Every year trillions upon trillions of migratory insects soar above our heads, nearly completely unnoticed. These insects are remarkably important to global ecosystems and agricultural systems alike. They are vital pollinators, decomposers, pests and pest controllers, and perhaps most crucially, they move vast quantities of nutrients huge distances. This session, led by insect migration researcher Dr Will Hawkes, will showcase the work of the insects and how they play vital yet under-appreciated roles. We’ll discuss how to encourage these insects to your farmland and how to protect them for generations to come.
