Transforming agriculture by redefining pest control

Resistant pests: a growing crisis

More than 500 insect species have been reported as resistant to conventional pesticides and while more than 3 million tons of pesticides are used globally for their control, only 1% reach their target. Shockingly, 30% of the global food production is lost due to resistant pests.

Our value proposition

Phora Biosciences is inspired by nature to develop new solutions for controlling resistant pests, driving us toward a sustainable and flourishing future for agriculture.

  • We employ computational tools with machine learning models to engineer natural toxins and optimize interactions

  • Then, we engineer microorganisms to produce the newly designed insecticidal molecules.

  • As a result, our platform generates easily-scalable and cost-efficient technologies, allowing healthier farming.
