Contribution to wider strategies and policies:

  • The European Green Deal and its farm to fork strategy treat agriculture as more than an economic sector: it also contributes to sustainability goals such as social well-being, ecosystem health, and food and nutrition security. DivGrass will show pathways for agriculture's contribution to biodiversity increase, resonsible consumption and production (SDG12) and more climate resilient grassland in the North Sea Region.
  • The EU's biodiversity long-term strategy for 2030 is meant to protect nature and reverse the degradation of ecosystems, to get Europe's biodiversity on recovery by 2030 with specific actions and commitments. The project objective of DivGrass is 100% consistent with this EU stratgy.
  • The Strategy for Shaping Europe's Digital Future will help improve Europe's ability to predict extreme weather patterns, assess the impact of climate change and respond to environmental disasters. DivGrass is also taking advantage of AI and digitalisation, which are already available at affordable prices and can also be used by technically minded people without major hurdles. The DivGrass AI algorithm and app will contribute to a much more effective and time-saving biodiversity monitoring.
  • DivGrass actively contributes to priorities of the Territorial Agenda 2030: e.g. sustainable development and climate change, loss of biodiversity and land consumption, nature, landscape and cultural heritage and working across national borders.
  • DivGrass implements the four priority areas of the North Sea Region 2030 Strategy on a productive & sustainable, a climate neutral, a connected and a smart north sea region. DivGrass will also strive for a lively exchange with the NSC and involve the relevant representatives as much as possible in the project events.
  • The Farm to Fork Strategy encourages especially farmers to start experiments with new foods, products, services, and business and therefore opening opportunities for change. Regional authorities and politicians are in the focus too ,setting up new and improved governance models. DivGrass contributes to Rethinking Agriculture in the field of ecoysstem services for European Grassland Management.
