he Information Highway has never been more complex, nor its content so difficult to appraise. Moreover, the digital (computer and information technology) deficit in the developing world grows larger by the day. By thinking of scientific and technical information as requiring depth, precision and accuracy it can be considered as a vertical component to knowledge. The dissemination of that information into practice as part of day to day life requires that the information be simplified for extension education, but without loss of rigour as what may be thought of as the horizontal component to general knowledge. Scientific and technical information is of little use if it can not be widely applied. INESP aims to provide the vertical component to the knowledge base, and to provide that to leaders (e.g. FAO, IBRA, IUCN, UNEP, global, regional and national agricultural and conservation organizations etc.) in the horizontal extension of that relevant and reliable information.



In short, The Task Force on Declining Pollination is expected to be able to provide the scientific capacity by which sustainability of pollination systems can be achieved. This scientific capacity depends on interdisciplinary scientific expertise that combines botany, zoology, ecology, ethology, environmental sciences, and so on with economics and social sciences, extension education methodologies in synthesizing and appraising information, both old and new, through modern approaches in informatics.
