Membership Requirements

BioProtection Global (BPG) is a federation of regional and national bioprotection (biocontrol/biopesticide) associations. BPG exists to give a global voice to regional and national associations whose members engage in the development and/or manufacture of bioprotection technologies as well as to give stakeholders seeking information and communication on bioprotection a clear line of communication to bioprotection contacts around the world.

Membership Application
