Pollinators allow many plants, including many food crops, to reproduce. The food that we eat directly relies on pollinators.
A world without pollinators would equal a world without food diversity – no blueberries, coffee, chocolate and so much more.

In the Magical Thinking Administration, you can solve problems by eliminating words. The USDA is no longer allowed to say “safe drinking water” or “greenhouse gas emissions.” Somehow, this is “putting farmers first.”
