Beyond the Bite series: Biologicals – a glimpse into the future

Join us for the second webinar in ATSE’s Agriculture and Food Forum series, Biologicals – a multi-part series exploring the future of Australian food and agriculture, from nutrition and sustainability to biosolutions, productivity and value-added innovation.

‘Biologicals’ is the name for a suite of existing and novel crop protection and plant health tools that includes biopesticides (living, dead or derived natural products), biological agents such as natural enemies, and biofertilizers. In the second webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series, Biologicals – a glimpse into the future features a diverse panel spanning research, industry, end user and international experts unpacking both the promise and the practicalities of new bio products for agricultural productivity and safety. They will highlight opportunities and challenges across regulation, scalable manufacturing, cost and real-world adoption of biosolutions. Critically, the discussion will connect these innovations to the broader imperative of strengthening food and nutritional security, ensuring sustainable solutions can be delivered at scale for real impact on the ground.
