Microbial biopesticides: A one health perspective on benefits and risks by Panqin Cai, George Dimopoulos

“…This narrative review examines the benefits and risks of microbial biopesticides from a One Health perspective, focusing on the Americas and Europe, and aligned with respective SDGs.The value of biopesticides in sustainable agriculture and integrated pest management (IPM) approaches for food security, particularly SDG 2 (Zero Hunger) and SDG 1 (No Poverty) has been widely recognized, with relatively fewer adverse effects to people and the environment than synthetic pesticides. With increased demand and usage, microbial biopesticides can be expected to contribute further to additional SDGs such as SDG 12 (responsible consumption and production) through waste recycling for biopesticide production and remediation of polluted ecosystems, and by reducing vector-borne disease burdens such as malaria and dengue. …”
