Summary
Pollinator declines negatively impact people’s livelihoods and health, as crop yields decrease, and micronutrients found in pollinator-dependent crops are lost from the diet. Working in Nepal, we aim to reverse these trends by integrating pollinator conservation and management into mainstream agricultural policy and practice. We have the data to design a Pollinator Stewardship Scheme – we now want to apply our evidence-base through outreach, training, demonstration, capacity-building and policy change to achieve lasting impact
