This study had the merit of estimating how much of the gap in agricultural production between medium-sized farms and those that ensure the majority of crops was linked to insufficient pollination. For this, they had monitored 344 agricultural fields, dependent on 33 pollinating insects around the world. That study found that about 25% of the yield gap was likely related to the loss of the most important of the <strong>ecosystem services<\/strong> provided by pollinators.<\/p>\n<p>From that baseline, the working group calculated that the decline in insect numbers caused a <strong>4.7 percent decrease in fruit<\/strong> and nut production and a 3.2 percent decrease in vegetable production. At that point they went on to analyze the link between healthy living and the daily availability of these foods on our tables.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We estimated how eating more of these healthy foods would benefit your health,&#8221; says <strong>Matthew Smith<\/strong>, a researcher in Harvard&#8217;s Department of Environmental Health and lead author of the research. <span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">&#8220;To do this, we drew on robust epidemiological research that has linked increased consumption of fruits, vegetables and nuts to reduced mortality from many major chronic diseases such as heart disease, stroke, cancer and diabetes.&#8221;<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"lRu31\"><span class=\"HwtZe\" lang=\"en\"><span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Most affected?<\/span><\/span> <span class=\"jCAhz ChMk0b\"><span class=\"ryNqvb\">Middle-income countries<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h5>\n<p>The research then goes more specifically to investigate in which areas of the world the link between premature deaths and pollinator decline is strongest. According to their analyses, the most affected nations are middle-income countries. <strong>Russia<\/strong>, <strong>China<\/strong> and <strong>India<\/strong>, in particular. Areas where there is already a high propensity to die from cancer, diabetes and stroke. The impact on <strong>rich countries<\/strong> is instead less strong because their population is on average more able to support the increase in fruit and vegetable prices.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_25535\" style=\"width: 1040px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-25535\" class=\"size-large wp-image-25535\" src=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Schermata-2023-05-19-alle-09.47.45-1030x654.png\" alt=\" Current annual mortality estimated to be attributable to inadequate pollination and its dietary effects, by cause of death and country income.

Moreover, they are areas in which chronic diseases are much less widespread than in the richest countries&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>However, this does not mean that even among the poorest territories the decline of pollinators is not a problem. In countries such as <strong>Indonesia, Vietnam and Myanmar,<\/strong> fruit consumption has decreased by 7-15% due to the decline of bees and other insects, an average rate higher than that recorded in other states. And the same countries suffer from significantly higher stroke rates than the global average.<\/p>\n<h5>Concerns and solutions for the future<\/h5>\n<p>Moreover, the increase in the human population worldwide, which has already exceeded 8 billion individuals and is estimated at <strong>9.7 billion within the middle of the century,<\/strong> can only worsen the estimates. In fact, the demand for food resulting from pollination will increase (no less than 75% of food raw materials depend on insects). \u201cTo meet their needs we will need <strong>significant increases in pollinated food production<\/strong>,\u201d Smith recalls. \u201cSo either we significantly increase the number of wild pollinators or we will be forced to strengthen <a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/agricultural-industry\/eu-pesticides-contamination-grows\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">intensive conventional agriculture<\/a>, which however damages our global environment, with enormous quantities of greenhouse gases, soil pollution, contamination and depletion of water basins, depletion of resources needed for fertilizers, loss of biodiversity\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Hence the call to <strong>protect habitats for pollinating insects<\/strong> and create solutions to stimulate their growth. <strong>Remedies<\/strong> that can be developed at many different levels: from the individual farmer up to the national government or supranational level. For example by reserving small areas on each farm for their foraging. At the same time, according to Smith, it is necessary to continue with the &#8220;progressive elimination of the use of <a href=\"https:\/\/resoilfoundation.org\/en\/environment\/germany-pesticide-soil-impact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pesticides harmful<\/a> to the life of bees and other beneficial insects, starting with neonicotinoids&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The &#8220;prudential&#8221; estimate is contained in a new international study published in Environmental Health Perspectives.
