Declines in honeybees, native bees and other animal pollinators could translate into a global health crisis that isn’t just one of reduced food supply. Research published in the Lancet shows that disastrous declines in pollinating animals could cause dramatic increases in both non-communicable diseases and nutrition deficiencies for people worldwide. Lower-income regions are most at risk.
