ASTA’s International Team Participates in ISF World Seed Congress

The ISF World Seed Congress in Rotterdam, Netherlands, was a successful event for ASTA’s International Team. After several days of productive ISF policy meetings, the ISF World Seed Congress kicked off its 100^th gathering, with over 2,000 industry professionals from across the world in attendance.

Andy LaVigne, Drs. Fan-Li Chou, Sam Crowell, and Martha Malapi actively represented ASTA’s members in discussions on key topics including plant breeding innovation, environmental and social responsibility, market access and trade, genetic resources, seed health, seed-related innovation, value chain, systems approach, and combating illegal seed practices, among others.

A highlight of the event was the participation of His Majesty, King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands.
