Molecular Farming Plant Molecular Farming
Plant molecular farming (PMF) is the use of plants in agriculture for the production of
novel compounds rather than for the production of food or livestock feed. Potential novel
compounds include pharmaceuticals, diagnostic products, vaccines, biologics, industrial
chemicals, biodegradable plastics, etc. To date, no PNT intended for PMF has been granted
authorization for its commercial cultivation in the Canadian environment.
