Summary

Background and objectives
- Agri-environment schemes (AES) aim to reverse the decrease in farmland biodiversity.
- The implemented AES did not result in a general increase in farmland biodiversity.
- There is a need of innovative tools to motivate farmers to enhance biodiversity on their farms.
- Objectives: (1) Develop a simple tool with which farmers can assess individual efforts for biodiversity on their farms. (2) Evaluate the effect of advisory support to optimize ecological and economical aspects for individual farms.
