More than anything, we strive to work with live species that hinder the damaging effects of plagues like thrips or control fungi infestaions. We actually use products that cause no harm to human beings as for example for controlling thrips we actually use lactobacillus found in products such as pickles (Lactobaillus Plantarum) and yogurt (Lactobacillus Acidophilus). The way I've seen it through my experience in the company, I believe that this is the way to go in the future as products like these do not rely on potentially dangerous genetic modifications of plants which if handled improperly could have negative consequences. I think people would be more open to the kind of developments that we have in our company (and in general make crops healthier for us) as people would at most be exposed to organisms that body consumes and/or produces and thus innocuous.
