[BCFSN] Organic farming supports spatiotemporal stability in species richness of bumblebees and butterflies

[Pamela Zevit]

Open access paper from Biological Conservation:

"Our study shows that organic farming reduces the spatiotemporal fluctuations in bumblebee and
butterfly species richness. In addition, increasing floral resources as such benefits bumblebees and
butterflies irrespective of farming system. Organic farming and increasing availability in floral
resources therefore contribute to maintaining the within and between-year stability of bumblebees
and butterflies in agricultural landscapes."

The word Adamah is rooted in the Hebrew language (Adam - man, Adamah - earth) and is interpreted as
the "land from which man was made".  At its roots lies the recognition of our species intrinsic
connection to the earth and the inherent responsibility to protect and sustain it.
