Welcome to the NaPA project page!
NaPA stands for "Nature Positive Agriculture"
WHAT DID WE ACHIEVE?
Three years of field research across 19 farms in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. Together with farmers, scientists and industry, we investigated which measures can measurably promote biodiversity on productive agricultural land – beyond ideology, based on data. The results show: nature-positive agriculture is not a utopia.

WHAT DID THIS PROJECT DO?
Measure, analyze, evaluate
Organic and conventional farmers from Germany, Austria and Switzerland worked together over three years in this Syngenta-organised project to generate and analyse data and test new technologies – with the overarching goal of measurably improving insect diversity and soil health in agriculture. The Leibniz Institute for the Analysis of Biodiversity Change (LIB) provided independent scientific oversight and produced robust, meaningful data.
Discussed, learned, motivated
In 39 round tables, farmers and representatives from science, society and politics discussed together how climate protection, soil health and biodiversity can be integrated into a future-proof system – and how nature-positive agriculture can simultaneously preserve the livelihoods of farms. Exchanges took place both virtually and in person. The motto: talk to each other instead of about each other
