The Encouraging Growth Of Biopesticides and How They Can Benefit Global Agriculture
In this episode I am joined by Mark Davis, a highly respected Senior Business Manager with a strong track record of leading and delivering sustainability programmes and initiatives. Mark studied as an ecologist, becoming fascinated by it when he discovered it was less about recycling plastic bottles, and more about how everything around us is interconnected. He became particularly interested in the impacts of agricultural activities on the environment around them.
Join us for a brilliant discussion on biopesticides - a market that is growing around 6 times faster than its chemical based counterpart and how removing toxic chemicals from mainstream use might have more benefits than you would first think.
We discuss how the use of biopesticides can encourage healthier soil - leading to more resilient crops; how using biopesticides tends to lead to an entirely different mindset, and how they could even help to reduce the number of deaths from suicide.
