Announcing The Winners Of The World
BioProtection Awards 2022!

Established to celebrate achievements across the biocontrol and biological agriculture, the World BioProtection Awards this week acknowledged some of our sector’s finest innovations at a stylish gala dinner at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham, UK.
 
An eminent group of more than 20 expert judges had previously identified a shortlist of 38 finalists from 32 different organisations. Competition throughout the judging process was intense, and made the job of choosing the final winners a very difficult task across all ten categories. We would like to congratulate all finalists, and thank everyone who nominated innovations, projects and individuals for these distinguished awards.
