Biodiversity on farmland: "Good management practices: A report on three years' research on the enhancement of biodiversity on farmland

Abstract

This booklet is produced for New Zealand farmers and other land owners to demonstrate how biodiversity can be enhanced to give multi-value benefits for production, conservation, recreation, historical, cultural, aesthetic and Maori needs. It is an outcome of the “Strategies to Enhance Biodiversity on Mixed Cropping Farms” project (1999 – 2003), funded by the Ministry for the Environment (MfE) Sustainable Management Fund. The project was run in conjunction with the Selwyn Sustainable Agriculture Society Inc. (SSAS) and key partners Lincoln University, Heinz Wattie’s Ltd. and Agriculture New Zealand.
