Pests and diseases pose a major threat to food production, jeopardising food security and livelihoods.

Fortunately, biocontrol technologies are tried and tested solutions that effectively deal with pests and disease ensuring farmers are productive and profitable.

The theme on World Food Day 2024 is “right to foods for a better life and a better future.’’

We can help achieve this by;

  • Financially and intellectually supporting farmers in the transition to resilient agriculture
  • Fast-tracking biocontrol authorisation processes and alleviating bureaucratic burdens on biocontrol innovators, allowing us to get essential biocontrol solutions to farmers faster
  • Teaching people to eat better (safe, sufficient, indigenous food)
  • Developing policies that reward farmers and innovators working with nature and thereby preserving our biodiversity and natural ecosystems.

Working with nature, biocontrol solutions specifically target the pest, do not harm the crop, work against pest resistance and leave no residue.

By rewarding farmers for using nature-friendly solutions such as biocontrol, we can help ensure farming within planetary boundaries is productive and profitable.

Biocontrol for a better life and a better future
