Seed companies have played a pivotal role in overcoming many of these challenges by breeding for rapid emergence, disease resistance, herbicide tolerance and the ability to adapt to cool soils. Additionally, developing crops for different growing regions where they previously would not be productive has given farmers a large portfolio of seeds to choose from that will thrive in no-till situations and allow for solid crop rotations

Why Does Europe Struggle to Get a New Seed Law That Still Works for Breeders and Farmers?

The current legislation has been the successful enabler of a thriving seed sector and guardian of farmers’’ access to the best possible seed across species, markets and final uses.
