Pollination underpins food security, resilient agriculture and supports biodiversity. In Ethiopia habitat loss and agrochemical use pose great risks to this ecosystem service which is taken for granted. Most Ethiopian farmers have no knowledge about pollination and have been taught that all insects, except honey bees, are pests. The government extension service does not provide training on pollination, citing lack of knowledge and tools. This project will develop a Pollination Training Toolkit and make it available to every extension worker.
