1 · What it gives

Genetically engineered vaccines are made by cloning and expressing protective antigen genes with recombinant DNA technology. The R&D path for genetically engineered animal vaccines runs from basic and laboratory research through intermediate testing and environmental release to registration. Commercialised products have been available in China since at least 2016 (SA215) and 2019 (MVAV6203).

2 · What it replaces 6

D1Recovered phosphorus (struvite and other recovered phosphates from biological wastewater and digester streams) instead of fertilizer made from cadmium-bearing phosphate rock
Replaces: A share of DAP/MAP/superphosphate made from mined phosphate rock; chemical P-removal with iron and aluminium salts at treatment plants …
AGROCHEM
D2Poultry coccidiosis control with live Eimeria vaccines (and phytogenic support) instead of continuous in-feed ionophores and chemical coccidiostats
Replaces: Ionophore coccidiostats (monensin, salinomycin, narasin, lasalocid, maduramicin, semduramicin) and chemical anticoccidials (nicarbazin, …
VET
D1Biochar made by clean pyrolysis of crop, forestry and processing residues — used as a soil amendment and sold as durable carbon removal — instead of open burning, dumping or landfilling of those residues
Replaces: Open burning of straw, husks, shells and prunings; dumping and landfilling of processing residues; traditional earth-kiln charcoal making …
AGROCHEM
D1Constructed (treatment) wetlands for villages, farms, small towns and stormwater — instead of chemical precipitation, chlorination of effluent, or discharge of untreated wastewater
Replaces: Chlorination of small-plant effluents (chlorinated by-products), chemical phosphorus precipitation with iron/aluminium salts at small scale, …
SERV
D2Disease-resistant crop varieties (marker-assisted breeding, stacked resistance genes, cisgenesis) instead of routine fungicide spray programmes
Replaces: Season-long protective fungicide programmes on susceptible varieties — e.g. 10–20 sprays of mancozeb/chlorothalonil/metalaxyl against potato …
SEED
D1Soil-biodegradable mulch films (certified to EN 17033: starch/PLA/PBAT/PHA blends) and paper/organic mulches — instead of conventional polyethylene (PE) mulch films that fragment into soil microplastics
Replaces: Non-degradable low-density polyethylene mulch films (and so-called "oxo-degradable" films, banned in the EU since 2021)
