In determining its advice to others about how future policy should be developed English Nature needs to have a good, science based, understanding of the impacts of different farming practices so that policies can be developed to effectively encourage practices that bring biodiversity benefits.
In the light of these requirements this report brings together previous research to examine the impact of a suite of practices often bundled under the descriptors Integrated Crop Management or Integrated Farm Management. The findings of the study are not comprehensive as the existing research leaves large gaps in our understanding of the impact of Integrated Farm Management, particularly on grassland and horticultural farms. Please note that there is a Research Information note associated with this report.
