Based on surveys and on extensive stakeholder consultation process over four years in 21 European countries, the current increase in production and use of organic seed in Europe seems too slow to reach the goal of 100% organic seed in 2036.

• Seed companies need reliable data on the actual demand for organic seed and clear deadlines for derogations for the different crops to invest in scaling up organic seed production.

• Increased availability of organic seed from suitable and locally adapted varieties is needed to motivate farmers to use more organic seed.

• At the national level, a roadmap with intermediate goals should be developed to phase-out derogations by 2036.

• LIVESEED developed a decision tree for national seed expert groups to facilitate making a roadmap on a crop level.
