Resistant seeds will become more sought after due to climate change
Although Hungarian farmers are still looking primarily for plant varieties with higher yields and good quality, in the long run, demand may shift towards seeds that are more tolerant of changed climatic conditions – Magyar Nemzet Online wrote. The weather extremes are also giving the domestic seed producers a lesson, but the breeders are already working hard to make the varieties of the future more resistant.
Climate change is increasingly challenging the world’s food production. Although changing climatic conditions have an impact on almost all sectors of agriculture, seed production is particularly vulnerable to extremes. (mno.hu, Köpöncei Csilla)
