A new network of EU Rural Development expertise took further shape during the European Commission's conference on Farming for Biodiversity, organised on 17 October 2019, in Brussels, Belgium.
The results-based approach has been recognised as a promising avenue to enhance the effectiveness of biodiversity measures in farmland. Fourteen Member States are already active in this useful field, which results in tangible biodiversity benefits for EU citizens as well as improved flexibility for farmers.
