The Natural Products Expo Virtual Community (NPEVC) is a space where brands and retailers can come together for product discovery, connection, curated content, and much more. Of particular note are the virtual booths, where retailers can search for new brands and product launches and keep up with All-Access brand members year-round in an easily accessible, online setting. Today NPEVC is highlighting organic snacks. Agricultural intensification and climate change are driving unprecedented losses in insect abundance and biodiversity, placing key ecosystem functions like food production in peril. The findings of this research, published in Nature by scientists at University College London, UK, are the first to elucidate the interactions between major drivers of the ongoing insect apocalypse. Vermont wants to put greater restrictions on the use of pesticides to better protect public health and the environment. The updates to be reviewed in June would require commercial pesticide applicants to notify all landowners and joint owners about pesticide use on their property, as well as provide a process to grant permission for people to control invasive plant species on property they do not own. The threat to agriculture from invasive species is huge. The United Nations estimates that plant disease costs the world’s economy over €200 billion per year, with 20-40% of crop production lost to pests. ‘The economic loss from invasive species is immense, and if we took no action, there would be a huge amount of food insecurity, not only across the EU but across the globe,’ said Dr. Hikmate Abriouel, professor of microbiology at Universidad de Jaén in Spain’s Andalucía. To meet the demand for organic crops, we need to produce more organic seeds. According to a new report, many farmers rely on conventional seeds to grow organic crops, to the potential detriment of crop resilience.
