The AgriLand project was set up to survey pollinators and wildflowers across Britain and to examine the importance of land use and the structure of the British landscape in a bid to detect the most likely causes of decline in the populations of both domestic and wild pollinating insects.

The Food and Environment Research Agency (FERA) is a national and international centre of excellence for interdisciplinary investigation and problem solving across plant and bee health and crop protection in order to create sustainable agri-food supply chains. FERA is an executive agency of the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA) (for which, see, for example: https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/department-for-environment-food-rural-affairs).
