    What is it all about?

    This project will deliver a comprehensive global scan of emerging crop protection technologies to help Australian plant industries prepare for a future where traditional chemical options are increasingly constrained. 
    With growing regulatory pressure, rising resistance to existing pesticides and changing market expectations, the project will identify innovative, safe and sustainable alternatives that can support productivity, profitability and environmental stewardship.

    Led by Wine Australia on behalf of the Plant Biosecurity Research Initiative (PBRI), the project will assess emerging pest and disease management technologies that are not yet registered or available in Australia. This will include biologicals, genetic tools, digital platforms, mechanical innovations, novel delivery systems and low-risk chemical options. Each technology area will be assessed for its maturity, scalability, feasibility and relevance to Australian plant industries.

    The project will also explore the regulatory, commercial and technical barriers that may prevent Australian growers from accessing these solutions. Through stakeholder engagement, structured analysis and international case studies, it will identify practical examples of how other countries and industries have overcome similar barriers and successfully supported adoption.

    The final Global Scan Report will provide clear, evidence-based recommendations for research and development corporations, industry and government. It will outline priority technologies, investment opportunities, policy and advocacy needs, and potential adoption pathways for Australian plant industries. By translating global insights into practical recommendations, the project will support more coordinated investment and help growers access innovative crop protection solutions sooner.
