Brief presentation of BPT Insects

The Biodiversity Performance Tool (BPT) facilitates the assessment of the potential for functional biodiversity at farm level by considering both quantity and quality of semi-natural habitats, farming practices and farmers’ involvement on this topic. The present BPT Insects includes additional indicators for insect protection and the possibility to display the development of basic indicators over time. The BPT supports farmers to identify the current situation regarding biodiversity and insects on the farm, to evaluate basic indicators and to select effective measures for a Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP). The BPT helps to assess the quality of implementation of measures as well as monitoring of the whole Biodiversity Action Plan.
