It is only recently that the immense economic value of pollination to agriculture has been appreciated. At the same time, the alarming collapse in populations of bees and other pollinators has highlighted the urgency of addressing this issue. This book focuses on the specific measures and practices that the emerging science of pollination ecology is identifying to conserve and promote animal pollinators in agroecosystems.It reviews the expanding knowledge base on pollination services, providing evidence to document the status, trends and importance of pollinators to sustainable agricultural production. It provides practical and specific measures that land managers can undertake to ensure that agroecosystems are supportive and friendly to pollinators. It draws on the Global Pollination Project, supported by UNEP/GEF and implemented by FAO and seven partner countries (Brazil, Ghana, India, Kenya, Nepal, Pakistan and South Africa), which serve to provide "lessons from the field".

La quatrième de couverture indique : "Popularisé en 2010 par Olivier de Schutter, alors rapporteur des Nations unies pour le droit à l'alimentation, le terme d'agroécologie a été utilisé pour désigner un modèle alternatif susceptible de répondre aux crises économiques, sociales et écologiques en conciliant les activités humaines avec les ressources planétaires. Il recouvre aujourd'hui une réalité encore floue, noyée dans une abondance de concepts cherchant à s'y rattacher. L'objet de cet ouvrage est de fournir les clés pour comprendre de manière simple les processus biologiques et sociaux impliqués dans les modèles agricoles actuels, les limites avérées du modèle industriel et les principes d'un système alimentaire soutenable. En résumé, il s'attache à présenter les fondements de l'agroécologie. Parce que la recherche d'un mode d'alimentation durable constitue un thème d'intérêt social majeur qui va bien au-delà des cercles d'experts, l'auteur souligne aussi l'urgence de replacer la question alimentaire au centre du débat public."
