The goal will be to connect those looking to develop bio rational products with industry partners
The World BioProtection Forum (WBF) will host a free virtual webinar on October 12, 2021, for stakeholders, from across the agri tech sector to discuss the use of adjuvants and soil health in agriculture. The webinar is relevant to start-ups, SMEs, entrepreneurs, innovators, multinationals, academic institutions, research organisations and end-users.
A key goal is to connect those looking to develop bio rational products with industry partners who may be able to support the realisation of these products into commercial materials. Experts in the field will connect with the stakeholders in the bio protection sector to discuss how to overcome the challenges.
Dr Minshad Ansari, Chairman, WBF said, “There are numerous challenges with formulating crop protection products, and the agri tech sector has developed numerous adjuvants for enhanced persistency, penetration, UV protection, wetting, etc, but for bio protection products these solutions also need to be biocompatible. To bring bio protection products to market in a practical, usable form, ‘collaboration for innovation is key – if we can connect the bio protection sector, we can help advance the industry by providing products that are practical to use, and work in the field as well as in the lab.”
Professor Shashi Sharma, President, WBFsaid, “In the 21st century, our focus must be on soil health and the underpinning microbiome to explore and discover the winners that will enable us to transform the unsustainable global food production systems to sustainable systems.”
