Seed Valley Talks

In the coming months we will release inspiring video’s that share how the Dutch seed industry contributes to these goals. Producing more with less is an important drive for the sector, long before the official statement of the goals. How do we work on reduction of plant protection materials? How to cope with climate change? You have the chance to attend our first (online) edition of Seed Valley Talks.
