¿Cómo podemos proteger a los polinizadores y promover su papel en las prácticas agrícolas y ambientales?

La polinización es responsable de suministrarnos una amplia variedad de alimentos -que abarcan el 35 por ciento de la producción agrícola mundial- y de incrementar la producción de 87 de los principales cultivos alimentarios a nivel mundial
