Environmental target species

In 2008, the FOEN derived and published the report "environmental objectives for agriculture" including the areas biodiversity, landscape and water bodies, climate and air, and water and soil. The report contains target- and indicator species for fungi and a valuable list of where these species occur in agriculture.

With the objective of an efficient implementation, the FOEN and the FOAG (Federal Office for Agriculture) published the report "Implementation of the environmental objectives of agriculture" with the following three objectives: (i) Establishing agricultural policy objectives for species and habitats as part of the further development of the direct payment system; (ii) Providing a basis for the formulation of quantitative and qualitative objectives for species and habitats and for the formulation of measures for a biodiversity strategy; and (iii) Providing a basis for the derivation of measures for the implementation of the objectives for species and habitats at regional level.
