In summary... 8 out of 10 European crops depend on pollination by insects but honeybee populations have declined by 54% since 1985 Insects contribute more than £12 billion to crop production in Europe (£400 million just in the UK) We currently use less than 3 percent of the 250,000 plant varieties available for agriculture Avoiding monocultures and pesticides and creating new habitats with a wider range of plants is vital if we are going to counteract these problems...
