Partnerships help build better seed systems in Europe and Central Asia
A study tour brought representatives of Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and North Macedonia to Hungary to learn about improving their seed systems. The visit on 16–20 May constituted part of an FAO project aiming to enhance climate resilience in agriculture.
Specifically, national professionals and policy-makers from the three countries deepened their knowledge in seed material renewal, seed certification, and seed supply production on the example of the Hungarian system. Participants shared information on their legislative frameworks and current structures and how to adapt these to local contexts. Their collaboration and mutual learning will contribute to further develop seed systems and genetic resources in Europe and Central Asia.
