We are excited to invite you to an upcoming webinar presented by Fleur Fenijn, a program support officer for the CABI BioProtection Portal.
The CABI BioProtection Portal is the world's largest free directory of registered biological crop protection products, searchable by crop and pest. Available in 15 languages and nearly 50 countries, including Canada, the Portal increases accessibility to biological products, which can help to reduce pesticide resistance, minimize toxic residues, and promote better soil health. This presentation will focus on the search engine tool and the educational resources area, helping growers and agrologists identify, source, and apply sustainable solutions to combat agricultural pests.

What to Expect:

• An overview of CABI and its mission
• A tour of the CABI BioProtection Portal
• Demonstration of the search engine tool and educational resources
• Q&A session with Fleur
