Assessing the impacts of agricultural activities on biodiversity : analysis of assessment methods

Le résumé de la journéeThis issu follows on from the Carrefour de l'innovation agronomique, forum dedicated to Grazing livestock : the contribution of biodiversity, from soils to landscapes event that took place on 12 December 2024 at the Institut Agro in Rennes, France. It provide an update on knowledge and feedback showing the trajectories of agroecological livestock farms that make the most of wild and domestic biodiversity and the interactions between them. The development of agroecological practices is necessary to adapt agri-food systems to climate change and its impacts, and to mitigate their environmental impact. Biodiversity has been identified as a key factor in the sustainability of farming systems in their environmental ecosystems, combining the genetic diversity of domestic species with that of wild species. This Agronomic Innovation Forum will present results on domestic biodiversity in herbivore farming and the environmental biodiversity impacted and mobilised, from the scale of soils to that of landscapes.
