A guide to pollinator-friendly farming
Action from farmers is essential to stopping the decline of pollinators. Farmland is vital to as it provides them with food, shelter and a place to breed. You can maximise the benefits your farmland can bring to pollinators by putting a variety of management measures in place.
Here you will find sources of advice to make your farm more pollinator-friendly.
- useful resources outlining recommendations as well as projects and organisations that can help implement them.
- organisations and contacts providing further advice for farmers on pollinators.
Resources and contacts have been organised by country so you can find advice that is relevant to your area, you can use the filter function at the top of the table.
