European Union (EU) and global sustainability policies emphasize the need to replace contentious pesticides with safe, efficient, and cost-effective alternatives to ensure sustainable food production. However, R&D for alternatives to contentious pesticides are lagging behind and need to be broadened. Here, we discuss how RNAi-based technology can contribute to pesticide risk reduction.

基于 RNAi 的技术是否符合欧盟可持续发展目标？

欧盟 (EU) 和全球可持续发展政策强调需要用安全、高效和具有成本效益的替代品取代有争议的农药，以确保可持续的粮食生产。然而，有争议的农药替代品的研发滞后，需要扩大。在这里，我们讨论基于 RNAi 的技术如何有助于降低农药风险。
