Seed Association: the European seed industry is at the forefront in breeding

The European seed industry has a leading role in the breeding of varieties and annual yield could be increased by 15 percent to 22 million tons with breedings and developments in wheat – the Seed Association Interprofessional Organization and Marketing Board (VSZT) told MTI on Tuesday.

According to the statement of the Seed Association summarizing the European Seed Association’s conference, over the next 30 years the world's population will reach 10 billion and this poses the greatest challenge to the world's food supply system, so targeted breeding and production innovations will come to the fore. The biggest question is how seed production can adapt to the ever-increasing demands. (MTI)
