This is so grim 😢

What can I do to help? Even if it's a minor contribution?

One concrete thing to do is to work with your governing body to promote diverse crop rotations. Ask them to end subsidies for single-crop farms, especially crops that don't serve as a food source for bees or have been made toxic by pesticides (frequently found on massive corn farming operations).

We really do need to just straight-up ban pesticides, antibiotics, and synthetic fertilizers in agriculture.

If there was a way for legislate that all farms needed to be mixed use, I'd go for immediately.

synthetic fertilizers Have fun starving then.
