For this use vegetal species of high production of pollen and nectar to increase the number of insects pollinators, and that at the same time can contribute to avoid the erosion of the floor, develop the population of worms to nourish birds and small mammals, etc., profits for the ecosystem that repercuten directly in the productivity of the arable terrain to the that surround. Alike effects obtain with the plantation of fences around the fields of crop.

Thierry of l'Escaille, general secretary of ELO, affirmed that “the PAC shows that we have to reconcile environingingmental sustainability and food production. The performances in pro of the biodiversidad do not have why be a load for the agriculturalists, but rather an opportunity and a challenge to do more efficient and competitive the processes of production. We consider that 'Landscapes multifuncionales' is an ideal initiative to boost the knowledge and the adoption of measures that will help to guarantee the competitiveness and the profitability of the agricultural sector in Spain”.
