The ARC Research Hub for Sustainable Crop Protection will bring RNA-based bio-pesticides to agriculture, resulting in reduced chemical inputs, increased crop productivity, green credentials, sustainability, market access and capacity building, all of which will contribute to a more profitable and competitive food and agribusiness sector. As part of the Hub, this project investigates existing policy and regulatory frameworks with the aim of underscoring the right policy settings and enabling environments required for RNA-based bio-pesticides to gain traction in the marketplace.
