Join us every Thursday morning, either in-person from 10.45am or online from 11am, to hear about new environmental, climate and sustainability research and initiatives from UCD and beyond.
About the presentation
How pollinating insects operate above ground is well known, but little is known about how insect pollinators depend on the soil for at least part of their lifecycle. Agroecology has the potential to improve agricultural areas for biodiversity, thus increasing the provision of ecosystem services to agriculture.
This talk by Dara Stanley, Associate Professor in Applied Entomology at UCD School of Agriculture and Food Science, will introduce two new projects, ProPollSoil and SAFER, that are investigating these issues in Ireland and across Europe.
