When we think about food, we typically don’t think about bugs in a positive light. However, there is an insect who has a crucial role in ensuring successful harvests of healthy crops - bees! Bees are pollinators, meaning they help pollen from one plant get to other in order for plant reproduction to occur. Now, bees don’t behave this way randomly; they’ve evolved to participate in this symbiotic relationship. If we knew all the chemical and biological mechanisms driving this behavior, theoretically, we could leverage those forces to work with the goals of farmers up against unprecedented climate change and population growth.
Companies developing Agriculture-based technology, or Ag-tech, are interested in using science to improve how we grow crops.
Today, I am going to be talking to Angelita de la Luz Global Director of Pollination Operations at Beeflow about how she helps implement ag tech in the field in a pesticide-free, bee-safe way!
