WBF conference could be catalyst for global regulatory reform in bioprotection The World BioProtection Forum (WBF) hosted an exclusive conference, Bringing Pesticide Regulatory Reform to UK Parliament, at the Palace of Westminster on 5th September 2023. Attended by Lords, Members of Parliament (MPs), policy influencers and industry leaders, it was widely agreed that there is a need for regulatory reforms in the bioprotection sector. As any changes in the UK may resonate throughout the world, this conference could be a catalyst for global reforms, which the industry has been requesting for the past 30 years. This was an encouraging outcome, although there is still work to be done, as outlined in this overview.
