The International Edition of Seed World touched on global issues in the seed sector in time for the International Seed Federation meeting in Uruguay. An article on the need for more research is on page 42 based on an excellent report by Dorothy Murrell – also a seed sector veteran. It was a privilege to create an International Edition of Seed World more than a decade ago when I purchased Seed World which is still owned by Issues Ink under the capable leadership of Shawn Brook.
