Platform10 is an international, multi-year collaboration that will accelerate promising biopesticide companies, rigorously assess products, enhance grower confidence, and facilitate market development and adoption.
Platform10 emerged from the 2023 Salinas Biological Summit which saw stakeholders from a wide range of the specialty crop industry, (outside the US, defined as vegetables, fruits, nuts & organics), meet and discuss the rapidly emerging landscape for biological products.
