Latin America (LA) is a major producer and exporter of animal and plant-based food products, of which plant product yields rely heavily on entomophilous pollination; with bees being the major pollinators. We aim to promote the integration of apiculture and meliponiculture into diversified agricultural systems, aided by knowledge-based actions, to produce quality foods for our populations; taking into account environmental conservation, the local cultural heritage, and the rational use of our natural resources.
