Investigations to increase crop diversity and biodiversity in arable land and to reduce the use of plant protection products could only be analysed in isolated investigations. The significant developments in recent years in the field of digitization opens up new possibilities and perspectives for activities in the field of linking crop diversity, biodiversity and plant protection in an innovative and intelligent way to develop pioneering cultivation systems. Based on this development, the aim of the MoDe-PB-NRW project is to increase the diversity of the cultivation systems to increase crop diversity and crop rotation on the fields in order to improve functional biodiversity and reduce the use of pesticides as well as to increase the resilience against the effects of climate change. In doing so, those that can be implemented in practice should be used possibilities of digitization such as yield, sowing and fertilizer maps as well as the site-specific management, not least in order to management requirements and the expected increase in the cost. It should be innovative and practicable measures and procedures from the following fields of action farming strategy (I) Crop diversity and crop rotation (II) Crop Protection (III) Digitalization (IV) Biodiversity must be implemented and demonstrated at the practical level, which without funding or only with considerable would be introduced into agricultural practice with a time delay.
