The World BioProtection Forum is asking regulators, academics, environmentalists, farmers, together with the biocontrol industry, to back regulatory reforms that embrace innovation in bioprotecion for biological crop protection in sustainable agriculture.

The World BioProtection Forum (WBF) conference Bringing Biopesticide Regulatory Reform to UK Parliament, taking place in London on 5th September 2023, is the culmination of the WBF’s campaign for global regulatory reform. Once sensible reforms have been achieved in a competent authority, this case can be used to encourage further reforms in other regions (e.g. the EU).

As a result of the WBF’s campaign, the UK Government has already declared (see here), “We plan to review regulatory processes and data requirements to identify where approvals and permissions for biopesticides can be made simpler and speedier.” The conference on 5th September provides experts from industry with the opportunity to meet with key ministers, policy makers and department representatives to ensure that these ongoing reviews and reforms align with industry requirements.

This is a significant moment in our industry’s history, as a competent authority finally listens to the needs of the bioprotection sector. The WBF is doing everything it can to explain the rationale and urgent requirement for regulatory reform, to those people who can finally make these things happen.
