This applies, for example, to the creation of beneficial insect strips to subdivide large fields. In this way, a goal often pursued by farmers for decades\u2014to create the largest possible monoculture areas\u2014is reinterpreted and changed in favor of positive factors for biodiversity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner limit_content=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;107957&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#cadfb8&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;404522&#8243;]The pilot project ensured an improved understanding of the value and background of various perennial flowering mixtures. Since farm managers can decide anew each year whether they wish to plow them up or not, many are willing to wait a little longer even as weeds progress, which meant the measure offered an advantage in its high flexibility.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner limit_content=&#8221;&#8221;][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; column_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;128241&#8243; back_color_type=&#8221;uncode-solid&#8221; back_color_solid=&#8221;#e4efdb&#8221;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;yes&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;223245&#8243;]As part of the wild bee monitoring, 33 wild bee species were documented for the first time in Saarland. In addition to checking the effect of perennial flowering areas on the wild bee fauna, the monitoring thus made a decisive contribution to recording regional diversity.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; content_parallax=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;127023&#8243;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;102776&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;132869&#8243;]Contact[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;234559&#8243;]<strong>Nestl\u00e9 Germany<\/strong><br \/>\nPress office: presse@de.nestle.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>Global Nature Fund<\/strong><br \/>\nJenja Kronenbitter: kronenbitter@globalnature.org[\/vc_column_text][vc_button button_color=&#8221;accent&#8221; border_width=&#8221;0&#8243; link=&#8221;url:%2Fen%2Fpilot-projects%2F|title:Pilot%20Projects|&#8221; button_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;641108&#8243;]Back to overview[\/vc_button][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Improving biodiversity in wheat cultivation in Bliesgau (Saarland) by applying the basic set of biodiversity criteria.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2211,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"portfolio_category":[65],"class_list":["post-2667","portfolio","type-portfolio","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","portfolio_category-pilot-projects"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/2667","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/portfolio"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2667"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio\/2667\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2211"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2667"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"portfolio_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/food-biodiversity.de\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/portfolio_category?post=2667"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
