Drawing on discussions at the 2026 RNAi Symposium, I reflect on advances in RNA-based crop protection and the next priorities for the field, from functional delivery and reliable field performance to regulatory science, manufacturing, and practical value for growers.

Agricultural RNA is moving beyond individual products toward a broader technology platform. This article explores how advances in biology, delivery, manufacturing, regulation, and precision agriculture are shaping the next chapter of RNA innovation.

农业 RNA 不再只是一类新农药。从 microRNA 到工程微生物、包封递送，RNA 正在成为一个不断产生新产品的技术平台，竞争也从"谁拥有最好的分子"转向"谁能构建最好的系统"。

A technology platform is not yet a regulatory product. Defining the active ingredient, formulation, use pattern, and intended claim early helps teams anticipate evidence needs and avoid costly development changes.

Reflections from Plant Health 2026 and the AgriBusiness Global Trade Summit on what it takes to turn promising agricultural science into products that create real value in the field.

Great products are not the result of scientific discovery alone. They are built through a product mindset that combines scientific excellence with thoughtful decisions, multidisciplinary collaboration, and continuous learning throughout development.

Over the years in my career, I have been fortunate to work at the intersection of science, agriculture, and innovation. I grew up on a farm and that early experience shaped how I think about agriculture. It taught me that innovation only matters when it can work reliable in the field and creat real values for farmers. Years later, I became a scientist. Along the way, I had the opportunity to work on a wide range of technologies, from plant biotechnology and gene editing to RN

I recently returned from BioEx 2026, and it was an energizing and thought-provoking experience. Over two days at the event, I had the opportunity to listen, share, and engage in meaningful conversations with scientists, industry leaders, and innovators across the biological crop protection space. The diversity of technologies and the openness in discussing future challenges stood out to me the most. What stayed with me were not only the formal sessions and panels, but also th
