GreenLight Bio
Cost-Effective RNA Pesticides
Agricultural pests lead to more than $100 billion annually in global crop loss. Traditional pesticides work, but negatively impact the soil, water, and beneficial pollinators. Greenlight has developed RNAi pesticides that selectively target specific pests, leaving the crop unchanged and unharmed.
Greenlight’s RNAi technology can be deployed cheaply and at scale; their first program targeting the Colorado Potato Beetle has finished field trials and is being evaluated for approval by the EPA.
