Join CBIO for the second webinar in this new biodiversity series, where a closer look at how biodiversity can be understood is taken within the reality of modern agriculture — and the pressures today’s farming systems place on ecosystems. 

Agriculture is often assumed to have a negative impact on biodiversity in arable landscapes. But how do we assess biodiversity in these settings in a meaningful way that captures spatio-temporal changes at local and landscape levels? And can farming practices such as crop diversification actually enhance biodiversity—both in terms of species richness and the functional resilience of agro-ecosystems?
