Our aspiration
We believe that Europe’s seed sector has a responsibility to, and must play a role in, securing Europe’s own food demands and contributing to the world’s food supply.
Our challenge
The demand for food is likely to grow by 50% with the global population rising to almost 10 billion by 2050*. How can we increase agricultural output without using more land and natural resources?
Our response
Plant breeding is a major driver to secure the availability of food by increasing and stabilising yields, enhancing shelf-life to reduce food waste, and strengthening resistance to plant diseases, insects and climatic stress, and with that reducing crop loss.
