CAPDA drives biopesticide innovation and shapes the future of sustainable global agriculture
CAPDA gathered global experts in China to accelerate biopesticide innovation and position green agriculture at the center of industry transformation.
CAPDA brought together more than 200 global experts from June 20 to 22, 2025, in Ningbo, China, to discuss advances in biopesticide development, highlighting their growing role in driving sustainable and efficient global agriculture.
CAPDA highlights next-generation biological solutions
Experts at the conference presented breakthroughs in microbial formulations, RNA-based biopesticides, and the biosynthesis of fungal polypeptides and natural products, showcasing the next wave of crop protection innovation.
These technologies are increasingly seen as essential tools to reduce environmental impact while maintaining productivity in modern farming systems.
CAPDA led the 15th Biological Pesticide Development and Application Conference in Ningbo, China, from June 20 to 22, 2025, reinforcing its role as a global driver of innovation, international collaboration, and the transition toward sustainable agriculture.
CAPDA outlines strategic pathways for industry growth
CAPDA leadership emphasized four key development directions: advancing core technologies such as nanomaterials, improving regulatory frameworks, expanding international collaboration, and scaling smart application systems in agriculture.
Industry experts also stressed the need to shift from imitation-driven development toward original innovation ecosystems, aligned with long-term ecological security strategies.
AI integration reshapes crop protection strategies
A major focus was the integration of artificial intelligence into plant protection, including applications in intelligent pest monitoring, early warning systems, and advanced biological control methods.
This convergence allows for more precise and proactive crop management, enhancing both sustainability and efficiency.
CAPDA strengthens China's leadership in global agriculture
The conference reinforced China's position as a global leader, supplying more than 60% of the world's pesticide demand while accelerating the transition toward biological solutions and smart technologies.
As regulatory pressure increases and sustainability becomes a priority, biopesticides are emerging as a strategic pillar, with CAPDA playing a central role in connecting innovation, industry, and global cooperation.
