Missed the webinar? Catch up on ‘Pathways to pollinator-biodiversity’ for food companies

Review at your leisure Origin Green’s ‘Pathways to Pollinator-biodiversity’ webinar series.

These webinars provide food processors and agri-business and other stakeholders with guidance on taking evidence-based actions on their business sites and also helping farm suppliers/growers to support pollinators and wider biodiversity on their land.

The basis of much of this work is centred around the evidence-based AIPP Businesses: actions to help pollinators and companion resources.

For those managing farmland the following guidelines are relevant: AIPP Farmland: actions to help pollinators. Those developing energy sources on their land can also review Pollinator friendly management of solar farms and wind farms.
