Policy Brief: Pollinator-Friendly Agricultural Policies: Pathways for Sustainable Food Systems

A New Policy Brief to Rethink Agriculture Through the Lens of Pollinators.

How can we build food systems that are both productive and truly sustainable? Our new Policy Brief on Pollinator-Friendly Agricultural Policies brings together a decade of scientific evidence to highlight why supporting pollinators is essential for ecosystem health, agricultural resilience, and human wellbeing.

The brief offers a clear and accessible synthesis of specialized researches - fully listed in the reference section for those who wish to explore the science in depth. Our aim is to distil complex findings into readable, actionable insights for decision-makers and stakeholders across the food system.

Why This Matters Now

Pollinators, like bees, flies, beetles, butterflies, and many others, play a crucial role in global nutrition and food security. Yet their populations are under increasing pressure from habitat loss, climate change, pesticide use, and expanding monocultures. The scientific literature of the last decade paints a clear picture: safeguarding pollinators is not just about conserving nature - it is about protecting crop yields, biodiversity, community health, and long-term environmental stability.

What the Research Reveals

The evidence points towards solutions that are both practical and scalable: smarter landscape design, habitat targets, biodiversity-based approaches, and simple monitoring tools that can guide real-world decisions. Even crops not traditionally considered pollinator-dependent show unexpected benefits when pollinators thrive.
