The BioPesTY project aims to produce pyrethrins, natural insecticides, using engineered baker's yeast. This biotechnological approach seeks to provide a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides, addressing environmental concerns while ensuring safe pest control.
Chemical pesticides pose significant threats to human health and biodiversity, causing millions of poisonings and deaths annually, along with a potential 40% decline in insect species.
To mitigate these hazards, the European Commission has committed to reduce the use of chemical pesticides by 50% by 2030.
Biopesticides, such as pyrethrins, offer a safe and effective alternative towards this direction.
Pyrethrins are natural, biodegradable compounds with potent insecticidal properties produced by…
