Enabling sustainable crop protection with induced resistance in plants
Explore how induced resistance in plants can help reduce pesticide use, increase crop resilience, and boost crop quality.
This event builds on a Frontiers in Science lead article that outlines technologies to enhance plants' natural immune systems, as part of a sustainable strategy to protect crops against pests and pathogens. This approach reduces reliance on excessive use of pesticides and can help control emerging pests and diseases—with the co-benefit of improving food quality.
You’ll hear from the article authors and other experts on how further research, stronger regulatory support, and economic incentives are key next steps for the widespread adoption of induced resistance technologies.
You’ll also have the chance to pose questions during the audience Q&A.
