The systemic health and productivity impacts related to pollinator population are explored in this research paper. "Insufficient populations of pollinators were responsible for large present-day burdens of disease through lost healthy food consumption. In addition, we calculated that low-income countries lost significant income and crop yields from pollinator deficits. These results underscore the urgent need to promote pollinator-friendly practices for both human health and agricultural livelihoods." https://doi.org/10.1289/EHP10947
