We contribute to the fight against insecticidal resistance

Growing insecticide resistance poses a serious threat to malaria vector control. Sustaining effective prevention requires ongoing research and the development of innovative active ingredients to overcome resistance and strengthen existing tools. Landcent’s Active Ingredient Discovery Project is designed to meet this challenge and drive next-generation solutions.

We prioritize biosafety through indigenous knowledge

Efforts to document local biological classifications and associated traditional knowledge of biopesticides are time-bound and critical to fight vectors, while maintaining biosafety. Landcent works with local scientists and institutions, without judgement and bias, for the best possible outcomes, protecting the rights of all participants.
