On June 23-24, Salinas will once again be hosting the annual Salinas Biological Summit. The Summit brings together key stakeholders including growers, PCAs, researchers, policymakers/regulators, agribusinesses, agritech companies & investors looking to accelerate the research, commercialization and adoption of biological products.
As regulators remove traditional chemical pesticides from the grower’s toolbox, the need to find alternative inputs becomes ever more important. Managing pests and disease can be a major casualty of reduced access to traditional chemistries. Identifying and scaling biopesticide solutions which have proven efficacy and provide economic benefit to the grower, is a major outcome of the annual Summit.
In June, we’ll once again be joined by leading domestic and international experts in the field. For this 2026 edition of the Summit, we’ve invited a number of significant sector leaders from Brazil to share their insights and experiences as to why Brazil has become the Gold Standard for designing accelerated regulatory pathways and securing significant grower adoption of biological products. What can California and the rest of the world learn from these lessons?
Biological startups are invited once again to apply to join the two Summit Start-up Pitch events. One is focused on Biopesticides. The other on Biostimulants. Interested startups should email their EOI to platform10@salinas-summit.com
This annual event will once again provide delegates with two days of high-value content and numerous networking opportunities. A large delegation of international visitors will provide additional insights into best global practice.
