The report reviews the rising demand for environmentally-friendly
biological crop protection products that support sustainable agriculture

Edison Investment Research, the London-based investment research and advisory company, has released Feeding the World: Biological Products for Sustainable Crop Protection, a research report that details the rising demand for alternatives to broad-spectrum conventional pesticides. The paper presents exciting advances in biological pesticide technologies—such as RNA interference-based biopesticides—and discusses the growing investment interest in environmentally friendly crop protection products that support sustainable agriculture.

The report includes the discussion of companies such as Bayer, GreenLight Biosciences, Monsanto (acquired by Bayer in 2018), Renaissance BioScience, Syngenta, and others that are working on environmentally friendly innovations in the rapid-growth area of biological crop protection and biopesticides.

“The United Nations’ second sustainable development goal is to eliminate hunger globally and improving agricultural yields through the continued application of sustainable crop protection products will be key to achieving this goal,” said Anne Margaret Crow, Director TMT/Industrials, Edison.
