Pesticides and biodiversity
Please note: This is not an BASF publication.We all want a wide variety of high-quality and affordable foods available to us the year-round; we also want a prosperous countryside, and healthy and diverse ecosystems. A growing population and greater demands on agriculture presents society with one of the great challenges of the 21st century – to produce more agricultural goods from the same hectare while protecting biodiversity. Fortunately, the solution is at hand; productive agriculture is a key component in the protection of water, health, food, soil, and biodiversity.
Pollinators and agriculture
Please note: This is not an BASF publication.Pollinators such as the honey bee represent some of our most important species. Pollination allows plants to reproduce, provides the fruits, seeds and foliage that we eat, and much of the flora in our natural environment, gardens and parks. For thousands of years, through the domestication of the honey bee, humans and the iconic Apis mellifera, L. (Western honey bee) have together produced flowering fields, abundant fruit and vegetable crops, honey, and a variety of hive products.
