Informing policy: The role of RNAi-based biopesticides in sustainable agriculture is a virtual international symposium hosted by Charles Sturt University.
The symposium will bring together experts from research, government, industry and policy to examine the scientific, regulatory and practical dimensions of RNAi-based biopesticides. The program will support discussion on how policy and regulatory frameworks can respond to innovation while maintaining confidence, safety and transparency.
This is not a standard academic conference. It is a policy-focused international dialogue designed to support informed exchange across jurisdictions and sectors.
The symposium aims to:
The symposium is intended for:
RNAi-based biopesticides represent a rapidly evolving area of agricultural innovation with significant implications for sustainability, food security and future regulatory frameworks.
As technologies advance internationally, coordinated dialogue between science, policy and industry is increasingly important to support evidence-informed regulatory approaches and international harmonisation.
