What does farming with nature mean to you?

FIREFLIES is a Horizon Europe-funded project focused on biodiversity restoration and ecosystem resilience in European agricultural landscapes. It operates across five demo regions — Spain, Italy, Greece, Hungary, and Lithuania — bringing together farmers, researchers, policymakers, advisors, companies, and local stakeholders to identify effective practices and scale restoration in real farming contexts.

At the FIREFLIES Kick-off Meeting in Cartagena, partners were asked: 'What does 'farming with nature' mean to you?' Their responses frame the project's core question going forward: how can biodiversity restoration be embedded into actual farming landscapes, decisions, and support systems for farmers.
