Pollinator Deficits, Food Consumption, and Consequences for Human Health: A Modeling Study
Animal pollination supports agricultural production for many healthy foods, such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, and legumes, that provide key nutrients and protect against noncommunicable disease. This study showed that populations of pollinators were responsible for large burdens of disease through lost healthy food consumption and that low-income countries lost significant income and crop yields from pollinator deficits.
