22. August 2025 : FRAMEwork Project Nearing Completion: Policy Briefs Published and Presented to the European Commission

As the FRAMEwork project nears completion, key results are now available as policy briefs – including contributions from the Environmental Economics Group on how to support voluntary agri-environmental measures at the landscape level.

Since 2020, researchers from 18 partner institutions in eleven countries have been working within the EU Horizon project FRAMEwork to develop solutions for the challenges of biodiversity management on agricultural land at the landscape level – with the involvement of four staff members from the Environmental Economics Group.

The project will conclude in September 2025. Key findings are now available in the form of policy briefs, including two contributions from the Environmental Economics Group on how voluntary agri-environmental measures by farmers can be more effectively supported through policy interventions at the landscape level:

 

• Fritschle, M. P., Kuhfuss, L. & Vorlaufer, T. (2025). Farmer Clusters Matter: How Farmer Clusters can enhance participation in Agri-environmental contracts. Policy Brief (For the EU-H2020 Funded Project FRAMEwork under Grant Agreement Number 862731). Zenodo link
• Rellensmann, T., Thomas, F. & Engel, S. (2025). Do result-based payments work better for groups? Experimental evidence from Germany. Policy Brief (For the EU-H2020 Funded Project FRAMEwork under Grant Agreement Number 862731). Zenodo link

Further results and project outputs are available on the platform recodo.io.

On 15 July, Moritz Peter Fritschle, Thomas Rellensmann, and other researchers from the FRAMEwork consortium also presented the main results of their work to members of the European Commission.
