Micropep, a France-based biotechnology company focused on biological crop protection, has entered into a long-term research partnership with CortevaAgriscience, one of the leading global agriculture companies. This collaboration aims to develop new, environmentally friendly biocontrol products for farmers worldwide.
At the core of this partnership is Micropep’s innovative use of short natural peptides—tiny molecules that can target specific genes in plants and pests. These peptides are designed to degrade rapidly in the environment, offering a safer alternative to conventional chemical pesticides and reducing unintended effects on surrounding ecosystems.
By combining Micropep’s expertise in precision biological tools with Corteva’s global reach and agricultural research strength, the collaboration seeks to bring new solutions to market that are not only effective but also aligned with the principles of sustainable farming. Both organizations emphasize the importance of promoting biodiversity, reducing chemical usage, and supporting long-term agricultural resilience.
This research partnership reflects a broader industry trend toward more sustainable and precise crop protection approaches, helping to shape the future of global agriculture.
