Pollination and human food security

All consumers, including humans, depend on producers because they make all of the food for the rest of the food chain. Plants produce edible seeds and fruits after pollination (transfer pollen from the anthers of flowers to the stigma). Many plants depend on animals such as insects to pollinate them, and on animals such as birds to disperse their seeds. Because of food chains and pollination, producers and consumers are interdependent. Pollinators are important, ensuring there is food security for humans (having enough food to feed the human population).
