This funding opportunity supports projects that improve farmland bird and mammal populations to strengthen food production systems. Research should synthesize impacts of farming practices on biodiversity and productivity, develop participatory programs with stakeholders, and design incentives and education to promote sustainable, bird- and mammal-friendly agriculture. The goal is to balance ecosystem services with crop protection for resilient, biodiversity-rich farming landscapes.
Applicants must comply with proposal page limits and layout, be from eligible countries as defined in the Horizon Europe Work Programme, and apply a multi-actor approach involving farmers, land managers, and conservationists. Financial and operational capacity criteria also apply.
