Among other things, it was discussed how these valuable communities in terms of both biodiversity and socio-economic benefits could continue to be seen in our landscapes despite changes in land use patterns. The symposium brought together both state representatives and renowned scientists from Estonia and several parts of Europe, who shared knowledge and experience and sought solutions to support more sustainable land use in their presentations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The&nbsp;presentations&nbsp;from&nbsp;the&nbsp;symposium&nbsp;are&nbsp;now&nbsp;available&nbsp;for&nbsp;viewing&nbsp;and&nbsp;downloading&nbsp;online.&nbsp;You&nbsp;can&nbsp;find&nbsp;them&nbsp;here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/ecobank.ut.ee\/symposium.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/ecobank.ut.ee\/symposium.html.<\/a>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We&nbsp;would&nbsp;like&nbsp;to&nbsp;thank&nbsp;all&nbsp;the&nbsp;speakers&nbsp;and&nbsp;participants&nbsp;once&nbsp;again&nbsp;for&nbsp;the&nbsp;fruitful&nbsp;day&nbsp;of&nbsp;discussion!&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tsipe&nbsp;Aavik,\u202f<a href=\"mailto:tsipe.aavik@ut.ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">tsipe.aavik@ut.ee<\/a>\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sigrid Ots,\u202f<a href=\"mailto:sigrid.ots@ut.ee\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">sigrid.ots@ut.ee<\/a>\u202f\u202f\u202f&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05.02.2026-sumpoosion-Sigrid-Ots-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-850\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05.02.2026-sumpoosion-Sigrid-Ots-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05.02.2026-sumpoosion-Sigrid-Ots-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05.02.2026-sumpoosion-Sigrid-Ots-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05.02.2026-sumpoosion-Sigrid-Ots-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/05.02.2026-sumpoosion-Sigrid-Ots.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In early February, an international symposium \u201cSemi-natural grasslands in the European agricultural landscape: plants, pollinators and people in the winds [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":850,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-852","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=852"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":860,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/852\/revisions\/860"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/850"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=852"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=852"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/pollination.ut.ee\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=852"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
