| Im Projekt «Mit Vielfalt punkten – Bauern beleben die Natur» (MVP) war das Jahr 2015 von Feldarbeiten geprägt. Zum letzten Mal wurden auf 47 Betrieben ökologische Daten erhoben. Es waren die gleichen Betriebe die schon 2009 und 2012 besucht wurden, und von denen die Hälfte im ersten Jahr ökologisch beraten wurde. Die Kontrolle und Verarbeitung der Felddaten zum Vorkommen von Pflanzen, Heuschrecken, Tagfaltern, Vögeln und Lebensräumen ist zurzeit im vollen Gange. Die Auswertungen im kommenden Jahr werden zeigen, ob sich die ökologische Beratung und die von den Landwirten in der Zwischenzeit umgesetzten Massnahmen messbar positiv auf die Biodiversität ausgewirkt haben. Im Projekt-Teil «Sozio-Ökonomie» wurden 16 Landwirtinnen und Landwirte erneut interviewt.... |

| Gardens have effects on the local ecology as well as on the wellbeing of the gardener, but few studies have attempted to study gardens using both ecological and social outcome variables. The aim of this exploratory study is to address this research gap by identifying the characteristics of gardens and the management practices of gardeners that enhance the outcomes of gardening, which we separate into three dimensions: human wellbeing, biodiversity, and soil quality. Data were collected from 18 gardens in Zurich, Switzerland and a typology of gardeners was dentified,which included ‘conservationist’, ‘functional’, ‘minimumeffort’, ‘child-friendly’, and ‘aesthetic’ gardeners. |

| Methods For Understanding Learning And Innovation Networks To Support Transition Towards Sustainable Agriculture – The Approach Of The EU Research Project SOLINSA Transition to sustainable agriculture can be seen as radical innovation, which is driven by various factors. The EU research project SOLINSA looks at the particular role that Learning and Innovation Networks for Sustainable Agriculture (LINSA) play in bringing about change. LINSAs respond to the demand for agriculture in transition by developing new intermediary tasks and roles and involving new actors and institutions into alliances for objectives that contribute to sustainability. Acting at the boundaries of established policy networks, LINSAs connect different policy authorities to... |

| Dramatically increasing urbanization is observable worldwide and brings pressure on space within urban areas as the built environment intensifies. Considerable evidence suggests that contact with nature is important for city dwellers, although it is not known whether residents’ appreciation of the forms of urban green spaces is constant across different contexts. More specifically, it has not yet been shown whether our appreciation of nature is innate and inherently human, is cultural and something that we learn, or is a mixture of both. This article describes an exploratory study consisting of 17 interviews carried out in Zurich, Switzerland. Kelly’s repertory grid technique is used to identify preferred urban landscapes, which were contrasted with... |

| The cocoa swollen shoot virus disease is a major factor limiting cocoa (Theobroma cacao L.) productivity for West African farmers. The only treatment against this disease is to cut infected trees and replant with disease-free planting material. Research has recommended the prevention measures: (i) cordon sanitaire (leaving 10-m-wide cocoa-free zone around cocoa), (ii) barrier cropping, (iii) using partly tolerant hybrids, and (iv) removing specific alternative host tree species. Here, we evaluate the current adoption of these measures and identify their adoption constraints. We conducted a quantitative survey with 396 farmers in the Eastern and Western Regions of Ghana, held six focus group discussions and hosted a multi-stakeholder validation workshop... |

| Im Jahr 2013 wurden im Rahmen des Projektes „Mit Vielfalt punkten“ (MVP) plangemäss erstmals keine Feldarbeiten durchgeführt. Deshalb lag der Schwerpunkt bei den Auswertungen und Publikationen. Je eine Publikation ist bereits gedruckt (Jenny et al. 2013) beziehungsweise akzeptiert (Home et al.), zwei weitere Manuskripte sind weit fortgeschritten und können demnächst in wissenschaftlich renommierten Zeitschriften eingereicht werden. Die Arbeiten zum „Handbuch“ liefen ebenfalls auf Hochtouren. In diesem Handbuch sollen die Erfahrungen aus dem Projekt so aufbereitet werden, dass sie von den Landwirten auf ihren Betrieben umgesetzt werden können. Im Jahr 2012 wurden auf den 48 Betrieben erneut Tagfalter, Heuschrecken und Vögel kartiert. Die Hälfte dieser... |

| Im Projekt „Mit Vielfalt punkten – Bauern beleben die Natur“ erforschten und erprobten das FiBL und die Vogelwarte Sempach seit 2009 Massnahmen und Instrumente, um die Biodiversität auf Landwirtschaftsbetrieben wirksam zu fördern. Es hat sich gezeigt, dass die Produktion von Nahrungsmitteln sehr wohl mit der Erhaltung und Förderung der Biodiversität vereinbar ist, ja sogar ökonomische Vorteile bringen kann. An der Schlussveranstaltung vom 30. Juni 2017 wurden die wichtigsten Resultate einem breiteren Publikum vorgestellt und deren Stellenwert für die Weiterentwicklung nachhaltiger Produktions- und Ernährungssysteme mit Akteuren aus Verwaltung, Politik und Markt beleuchtet und diskutiert. |

| This is a pre-print of an article published in Urban Ecosystems. The final authenticated version is available online at: https://doi.org/10.1007/s11252-018-0806-2. The aim of this exploratory study is to address this research gap by identifying the characteristics of gardens and the management practices of gardeners that enhance the outcomes of gardening, which we separate into three dimensions: human wellbeing, biodiversity, and soil quality. Data were collected from 18 gardens in Zurich, Switzerland and a typology of gardeners was identified, which included ‘conservationist’, ‘functional’, ‘minimum effort’, ‘child-friendly’, and ‘aesthetic’ gardeners. The conservationist gardeners were found to have, on average, the highest species richness in their... |

| High quality organic market data is desirable and important for both economic and societal reasons. Currently, important market data do not exist in most European countries, standardization is missing and data are seldom comparable within one country over time and between countries. Furthermore, detailed information on specific commodities is missing. The goals of this report are to identify the needs and demands of end users of organic market data, and to find areas of information asymmetry, which involves undertaking an appraisal of the quality of the existing available data that is used. However, many different data collection methods are currently used and the variety of agencies collecting data in the various European countries mean that gaining a... |

| • Mobile-phone videos could be accessed by people with limited or no contact with information sources, such as younger women, and video based information was found to be understandable for illiterate farmers. • The use of video on mobile phones is a novel approach to farmer-to-farmer exchange and has great potential for enhancing dissemination programs or specific research and development projects to enable more resilient, inclusive and democratic agricultural information systems. • Of the farmers who had watched one of the videos (N = 148), 60.1 % had adopted at least one of the videos’ innovations. • Farmers who received the videos on their mobile phones shared them via Bluetooth with an average of 6 other farmers, quickly expanding their outreach. |
