In the agricultural sector farming methods and upscaling of farmland are problematic for biodiversity and survival of farm businesses. Not all farmers can compete on the large scale, so the farmer has to find other ways of adding value to their product or business. One of the methods that will be used for that is the Material Flow Analysis to analyze a farm's outputs, for this a farmer was contacted to conduct a case study. A combination of production and landscaping measures can balance the scale towards a more viable countryside with positive ecological impact. This results in lower-intensity farming businesses that are not yet economically viable, to achieve this cooperation is essential and support from society must be enhanced.
