Operation Pollinator aims to provide the essential habitat to boost numbers of crucially important pollinating insects on farmland, to:
- Protect and enhance overall biodiversity
- Improve crop yields and quality
- Secure a sustainable farming and environmental balance
What is Operation Pollinator?
Instigated by Syngenta and based on scientific research and the experience of selected farmers, Operation Pollinator has proven to help growers successfully establish and manage pollen rich habitat in key locations around the farm – with dramatic recovery in the fortunes of pollinating insect populations.
Now, building on the success of Operation Bumblebee in the UK, Operation Pollinator is being developed on commercial farms across Europe, with projects running concurrently in France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Portugal and the UK.
