英國(guó)瑞丁大學(xué)（UniversityofReading）發(fā)布聲明指出，除非遏制全球授粉生物數(shù)量下降，否則世界糧食供應(yīng)與就業(yè)將有風(fēng)險(xiǎn)。
動(dòng)物授粉直接影響約3/4的重要作物，包括大部分的水果、種子與堅(jiān)果，以及咖啡、可可亞及油菜等經(jīng)濟(jì)作物。研究團(tuán)隊(duì)指出，授粉生物每年增加約2350億到5770億美元的農(nóng)作生產(chǎn)。
部分原文報(bào)道如下：
about 1.4 billion jobs and three-quarters of all crops depend on pollinators, researchers said Monday warning of a dire threat to human welfare if the falls in bee and butterfly numbers are not halted.
“World food supplies and jobs are at risk unless urgent action is taken to stop global declines of pollinators,” said a statement from the University of Reading, whose researchers took part in the global review.
Animal pollination directly affects about three-quarters of important crop types, including most fruits, seeds and nuts and high-value products such as coffee, cocoa and oilseed rape.
