About SenseUP

Global food production has a $590 billion problem. *

Pests and pathogens cause massive crop and livestock losses while widely-used chemical pesticides are environmentally damaging and increasingly ineffective.

SenseUP’s mission is to protect global plant and animal agriculture with our sustainable eco-friendly dsRNA actives, that are as effective, affordable and easy to use as conventional chemical products.

*Based on FAO figures of 220 billion for plant diseases, 70 billion for invasive insects and 300 billion in animal disease
