 ## Description
 
-Persefone.jl models agricultural practice and how it impacts animal species at a landscape
-scale. It includes a farm submodel, a crop growth submodel, and individual-based models
-of multiple indicator species. Its aim is to investigate how changes in farm operations
-(e.g. through policy changes in the CAP) influence biodiversity.
+[Persefone.jl](https://git.idiv.de/xo30xoqa/persefone) models agricultural practice and 
+how it impacts animal species at a landscape scale. It includes a farm submodel, a crop 
+growth submodel, and individual-based models of multiple indicator species. Its aim is to 
+investigate how changes in farm operations (e.g. through policy changes in the CAP) 
+influence biodiversity.
 
 The model is based on the [Agents.jl](https://juliadynamics.github.io/Agents.jl/stable/) 
 framework. It is currently in the early stages of development.
