The\u00adre are many stu\u00addies and moni\u00adto\u00adring efforts, both on natio\u00adnal and inter\u00adna\u00adtio\u00adnal levels, on the sta\u00adte of agri\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adral bio\u00addi\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty. The con\u00adclu\u00adsi\u00adons are usual\u00adly not very uplif\u00adting, becau\u00adse they reaf\u00adfirm its con\u00adti\u00adnuing decli\u00adne in our agri\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adral are\u00adas \u2013 thus for exam\u00adp\u00adle in the most com\u00adpre\u00adhen\u00adsi\u00adve recent assess\u00adment pro\u00advi\u00added by FAO\u2019s \u201cSta\u00adte of the world\u2019s bio\u00addi\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty for food and agri\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adre\u201d<\/a> (2019).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For once, I would share an obser\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon that is repre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adti\u00adve of far\u00admers\u2019 efforts to main\u00adtain the diver\u00adsi\u00adty and, as it hap\u00adpens, the beau\u00adty of our fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my neigh\u00adbor\u00adhood which is not far from the city cen\u00adter of Ber\u00adne, the Swiss capi\u00adtal, the\u00adre is some peri-urban agri\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adre, and it per\u00adsists on this par\u00adti\u00adcu\u00adlar area as a result of the local popu\u00adla\u00adti\u00adon mobi\u00adli\u00adzing against its deve\u00adlo\u00adp\u00adment for urban housing. The sche\u00adme dated back to the 1960s and would have pro\u00advi\u00added housing for up to 6\u2019000 inha\u00adbi\u00adtants. It was never shel\u00adved until the local refe\u00adren\u00addum got a majo\u00adri\u00adty of votes in 1992. The area was kept in the agri\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adral zone, and under con\u00adti\u00adnuous cul\u00adti\u00adva\u00adti\u00adon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, I pass the\u00adre on a walk and see corn\u00adflowers, which I hadn\u2019t seen for a long time \u2013 corn\u00adflower! Cen\u00adtau\u00adrea cya\u00adnus, with its typi\u00adcal flowers, grew as a \u201cweed\u201d in Euro\u00adpean wheat fields for cen\u00adtu\u00adries, but has most\u00adly dis\u00adap\u00adpeared in inten\u00adsi\u00adve agri\u00adcul\u00adtu\u00adre over the last deca\u00addes. Here it made its appear\u00adance, amidst the wheat, with beau\u00adtiful flowers in stark blue (hence \u201ccya\u00adnus\u201d).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bey\u00adond the aes\u00adthe\u00adtic, this is also good news for insects and birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
