Pollinators are essential for the production of many crop species (>70% of the major food crops).
Their diversity and abundance has declined in agricultural landscapes over recent years. The reason for this are complex, but the lack of floral resources in modern farmed landscapes is a key driver.
Creating habitat in marginal and less productive areas on farm, such as field margins, corners, and buffer zones addresses this problem by providing pollen, nectar and nesting places.
Planting rich habitat on uncropped areas alongside fields and waterways generate interconnected ecological corridors and creates multifunctional opportunities to contribute to a healthy and resilient landscape.
