hosted
a hearing to discuss the government response to pollinator health. Each
event highlighted the importance of understanding the economics of
pollinator health in the agricultural industry. Intramural and extramural
agricultural economic research programs are responding to information needs
by building the wealth of knowledge needed to deconstruct the challenges to
pollinator health across the nation. In this webinar, you will hear from
expert economists about the supply and demand of pollinator services, the
land-uses and conservation approaches that can support pollinator habitat,
and other aspects of the agricultural economics of pollination.
