This ten-day program equips participants to assess pollination, soil health, and other ecosystem services, and to design farming practices that conserve agricultural biodiversity while sustaining long-term productivity.
Productive farming depends on ecosystem services that are often invisible until they fail: pollination, natural pest control, soil fertility, and water regulation. This ten-day course examines the relationship between agricultural biodiversity and these services, teaching participants to assess the state of biodiversity on a farm or landscape and to identify practices — from crop diversification to habitat conservation — that protect the ecological functions farming depends on. Participants study regional case studies where biodiversity loss has measurably reduced yields, alongside examples of biodiversity-friendly farming that sustained or improved production.
Practical sessions include conducting a simple on-farm biodiversity assessment, mapping ecosystem service dependencies for a specific farming system, and designing conservation-compatible practices such as agroforestry, hedgerows, and integrated pest management. Participants leave with a framework for integrating biodiversity considerations into farm planning and extension advice.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
Day 1: Agricultural Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Explained
Day 2: Mapping Ecosystem Service Dependencies of a Farming System
Day 3: On-Farm Biodiversity Assessment Methods
Day 4: Pollinators and Pollination Services
Day 5: Soil Biodiversity and Soil-Mediated Services
Day 6: Natural Pest Control and Habitat for Beneficials
Day 7: Agroforestry and Habitat Conservation in Farm Planning
Day 8: Trade-Offs Between Intensification and Biodiversity Conservation
Day 9: Advising Farmers and Organisations on Biodiversity-Friendly Practice
Day 10: Integrated Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Farm Plan
Pollination, soil biota, and natural pest control sit at the centre of this ten-day programme, which serves technical staff and advisors who make decisions about how land is farmed and how biodiversity is managed within it.
Participants who complete all ten days receive a Certificate of Completion from Vision Reach Global Consultancy, confirming they can conduct on-farm biodiversity assessments, map ecosystem service dependencies for a farming system, and advise on biodiversity-friendly farming practices.
Everything you need to know about this course before you register.
By the end of the Agricultural Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services Training programme, you'll be able to explain the relationship between agricultural biodiversity and ecosystem services, conduct a basic on-farm biodiversity assessment, map ecosystem service dependencies for a specific farming system, and identify practices that conserve pollinators, soil biota, and natural pest control. The full breakdown of topics is covered session by session in the Course Outline tab above.
Pollination, soil biota, and natural pest control sit at the centre of this ten-day programme, which serves technical staff and advisors who make decisions about how land is farmed and how biodiversity is managed within it.
