Resources

Pollinator Safety in Agriculture
Author: Roubik, D.W. (ed.)
Contributing to knowledge management of pollination services in sustainable agriculture, FAO and its partners have assembled evidence related to wild pollinators, to advance understanding of pollinator's risks to pesticides, through their natural history.
Aspects Determining the Risk of Pesticides to Wild Bees
Author: van der Valk, H., Koomen, I., et al.

Handbook for Participatory Socioeconomic Evaluation of Pollinator-friendly Practices
Author: Grieg-Gran, M. & Gemmill-Herren, B.
FAO and IIED have developed this 5-step guide to help farmers evaluate the benefits, and costs of applying pollinator-friendly practices.
