Problem
In the context of global warming, the emergence of new crop pests is exacerbated. As a consequence, there is an increase in the use of agrochemicals to control them, which in turn fuels pollution and climate change. Along with herbicides and fertilizers, synthetic pesticides are among the agrochemicals that harm not only the environment but also the health of exposed individuals, including farmers, rural populations, and consumers.
