[BCFSN] Building Habitat for Pollinators Means Bigger, Better Fruit

[Pamela Zevit]

No surprise! 

 

"Strawberry plants grown near to hedgerows abundant with pollinators produce larger, better quality
fruit, that's more than twice the commercial value of fruit grown in other locations, a new study
finds. The research, published in Agriculture, Ecosystems and Environment shows that integrating
farmland with more hedgerows could therefore produce a double win: protecting pollinators, while
also boosting agricultural yields."

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.
