We rely on insects more than we realize—until they become a problem. In this episode, entomologist Dr. Christelle Guédot helps us untangle the delicate balance between pests we fight and pollinators we depend on.

From fruit crops to backyard gardens, Dr. Guédot breaks down how insect behavior shapes our food system, what happens when we tip that balance, and how farmers and researchers are working with—not just against—nature.

We explore:

  • Why pollinator health is declining (and why it matters)
  • How we monitor and manage agricultural pests
  • The future of farming in a world of changing ecosystems

Whether you grow food or just eat it, this episode will change how you think about the smallest creatures doing the biggest work.
