Seed World Europe – Issue 3 – 2023

The long-awaited draft regulation for new genomic techniques (NGTs) is out. Almost five years after we thought the European Court of Justice carried EU plant breeding innovation to the grave, the EU Commission published its proposal for this regulation. We now have at least an idea of where we’re heading on this contentious topic. However, there is a huge risk that this (again) becomes politicised. NGO’s will likely make the regulatory process so incredibly complex and expensive that only those with the deepest pockets will be able to afford to create new and better varieties with gene-editing. Isn’t it better to have a wide variety of organizations that can help mitigate climate change and population increase by creating better and climate-proof varieties? Let’s make sure they can, and let’s not block this opportunity. We need all the help we can get.

Seed World Europe – Issue 2 – 2023

Ten years ago, we started with a new magazine for the European seed sector, and we didn’t know if it was going to work. Now, a decade later, we can safely say that it clearly serves a purpose, fills a gap, and has earned its place. In the 34 printed issues that have come out so far, we have filled close to 1,750 pages of content, informing a broad range of readers. And from the website analytics we know that our articles are read, not just in Europe, but all over the globe. Also in this issue, our annual ’20 Most’ list, this year with the ‘20 Most Inspiring Gen Z employees in the EU seed sector in 2022’. Check out the issue and find out what makes this generation tick, and how they think about plant breeding and the seed sector.

Seed World Canada – January 2022

This edition takes a look at China — its seed industry, and how Canada’s trade relationship with Beijing is, well, complicated, to say the least. We also look at why Seeds Canada has initiated an industry-wide stakeholder summit on the future of seed in Canada; we examine the GMO image problem and why it exists; and we ask NRGene why they decided to bring their innovative genomics technologies to Canada. Oh, and we bring you the latest on soybean cyst nematode research.
