Objectives
• Create a toolbox of existing and innovative HNV farmland and forest measures to conserve and restore biodiversity and associated ecosystem services of HNV farmland and forests
• Assess the extent to which proposed biodiversity measures will have co-benefits/co-detriments for other ecosystem services
• Use statistical analysis and models to assess connectivity between HNV farmland and forest features to inform design of landscape scale/co-operative approaches to proposed measure implementation
• Provide recommendations for an integrated land use policy framework across HNV farmland and forest areas
Outcomes
• Potential Agri Environment Climate and biodiversity enhancement measures and assessment of impact of proposed enhancement measures on range of ecosystem services
• Recommendations for an integrated policy approach to conserving and restoring multi-functional HNV farmland and forests
