Ökonomische Bewertung der Integration temporärer Naturschutzmaßnahmen im Ökologischen Landbau - Beispiel Blühstreifen -

Summary

At the Hessian state domain Frankenhausen, an organic farm with comparatively high
yield potential, the integration of nature conservation measures is tested. Economic
investigations aim to identify costs and changes of performance due to the adaptation
of production processes to nature conservation targets. The main focus is on temporary
measures that, like field-flower strips, potentially promote biodiversity on arable
land. Initial calculations show the costs that must be taken into account for wildflower
strips with autochthonous species on arable land. The analysis particularly considers
the complex intra-farm integration of the conservation measures as a special characteristic
of organic agriculture systems.
