1. Article One: Crop pollination from native bees at risk from
agricultural intensification
An article published in
PNAS found that a lack of plant diversity for bees
caused insufficient pollination services in watermelons. The
study compared organic and conventional farming management
as well as proximity to naturally biodiverse land. Pollination
contribution and abundance of bees was measured through the
number of newly opened female flowers in the watermelon vine
and the number of bees that visited the flower. The results
found that bees pollinating organic farms that were near
biodiverse flora were able to provide full pollination service.
However, as biodiversity of the surrounding area decreased, the
pollination services could not meet the needs of the watermelon.
The abundance of the bees also decreased in the monocultured
areas because their nutritional needs where also not met. The
researchers concluded that plant diversity is essential in
maintaining a healthy colony and warned that expansion of
incentive farming will create ecosystems that will not support
native or commercial bees (Kremen, Williams, & Thorp, 2002).
This article is a reliable source because it was published by
PNAS. This journal is the official academic journal for
the Academy of Science, a nongovernmental agency charges
with research and development for the purpose of advising law
makers on policies related to science and technology. PNAS’
website states they have a three tiered per-review system that
submitted articles must undergo.
This article will be useful because it will help me to establis h
that monocultures do not meet the nutritional needs of the bees
or the crops they are supposed to pollenate. The study found a

2. decrease in the population of bees when they did not have their
nutrient needs met. I can possibly link this to the study below
by saying that nutritional stress leads to immunosuppression
and infection in my one of the
causes subsection title
Nutritional Stress.
Article Two: Impact of nutritional stress on the honeybee
colony health
An article published in
Scientific Reports analyzed how habitat depletion and
loss of biodiversity impact the strength and health of the hive.
62 colonies were placed in a nutritionally poor Eucalyptus
grandis plantation for the season and divided into two groups.
Half of the hives receives a polyfloral pollen supplement and
was used as a control. The researchers examined pollen
composition, colony strength and Nosema ceranae infection.
The bees that received the supplement had high concentrations
of amino acids in the pollen, higher populations of adult bees
and lower rates of infection over the growing season. It was
concluded that nutritional stress is linked with the suppression
of the immune system making bees more vulnerable to disease
(Branchiccela et al, 2019).
This article is a reliable source because is was published in the
academic journal
Scientific Reports. This an open access journal and its
sources are used in policy documents. This journal has a
rigorous peer-review process because they partner with a large
network of experts in various fields.
This article will be helpful in the paper to explain one of the
Immunosuppressioncauses subsection to support by
colony collapse disorder is occurring. I will most likely use it to
transition into the expansion of agriculture, which is how I will

Article Three: Linking Agriculture, Nutrition, and Health: The
Role of the Registered Dietitian Nutritionist
An article published
The Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics summarized the
consensus among nutrition leaders on the role the profession of
dietetics should take in addressing sustainability and
environmental stewardship to achieve global nutrition capacity.
The goals of the conference were to identify areas where health
and nutrition interact with agriculture and what members can do
to strengthen efforts in sustainable agriculture. The panel of
experts also sought to find ways RDs can be involved in
initiatives that seek to increase availability of nutrient dense
food to improve nutrition interventions. And finally, to increase
the scope of practice by expanding curriculum to better educate
future professionals about the impact of agriculture. The
academy officially recognizes that dietitians have a
responsibility to promote sustainable farming and protect the
environment to ensure access to nutrient dense food to prevent
malnutrition and chronic disease. They also believe RDs can be
valuable assets in these efforts because of their unique skill set
in assessing equitable diets and nutrition intervention outcomes.
This article is reliable because it was published by
The Journal of Nutrition and Dietetics, the official
academic journal published by the largest professional
organization for registered dietitians in the United States. It is a
peer-reviewed journal that is published monthly for
professionals in the nutrition and dietetics fields. This article
can also be found on PubMed, the largest academic journal
database in the world.
This article will be important in the

4. ethical perspective of the paper where I will need to
establish the role of the dietitian in protecting biodiversity from
the Academy’s perspective. In this section will need to discuss
the role that the Academy, ACEND and CDR have decided to
take on this topic. This article establishes that the Academy has
the most progressive position in promoting the incorporation of
environmentalism of the three professional organizations. I will
need to review the competencies related to environmental
stewardship ACEND requires in dietetic programs and the
continuing education credits that CDR accepts related to
biodiversity, agriculture and sustainability.
