Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production​

Bees and other pollinators are fundamental for the health of ecosystems and food security. They help maintain biodiversity and ensure the production of nutritious food.

Under the theme “Bee engaged in pollinator-friendly agricultural production”, World Bee Day 2023 called for global action to support pollinator-friendly agricultural production and highlight the importance of protecting bees and other pollinators, particularly through evidence-based agricultural production practices.

The global World Bee Day ceremony, held in hybrid format at FAO headquarters on Friday, 19 May, was an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of adopting pollinator-friendly agricultural production practices to protect bees and other pollinators, while contributing to the resilience, sustainability and efficiency of agrifood systems.
