Statistics Canada models wild pollinators’ contribution to crop harvests
Published by BriefDash · · Toronto
A November 2 Statistics Canada release estimates that wild pollinators accounted for 2.4% to 3.1% of the weight of selected Canadian crop harvests each year from 2016 through 2024. The agency modelled contributions using crop locations and proximity to natural habitats. The estimate covers field crops, forage corn and hay, fruits and vegetables.
Why it matters
The model gives researchers a way to estimate how nearby habitat contributes to agriculture.
