Cover Story: Flower strips can be an important component of integrated pest management and contribute to reducing the pressure on agroecosystems, as well as preventing the decline of species diversity in the agroecosystem and increasing functional biodiversity, which is a prerequisite for the provision of ecosystem services, such as pollination and natural pest control. This paper provides a record of the most important information and research findings regarding flower strips and may be a useful tool in relation to the European Green Deal, which aims to move the EU towards a green transformation.  Where intensive chemical treatments in agriculture have contributed to the degradation of the agricultural landscape, flower strips can now support its ecological intensification.
