“…This is exemplified by the recent emergence of pheromone biotechnology companies such as BioPhero and Provivi. With many nations outlining strategies to develop their bioeconomies, innovation in biomanufacturing that will increase the feasibility of commercial scale production looks set to increase (Kuckertz, 2020 ). Further, the application of synthetic biology to plant metabolic engineering provides the opportunity for novel deployment strategies such as living biodispensers (Kemp et al ., 2020 ).…”

Summary Arthropod crop pests are responsible for 20% of global annual crop losses, a figure predicted to increase in a changing climate where the ranges of numerous species are projected to expand. At the same time, many insect species are beneficial, acting as pollinators and predators of pest species. For thousands of years, humans have used increasingly sophisticated chemical formulations to control insect pests but, as the scale of agriculture expanded to meet the needs of the global population, concerns about the negative impacts of agricultural practices on biodiversity have grown. While biological solutions, such as biological control agents and pheromones, have previously had relatively minor roles in pest management, biotechnology has opened the door to numerous new approaches for controlling insect pests. In this review, we look at how advances in synthetic biology and biotechnology are providing new options for pest control. We discuss emerging technologies for engineering resistant crops and insect populations and examine advances in biomanufacturing that are enabling the production of new products for pest control.

Digital Echelons and Interfaces within Value Chains: End-to-End Marketing and Logistics Integration

et al. 2021

The goals of real business in the context of the digital transformation of international logistics networks and marketing channels have necessitated the application of a scientifically based theoretical approach to the development of a formalized description acceptable for predictive planning based on leading indicators. In the context of globalization and interstate and regional economic unions, this will lead to achieving the maximum end-to-end integration of digital platforms. Based on the analysis, the article presents the integration of digital logistics and marketing approaches with the mathematical models of the ecosystem organization of economic relations. The features of the organization of economic relations between contractors involved in the execution of virtual transactions and the material movement of resources were analyzed. The researchers considered prerequisites for the analytical description of interconnections between the participants of digital platforms in cross border e-commerce. The authors’ approach is based on the idea of both a sales funnel in marketing and a conversion funnel in digital transformation. Considering the integration of logistics and marketing, authors offer the definition of business echelons as stages of the consumer value creation. The theoretical contribution of this article consists in constructing a mathematical description of business echelons along the entire value chain. The developed analytical description of business echelons is acceptable both for embedding a digital management support system into various software products, and for conducting in-depth analysis and finding optimal solutions.

“…For instance, Brazil's Amazon Biotechnology Center (CBA), is developing a biotechnology cluster in the city of Manaus, state of Amazonas, bringing together biotech companies and biotech startups that use local inputs and products to develop biotech products. These developments point to a new momentum in Latin America's biotech industry, one that holds the potential to create cycles of virtuous innovation in the region, and promote additional business opportunities (Kuckertz, 2020; Rodriguez et al, 2019; Rodriguez et al, 2020; Skirycz, Kierszniowska, Méret, Willmitzer, & Tzotzos, 2016; Varas, 2019).…”

In 2020, Latin American economies are facing a number of challenges and opportunities derived from regional and global events. Latin American economies have a number of factors and components to positioned and warrant these economies amongst one of the world's fastest growing regions. However, for the last four decades, the region has shown a weak and volatile economic performance, with periods of booms and busts. This paper assesses the region's main challenges and opportunities on its quest towards implementing an inclusive, equitable, competitive, and sustainable economy and society.
