Agricultural Pollination: The Role of Beneficial Insects in Food Security and Sustainability delves into the intricate relationship between farming and pollinators, as well as other beneficial insects, examining the ways in which their ecological roles can improve crop health and yield, ultimately bolstering food security without environmentally harmful chemical interventions. The book begins with coverage of foundational topics, such as types of key pollinators and their behaviors, and moves into more practical topics, such as creating pollinator-friendly landscapes and emerging technologies in pollination services.

Taking a multidisciplinary approach, the book also covers conservation strategies, economic impacts of pollinators, policy recommendations, and community engagement. This timely reference will offer invaluable insights for researchers, students, agricultural industry professionals, and policymakers alike, contributing to the advancement of environmentally-friendly and economically viable agricultural practices.

Examines the role of insect pollination on crop yields and secure food systems
Bridges the gap between academic research, agricultural practices, and policy considerations
Demonstrates successful applications of pollinators in agriculture through case studies
