Celebrating a Century of Innovation: The ISF’s Journey Towards Global Food Security.

The International Seed Federation (ISF) is marking a significant milestone this year, celebrating 100 years of exceptional contributions to the global seed sector and agriculture. Since its establishment in 1924, the ISF has been a leading advocate for seed policies that promote sustainable agriculture and ensure food security on a global scale.

Through its commitment to innovation and seed quality, the federation has implemented rigorous standards in seed testing and plant breeding, transforming the sector and making high-quality seeds more accessible to farmers. The ISF has grown from a small group of seed traders to an influential organization with members from over 70 countries, highlighting its impact on the industry.

The centennial celebrations of the ISF offer a retrospective of the federation’s journey through a century of agricultural challenges and accomplishments. Events include a global conference featuring experts in biotechnology and sustainable farming practices, as well as a special publication highlighting the ISF’s contributions to agriculture.

Looking forward to the future, the ISF remains focused on embracing cutting-edge technologies and fostering collaboration across borders. By ensuring that resilient and top-quality seed varieties reach farmers worldwide, the ISF is laying the foundation for another century of growth and prosperity in the industry.
