Case study of the participative cooperation of farmers and scientists within the project 'Integration of nature protection goals in Organic agriculture demonstrated on the Hessian Estate Frankenhausen'
Measures for nature protection are developed and tested for the improvement of nature components within agricultural practice. Four actors can be distinguished as part of the interdisciplinary project: (1) the farm managers as integrators of the measures into practice, (2) the field technicians as appliers of the measures, (3) the scientists as tutors and investigators of the measures and (4) the project coordinators as responsible persons for the project management. A qualitative survey will take place at two times with actors of all groups in order to provide qualitative evaluations of common and contradictive understandings of the common approach.
