Native California bees and other wild pollinators, which are essential to many fruit vegetable crops, being threatened by climate change, pesticides habitat degradation. Carbon farming, a set of practices that sequester carbon in the soil or woody biomass, can create supports these pollinators. This paper focuses on management farming both increase sequestration benefit pollinator communities. By incentivizing supporting conservation incorporate we protect pollinators resilience agriculture face ongoing change.
