Develop Pollinator Corridors Connecting Agricultural Landscapes

Pollinator populations are declining due to habitat loss and pesticide use, threatening crops that depend on pollination for reproduction. The challenge is creating connected habitats that support pollinator populations across agricultural landscapes. Barriers include landowner coordination, establishment costs, and competition with productive farmland. Without healthy pollinator populations, yields of fruits, vegetables, and nuts will decline, threatening food security and agricultural profits. Successful pollinator corridors could restore pollinator populations while providing additional benefits like pest control and soil conservation, potentially increasing crop yields while supporting biodiversity.
