Abstract
Pollinators play a vital role in agriculture by facilitating the reproduction of flowering plants, including many crops essential for human consumption. However, pollinator populations are facing numerous threats, including habitat loss, pesticide exposure, and diseases. This paper examines the importance of pollinator conservation in agriculture and explores strategies for enhancing pollinator habitat, reducing pesticide use, and promoting pollinator-friendly farming practices. It highlights the role of farmers, policymakers, and conservation organizations in safeguarding pollinator populations and ensuring sustainable crop pollination for future food security.
