Pollinating insects influence human health by pollinating our crops, NPR's Jonathan Lambert reports. New research in the journal Nature shows that influence can be surprisingly large. Nature is good for human health. Trees clear the air, wetlands filter water, and insects pollinate food.
But moving beyond these generalities to specifics has been hard. A research team in Nepal zoomed in by tracing the links between pollinators, crops, and farmers.
They found that insects are responsible for more than 20 percent of total vitamin E, A, and
folate intake in these areas. As insects decline worldwide from climate change, habitat loss, and pesticide use, the researchers say human health could suffer. But the study also found that simple actions to help pollinators, like planning wildflowers, can help reverse these declines and keep communities healthy.
