Ecological infrastructure management

Summary

This VEGINECO method manual is one of a series of publications resulting from the VEGINECO project. VEGINECO specialises in producing tested and improved multi-objective farming methods for key farming practices – e.g. crop rotation, fertilisation and crop protection – to facilitate the integration of potentially conflicting objectives like economy and ecology. This report describes the process of developing a methodology for ecological infrastructure management. A prototyping methodology for determining the quantity and quality of nature on farms is presented and tested in different systems within the participating countries.
