"Farming success is more than yield. It is quality of life, the safety of ecosystem services, habitat and wildlife conservation, and the vibrancy of a close-knit community." says Sophie Petit, co-researcher at the University of South Australia. A new study has shown that trust and cohesion between farmers and the local council, as well as access to information about natural resource management, are critical to protecting native #biodiversity. Do we have to choose between protecting biodiversity and producing more food, or is there a way to do both? Find out in the article below.
