CONTEXT

RestPoll (Restoring Pollinator habitats across European agricultural landscapes based on multi-actor participatory approaches) is a project under the Horizon Europe programme. RestPoll aims to position Europe as a global leader and set the future agenda for pollinator restoration worldwide. The transdisciplinary RestPoll consortium will develop, test, evaluate and refine cross-sectoral pollinator restoration approaches to conserve biodiversity and to benefit nature and society. RestPoll will co-design measures with stakeholders from local field to farm, landscape and to European scales, from governments to individual land managers, in agricultural landscapes that are dominated by intensively managed crops and grasslands to restore wild pollinator diversity and their vital pollination services. Our holistic approach, informed by cutting-edge transdisciplinary research, will integrate stakeholders and actors at multiple levels as well as natural and social science disciplines to engage in participatory planning and development of new business models. Learning outcomes will be disseminated by regional to European multi-actor partners and collaborators, which will ensure impact beyond the end of the project.
