Wind-pollinated staples feed calories — fruits, nuts, and coffee need bees and friends.
Wind-pollinated staples feed calories — fruits, nuts, and coffee need bees and friends. This grid divides crop types (2026 snapshot) into colored bands — Pollinator-dependent crops and Wind / self-pollinated — using equal squares so you compare shares, not country size on a map.
1 cell = 0.1 percent of leading crop types (0.1% of crop types) · 1,000 cells
Context
The 2026 figures from IPBES pollinators put Pollinator-dependent crops at 75% of crop types and Wind / self-pollinated at 25%.
/ IPBES: ~75% leading crop types benefit from animal pollination.
