The University of Reading - School of Agriculture, Policy and Development

The University of Reading’s Centre for Agri-Environmental Research conducts inter-disciplinary scientific research to reconcile the often-conflicting demands of agricultural production and environmental protection. Its focus is on the inter-relationships between agricultural land-use and biodiversity, and current research is examining the declines of pollinators in the UK, the cause of these declines and the projected impact on UK society.

What is Insect Week?

Insect Week encourages people of all ages to learn more about insects.

Every two years, the Royal Entomological Society organises the week, supported by a large number of partner organisations with interests in the science, natural history and conservation of insects.
