Description

VALOR is a multi-actor project that will develop a comprehensive systems based approach to develop a deeper understanding of the cascading impacts of pollinator shifts from flower to fork (and beyond). Our work spans seven localised “focal regions” across Europe, where we will explore the impacts of pollinator shifts on ecosystems, farm businesses and local communities through primary research and modelling. These will be supported by broader synthesis and modelling tasks to determine the impacts of pollinators on value chains, international trade and nutrition and highlight the risks to ecosystems and natural capital across Europe, under different co-developed future scenarios. VALOR aims to empower actors to better understand their relationship with pollinators and will produce a number of co-developed tools for landowners businesses and policymakers to better understand these risks and easily undertake their own studies by replicating our methods and employing our models. Throughout the project, VALOR will work through our existing networks of policy and business collaborators to maximise the engagement with our outcomes, datasets and tools, build synergies with the wider pollinator research community and effectively mainstream pollinators into decision-making at all levels throughout Europe.
