50 Investible Opportunities for a New Nature Economy Supplementary Appendix 2026

22 Biopesticides are natural pest control agents that enhance crop resilience, reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, and support sustainable, regenerative agriculture. – Yield preservation and regenerative practices : Biopesticides increase or maintain yields by reducing crop losses to pests. – Improved water quality: Less chemical run - off and residue preserves ecological functioning of water bodies.

New strains and formulations are growing the market. – Less capital intensive than chemical plants: Some investment in fermentation or extraction facilities and R&D and registration required . – Financing suitability characteristics: Commercial loans and thematic bonds are well suited to established biopesticide producers. Manufacturing facilities generally are moderately capital intensive, supporting the use of project finance or debt financing. Sustainability - linked loans are increasingly important when tied to verified environmental outcomes such as reduced synthetic pesticide use and improved ecosystem health. Smaller or early - stage producers may benefit from blended finance approaches, potentially in partnership with upstream/downstream actors, to share risks and accelerate adoption.– Revenue potential from agribusinesses: Biopesticides provide yield, and quality gains and supports organic farming practices. – Moderate upfront capital needs: Less capital intensive than synthetic chemical plants, but production requires specialized facilities Negative impact Positive impact Financing target Manufacturers Agri, Food & Forestry Chemicals, Plastics & Pharma Construction Materials Energy Mining Technology Transportation & Logistics Cross - sectoral Automotive Fashion & Textiles Leisure Waste Management Metals & Steel Conditions Matches quality and efficacy of synthetic pesticides Financial impact Revenue increase✓ Opex reduction – Capex reduction – Biopesticides FINANCING THE NATURE - POSITIVE TRANSITION
