practices in order to enhance the provision of ecosystem services. Without an EU dedicated soil legislation in place and biodiversity legislation strongly focusing on above-ground habitats and species, the upcoming reform of the CAP may be used amongst other targets to foster soil protection.
You are cordially invited to discuss options and obstacles with us for a better recognition of the value of soil biota driven ecosystem services benefiting farmers and society as a whole.
