b'The seed industry is at an all-time high for innovation. Incredible new technologies and products are being launched across the seed industry value chain. Thats great news, both for the seed industry and society as a whole since the seed industry is front and center on tackling major global challenges from food security to sustainable land use to climate change. In November, we put out our third annual call for themost innovative new products of the year. Once again,we were impressed and inspired by the breadth and depth of response. Choosing which products move the innovation needle furthest proved a real challenge. To be considered for our list, products must directly relate to and directly impact the seed industry, be unique, and have been launched during the 2023 calendar year.From there, we judged applications based on:- Whats the products market potential?-Whats the return on investment and benefit tothe grower / seed value chain?-What impacts does the product make to societyas a whole?- Does the product solve a problem or meet a need in a new, creative, innovative way?- How scalable is the product?We are delighted to showcase the following exciting innovations of 2023!
