How do we demonstrate the safety of biocontrol agents in ways that reflect their biological nature and behaviour, using evidence that is truly relevant to how they act?

How do we frame biocontrol agents clearly enough to fit within todayβs regulatory framework, yet flexibly enough to ensure theyβre assessed on their own biological terms, not by chemical-era rules?
