Share of cropland used to grow pollinator dependent crops, 2016

A crop is considered to be pollinator-dependent if animal pollination is required to increase the quantity and/or the quality of fruits or seeds directly consumed by
humans. This means that in the absence of pollination these crops would have lower yields, but most would still continue to grow.
