In Europe, intensive agricultural practices have been described as the leading cause for biodiversity losses. Strip cropping is a promising alternative as it can increase in-field biodiversity and reduce dependencies on pesticides while maintaining or increasing crop yields. To better understand the potential of strip cropping as a sustainable cropping alternative, it must be evaluated at a landscape level. This assessment is essential because the spatio-temporal organization of land use activities is an important driver for biodiversity in agricultural landscapes. Moreover, resource exchange and interactions between farmers in landscapes might hamper or enhance the adoption of strip cropping activities. Bio economic models are optimization tools that can find optimal landscape configurations and farm management depending on economic and or ecological objectives. The aim of this research project is, therefore, to assess the potential of strip cropping to enhance biodiversity in agricultural landscapes using bio-economic models. To achieve this, we will study how to include strip cropping activities in bio-economic models which account for economic and ecological interactions at a landscape level. This will enable us to quantify trade-offs between ecological and economic objectives at a landscape level. This PhD project is part of the research consortium CROPMIX.
