The global loss of biodiversity is one of the major environmental threats of our time (Rockstrom et al., 2009) and agriculture is one of the main drivers of the global biodiversity decline (Benton, 2007; Kleijn et al., 2009; Pereira et al., 2010). Agricultural landscapes were formerly rich in biodiversity, which has been attributed to mosaic style landscapes and low-intensity production systems that provided a wide variety of interlinked habitats (Edwards et al., 1999). Economic pressure has led to declining species richness as agricultural production has become more intensive (Robinson and Sutherland, 2002), with an associated reduction of habitat-providing landscape elements (Billeter et al., 2008). Despite the objective of promoting biodiversity, which... |

Agriculture is considered to be one of the main drivers for worldwide biodiversity loss but the impacts of agricultural production on biodiversity have not been extensively considered in Life Cycle Assessments (LCAs). Recent realisation that biodiversity impact should be included in comprehensive LCAs has led to attempts to develop and implement methods for biodiversity impact assessment. In this review, twenty-two different biodiversity impact assessment methods have been analysed to identify their strengths and weaknesses in terms of their comprehensiveness in the evaluation of agricultural products. Different criteria, which had to meet the specific requirements of biodiversity research, life cycle assessment methodology, and the evaluation of... |

Die Knospe gilt als Garant für eine nachhaltige Landwirtschaft. Doch wie nachhaltig wirtschaften die Knospe-Höfe tatsächlich,was läuft gut, wo gibt es Verbesserungspotential? Diesen Fragen gingen das FiBL und die SFS im Auftrag von Bio Suisse auf den Grund. Zum Einsatz kam dabei SMART (Sustainability Monitoring and Assessment RouTine), ein Instrument, welches das FiBL zur ganzheitlichen Nachhaltigkeitsanalyse und Bewertung von landwirtschaftlichen Betrieben und Lebensmittelunternehmen entwickelt hat. Die Bewertung beruht auf einer Betriebsbesichtigung und einem etwa zwei- bis dreistündigen Interview mit den Betriebsleitern zu verschiedenen für die Landwirtschaft relevanten Themenbereichen. Innerhalb von drei Jahren wurden so 185 Höfe auf ihre... |
