The regenagri podcast is a platform for leading industry experts to explore the future of farming and the hot topics surrounding the global movement of regenerative agriculture.
In this episode, Rose Riley speaks to Michaël van Cutsem, co-founder of Beeodiversity, about using pollinator data to inform regenerative practices, improve biodiversity and reduce environmental impact.
Michaël explains that we all benefit from biodiversity and bee pollination is fundamental to create and restore ecosystems. However, bees are in severe decline globally, at a rate of 30% per year, from a lack of biodiversity, risk of disease and an increase in pollutants.
Being natural drones, bees can tell us a lot about local environments. Using pioneering techniques and data analysis, pollen collected from strategically placed beehives provides a wealth of information about plant species diversity and pollutants in a targeted area.
Michaël shares how this data has been used to encourage regenerative farming practices and changes in corporate operations that benefit the environment, as well as human health, while also addressing the issue of bee decline.
