Conservation International publishes Food Security Strategy

Conservation International’s blog has a post on the problems faced by pollinators. A nice enough summary, but what struck me was the mention of CI’s new Food Security Strategy.

As a part of CI’s new Food Security Strategy, CI recognizes the critical role that native pollinators play in food production. The conservation and promotion of native pollinators is an excellent demonstration of where synergies between food security and healthy ecosystems can occur.

You can find more about it on another blog post. Will it be another agriculture-is-the-enemy diatribe? Maybe not. Something else for the to-read list.
