Rice Breeding is Becoming a Game of Tradoffs

|
By Aimee Nielson
| Seed World Verified
Modern breeding programs face growing pressure to increase yield, improve quality, reduce environmental impacts and remain globally competitive all at the same time. Rice feeds more people than any other crop on Earth, supplying roughly one-fifth of all calories consumed globally and serving as a staple food for more than half the world’s population. Yet breeding better rice varieties is becoming increasingly complicated.

De la Semilla a la Variedad: Guía Para Mujeres que Comienzan en el Fitomejoramiento

|
By Enid Perez-Lara
| Seed World Verified
Tengo una fe enorme en la próxima generación de mujeres que empiezan su camino en el mejoramiento vegetal. El verano pasado di una charla a un grupo de estudiantes universitarios y salí con un descubrimiento que no esperaba: muchas de aquellas jóvenes tenían clarísimo lo que querían, sabían lo que debían hacer para conseguirlo y veían el prejuicio y la desigualdad como un vestigio de otras generaciones.

She Knows What She Wants: Advice For Women Entering Plant Breeding

|
By Enid Perez-Lara
| Seed World Verified
I have tremendous faith in the next generation of women who are just beginning their journeys to become plant breeders. When I gave a talk to a group of university students last summer, I found that many of the young women who attended were secure in what they want, what they need to do to get it, and see bias and inequality as a relic of prior generations.

What Happens Abroad Doesn’t Stay Abroad: Why Global Seed Systems Matter at Home

|
By Lulu Rodriguez
| Seed World Verified
For many seed industry executives, global seed systems can seem far removed from day-to-day business realities. If your customers are corn growers in Iowa, soybean producers in Illinois, or vegetable farmers in California, why should seed system development in Africa, Asia, or Latin America matter? The answer is increasingly clear: today’s seed industry operates within a global ecosystem.

Seed Companies Prioritizing Ecology Will Own the Next Era of Biologicals

|
By Linda L. Kinkel
| Seed World Verified
For decades, the playbook has looked the same. Find a microbe that does something useful, refine that function, deployit widely. That playbook isn’t wrong. It’s incomplete. The conventional approach has helped build real products and move the industry forward. But it also created a pervasive and costly problem. Performance is inconsistent. Not just from field to field, but from geography to geography and season to season.

Shannon Bieman Wants Canada’s Seed Sector to Listen Better. Here’s Why It Matters

|
By Marc Zienkiewicz Verified
| Seed World Verified
On our farm near Belgrave, Ont., my husband Blair and I have learned that nobody succeeds on their own. We grow pedigreed soybean and cereal crops, run a beef cow-calf operation and keep a flock of sheep, but not one of those things happens without our veterinarian, our nutritionist, our mechanics and a whole network of people who help make it work. Agriculture is a team sport. I’ve carried that lesson into everything I do.

|
By Marc Zienkiewicz Verified
| Seed World Verified
Regulatory modernization, public plant breeding, research funding and Canada’s competitiveness in genetics are no longer isolated policy files. They’re becoming part of a much broader discussion inside Ottawa about economic security and national resilience.

How Farmers Thrive in One of Canada’s Toughest Growing Environments

|
By Marc Zienkiewicz Verified
| Seed World Verified
In most of Canadian agriculture, bigger is usually better. Bigger farms. Bigger yields. Bigger equipment. The Yukon doesn’t have that luxury. With growing seasons that can last as little as 60 to 90 days and less than two per cent of the territory suitable for conventional agriculture, success depends less on acres than on finding crops and genetics that can survive where few others can.

What Seed Processors Should Look for Beyond Equipment Specs

|
By Ewen Morrison
| Seed World Verified
I’ve spent most of my career around seed and grain processing facilities. I started as a maintenance guy, and even today, as a consultant designing seed cleaning and grain handling systems, I still look at projects through that lens. Equipment performance matters. Capacity matters. Price matters. But after decades in this industry, I’ve learned that one of the most important things is what happens after the sale.
