We are proud to announce that NextGenBioPest was represented by GreenLight Biosciences at Entomology 2024, held in Phoenix, Arizona. This prestigious event brought together over 3,600 entomology professionals, researchers, and innovators to exchange knowledge, collaborate, and showcase cutting-edge advancements in the field.
GreenLight Biosciences, a valued partner in the NextGenBioPest project, shares a deep commitment to sustainability and environmental stewardship. Their participation at Entomology 2024 highlighted not only their innovative work but also the vital role of NextGenBioPest in shaping a sustainable future for agriculture and pest management.
Addressing Critical Challenges with Innovation
As the world faces escalating environmental crises, the need for sustainable solutions has never been greater. GreenLight Biosciences is pioneering the development of RNA-based biocontrols—a transformative approach that enables precise pest management while preserving beneficial insects, soil health, and water quality. These innovations align seamlessly with NextGenBioPest’s mission to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides and promote environmentally friendly agriculture.
At Entomology 2024, GreenLight showcased how RNA-based solutions and regenerative biological processes can combat modern agricultural challenges, such as:
Soil degradation and the loss of arable land.
Environmental pollution from traditional chemical pesticides.
Declining populations of beneficial insects, including pollinators like honeybees.
A Commitment to Sustainability and Inclusion
GreenLight Biosciences also emphasized their dedication to equity, diversity, and inclusion in developing technologies that serve communities worldwide. Their vision for local production in Africa, Asia, and Latin America, coupled with innovative RNA manufacturing processes, underscores a commitment to equitable solutions that benefit farmers, consumers, and ecosystems alike.
NextGenBioPest’s Role in a Greener Future
The collaboration between GreenLight Biosciences and NextGenBioPest reflects a shared purpose: to provide farmers with targeted, sustainable tools that improve crop yields while protecting the planet. Through innovative research and transformative solutions, we are paving the way for a future where agriculture is not only productive but also regenerative.
We are grateful for GreenLight’s representation of NextGenBioPest at Entomology 2024 and look forward to continuing this vital work together.
