Cover Story: Large-scale, high-input, and intensified agriculture poses threats to sustainable agroecosystems and their inherent biodiversity. Currently, farmers are not encouraged to broadly implement AECM programs covered by the EU Common Agricultural Policy due to the lack of structured information, overly complicated and unclear application procedures, and a high risk of sanctions. With NatApp, we introduce a digital tool that supports and guides farmers through the complete process of applying, implementing, and documenting nature conservation measures (AECM) on their fields in accordance with legal requirements in Germany. In this study, NatApp is compared to other digital farming tools focused on sustainable agriculture, and it is outlined how it can support a contribution to more sustainable agriculture.
