🐝Pollinators play an active role in human society, directly affecting supply chains across food, beverage, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries. Despite this, pollinators face growing pressures, which may have significant impacts on wider ecosystems and threaten the services that people and businesses depend on.

We are conducting a survey to understand what stakeholders need from decision-support tools that help integrate crucial information into policy and practice, to protect pollinators. And we want to hear from you!

💡Do you work in sustainability or finance?
💡Are you involved in the agrifood, energy, materials or land management sector?
💡Does your organization consider pollinators in its decision-making (or do you think it should)?

Your insights will help shape new tools being developed as part of the Horizon Europe projects VALOR and RestPoll to support pollinator-friendly decision-making. Head to comments to access the survey link 💬⤵️
