Synopsis (short abstract) Bees and other pollinators are essential for sustainable agriculture and ecological balance, enabling the production of over 75% of global crops, including fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds. Their role enhances not only the quantity but also the quality and diversity of our food. Yet, they face growing threats from habitat loss, unsustainable farming, and climate change.World Bee Day 2025, with the theme “Bee inspired by nature to nourish us all,” emphasizes sustainable agricultural practices inspired by nature's ecosystems. Strategies like intercropping, crop rotation and agroforestry support pollinators, ensuring food security, biodiversity, and resilience against food shortages. Indigenous Peoples’ knowledge highlights the importance of harmony between agriculture and nature, offering invaluable lessons for biodiversity preservation.Protecting pollinators fosters key ecosystem services like pest control, soil health, and water regulation. This year’s theme underscores the need for holistic approaches to ensure the long-term coexistence of agriculture, pollinators, and the environment.Use this guide to learn, take action, and safeguard the future of pollinators!

    The range of efforts required to develop the full potential of NWFPs is wide indeed. Land-use and forest policies need to be evaluated and where necessary adapted to ensure that potential impacts on non-wood forest resources and products are taken into consideration. Increased research on the abundance, distribution, biology and ecology of non-wood forest resources is essential. Of particular importance are investigations into ways to improve the employment- and income-generating potential of NW FPs through better harvesting, storage, transport, processing, manufacturing and marketing. The articles in this issue of Unasylva explore various facets of the challenge of generating income through the sustainable management of NWFPs.
