THE VALUE OF POLLINATORS

“THE VALUE OF POLLINATORS”

“Nature-positive production that aids biodiversity and limits the impacts of climate change is key to making our food systems more sustainable. Plant science gives farmers the tools to protect their crops while supporting the world’s pollinators.”

• “An estimated 200,000 to 350,000 different species help with pollination.”
• “The most common pollinators are insects, such as BEES, WASPS, MOTHS, and BEETLES.”
• “But this also includes BIRDS, BATS, LIZARDS, and even MARSUPIALS.”
• “Of the 115 major global crops, 87 rely on ANIMAL POLLINATION.”
• “This translates to between $235B and $577B worth of global FOOD PRODUCTION.”
• “Pollinators are crucial – 1 in every 3 BITES OF FOOD on the planet is THANKS TO THEM.”
