Enhancing biodiversity on agricultural lands

This operation is designed to support the development of viable agro-ecological systems based on access to healthy plant materials in order to maintain and strengthen biodiversity enhancement. So this operation will make it possible to inventory, assess, produce and disseminate healthy plant material to limit the spread of biological pests. In addition, developing agro-ecological infrastructures (service plants: refuge plants for auxiliaries, green fertilisers, nectar plants) helps limit the use of inputs (pesticides, fertiliser), maintain biodiversity and, in that way, improve farm production’s quantity and quality. The regional component will make it possible to identify the different OCTs’ biosecurity requirements and provide a structure for seed bank and nursery workers.
