Biodiversity

To receive direct payments, Swiss farming families must promote biodiversity. They are dependent on a high level of biodiversity in order to do their work.

Neophytes

Invasive neophytes spread very quickly since they have no enemies or enjoy better conditions than where they came from. They displace native species – which means that animals specially adapted to these species lose their habitat.
