The Hub aims to develop and commercialise an innovative biological alternative to chemical fungicides targeting economically significant diseases of broadacre and horticultural crops. It addresses industry challenges of fungicide resistance, chemical residues in food, off-target effects and environmental harm. It builds on ground-breaking ‘BioClay’ platform to deliver pathogen targeting RNA using clay particles as non-genetically modified crop protection. An expert multidisciplinary team uniting science, commercial and social licence pathways ensures industry and consumer uptake advancing $60B Australian Agriculture. The Hub translates to increased productivity, market access and enhanced environmental credentials of Australian food.

该中心的目标是开发一种创新的生物替代化学杀菌剂，并将其商业化，目标是防治阔叶林和园艺作物的重大经济疾病。它解决了杀菌剂耐药性、食品中的化学残留、偏离目标的影响和环境危害等行业挑战。它建立在突破性的“BioClay”平台上，使用粘土颗粒作为非转基因作物保护来传递针对RNA的病原体。一个专家多学科团队联合了科学、商业和社会许可途径，确保了行业和消费者的接受，推动了600亿美元的澳大利亚农业。Hub意味着澳大利亚食品生产率的提高、市场准入和环境资质的提高。
