On September 24, 2024, Prof. Dr. Sebastian Lakner from the University of Rostock visited the BAB and gave a lecture on the topic “Integration of biodiversity in agriculture - findings on causes and options for action”. Prof. Lakner highlighted the economic situation of biodiversity-promoting agricultural practices, as well as the risks of losing extensive grassland to abandonment or intensification. Prof. Lakner reported on his current research on the conservation of agricultural land with high-quality biodiversity and pointed out the crucial role of appropriate support measures and expert advice in the implementation of biodiversity-promoting management options. This was followed by a lively discussion on implementation options and challenges in the Austrian context.
