VALOR is a multi-actor project that will co-develop a comprehensive systems-based approach to provide a deeper understanding of the cascading impacts of pollinator shifts from flower to fork and beyond. VALOR aims to empower actors to better understand their relationship with pollinators and will produce a number of co-developed tools for landowners, businesses and policymakers to better understand these risks and easily undertake their own studies by replicating our methods and employing our models.
Pollinators contribute to the reproduction of about 75% of the world's leading food crops
