IFOAM - Organics International and its Seeds Platform recognize initiatives worldwide seeking to create an alternative model of seed production. For all these experiences to be successful some common obstacles have to be overcome. There are farmers, breeders, institutions and civil society actors that are committed to producing seeds compatible with the principles of organic agriculture. They are therefore the experts that can contribute to the international debate on organic seeds and plant breeding.

The IFOAM Seeds Platform can serve as the ideal meeting place to share knowledge, concerns, and ideas on what IFOAM - Organics International can do to support the alternatives to conventional seed breeding.
