Intensive crops and pollination

Intensive crops and pollination

The oxymoron is that, as we increase intensive crops, we reduce natural pollinators!

At the top of polinators, is the bee!

Widely recognized threats to insect biodiversity, including pollinator diversity, are the destruction of the ecosystems that host them, the intensification of agriculture (including the use of pesticides in particular, which not only harm the bees), climate change, but atmospheric pollution as well, due to the burning of fossil fuels.

The conclusion is, that extinction rates of bees and other pollinators is tend to increase with the intensification of agriculture.

Simply put, we are industrially increasing the quantity but constantly decreasing the quality of our food.

According to the father of medicine, our food is inextricably linked to our health.

“Let food be thy medicine, and food be thy medicine.” Hippocrates.

The future will tell!
