Since its inception in 1924, the International Seed Federation (ISF) has been a leader in the global seed sector and agriculture. Over the past century, the organization has worked tirelessly to promote sustainable agriculture and food security worldwide.
The ISF began as a small group of seed traders and has since grown to include members from over 70 countries. Through its focus on innovation and quality, the organization has set high standards for seed testing and plant breeding, transforming the industry and providing farmers with access to top-quality seeds.
As part of its centennial celebrations, the ISF will be hosting a global conference that features experts in biotechnology and sustainable farming practices. Additionally, a publication detailing the organization’s impact on agriculture will be published to showcase its journey through a century of agricultural challenges and successes.
Looking towards the future, the ISF remains committed to embracing new technologies and promoting international collaboration. By ensuring that farmers worldwide have access to the best and most resilient seed varieties, the organization is laying the groundwork for continued growth and prosperity in the coming century.
Seed World will be covering the ISF Congress, so if you are attending the event be sure to say hello to Seed World’s Shawn Brook and Marcel Bruins.
