Product Development

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.

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
