Insectos y agricultores ¿amigos o enemigos?

As one of the many components of an agro-ecosystem, insects do not just "combine well" with high yields. A larger insect population can actually help achieve higher yields and other objectives.

Farmers are frequently unaware of the huge diversity of insect species in their fields, and of their functions as part of an ecosystem. And farming has a strong influence on their population balance.

Yet evidence from all over the world shows that insects provide many benefits. It is thus only logical to change the way we look at agriculture, and encourage their presence.
