Bees and biodiversity drive new sustainability focus in agriculture.

As biodiversity risks escalate in Asia's agricultural regions, the health of pollinators is becoming essential for food security, climate resilience, supply-chain stability, and ESG performance. In Vietnam's Central Highlands, a coffee farmer tends to blooming coffee trees, aware of the importance of weather and fertilizer prices, yet perhaps unaware that his crop's future relies on bees, which work silently and without compensation. This scenario is mirrored across Asia, where billions of pollinators, from China's apple orchards to Indonesia's cocoa farms, play a crucial yet often unrecognized role in supporting food systems valued at hundreds of billions of dollars.
