According to the World Health Organization, an adult human should eat at least two pieces of fruit (approximately 200 grams) and the same weight of vegetables. In Europe, only two per cent of the population meet that recommendation. And we are talking about Europe, not about the poorest inhabitants of a backward region in an under-developed country. Of course, people involved in plant breeding and their families will no doubt eat plenty of fruits and vegetables, but the rest of the population suffer from a lack of necessary nutrients that protects their bodies against diseases. Another shocking fact: thirty to forty per cent of all cases of cancer can be fended off by a healthy diet, combined with physical exercise. Vegetables even help to combat cancer cells. It is hard to imagine a more forceful argument to improve vegetable consumption and thus production. Maybe we can convince governments to add an ‘eat veggies’ campaign alongside their ‘quit smoking’ campaign. It might even be profi table if the increasing costs of medical care are taken into account. More shocking news: the average consumption of Dedicated to Quality vegetables in Africa is at present less than 50 kilos per This spring, the Dutch inspection service person per year.

  • LIVESEED Cross-Visit Report Netherlands
    Report on the Cross-Visit: Netherlands Work Package: WP02 - Improving cultivar testing, seed multiplication & health for high quality seeds for the organic sector Dissemination level: Public Publication Date: 19 December 2019 Main Author: Agnes Bruszik, Kaja Gutzen (IFOAM EU), Abco de Buck (LBI) WP Leader: Frederic Rey (ITAB) 2 About the report This report has been produced in the framework of the Horizon 2020-funded project LIVESEED.1 The main aim of LIVESEED is to boost the production and use of organic seeds and plant breeding for organic agriculture across Europe. It is co-ordinated by IFOAM EU, and its scientific coordinator is FIBL- CH. LIVESEED has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 727230 and by the Swiss State Secretariat for Education, Research and Innovation (SERI) under contract number 17.00090. Work Package 02 of LIVESEED aims at improving cultivar testing, seed multiplication & health for high quality seeds for the organic sector, and partly, at boosting the organic seed production and multiplication in countries where the organic sector is less developed (PL, HU, RO, BG, EL, ES and PT) and/or has particular needs, by promoting smart practices and knowledge exchange. As part of this Work Package, LIVESEED is organising visits to France, Italy, Netherlands and Germany, with the aim to demonstrate and promote smart practices to increase productivity and quality in organic seed production of cereal, vegetable, potato and fruit crops. To foster organic seed multiplication, the cross visits aim to: i) enable a mutual learning process amongst professionals engaged, ii) reveal regional particularities as well as lessons to be generalized, iii) inspire and stimulate regional partners to initiate changes in their system, iv) forge relationships as a basis for a professional network that can sustain after the project period.

  • Dutch Seed Breeding
    Dutch seed breeding Architects of global sustainable food supply November 2019 Introduction Dutch seed breeders are the world’s largest exporters of seed and are famous for their quality and innovation. Our tiny country is seen as one of the most important players in feeding the world. The strong connections between our farmers, research institutes, companies and the government mean that the Netherlands is ideally positioned to contribute to the development of a sustainable worldwide food chain. At the same time, regulations are constantly developing and societal concerns regarding our current methods of food production are growing. This raises the question: how can we, as the largest seed exporter, maintain and improve our market position, while responding to society’s environmental concerns? In response to this question, drawing on our worldwide network and our extensive experience, we have identified a number of key themes which will define the future of the Dutch seed breeding industry. In addition we assessed the European and Dutch market and considered potential solutions which may allow Dutch seed breeders to prosper and grow. We believe that drawing on diverse perspectives and knowledge when thinking about these themes is key to the solution. This publication provides a brief overview of our findings and is aimed at opening the discussion on the future of seed breeding in the Netherlands. Michael Regouw Head of KPMG NL’s Agriteam 2 © 2019 KPMG Advisory N.V., All rights reserved. Introduction Key themes Impact on industry Rising world population Global vegetable seed demand is set to grow by approximately 9.4 percent yearly as a result of the rising LOW HIGH world population.

  • Vitalis Seed Catalogue Us & Canada
    ® Breeding and Producing Organic Seeds VITALIS 2020SEED CATALOGUE US & CANADA ® BreedingBreeding and and Producing Producing Organic Organic Seeds When Vitalis Organic Seeds first entered the organic produce market in 1994, we were motivated by a passion to become leaders in breeding varieties adapted to organic agriculture systems, as well as providing the highest quality organic seed. Today we develop and produce more than 150 certified organic and regionally adapted varieties of vegetables and culinary herbs for the North American market. To mark our achievements, we hosted a 25th anniversary celebration at our research station in San Juan Bautista, CA this past August, with more than 200 growers, shippers, dealers, breeders and certifiers in attendance. In her opening remarks, Vitalis North America Business Manager Erica Renaud explained our philosophy: “At Vitalis, our organic seed is a natural complement to organic production techniques that work with biological systems such as crop rotation, intercropping, organic fertilization, natural pest control and mechanical cultivation for weed control. Conventionally produced seed, based on subjection to chemically based inputs, cannot be used to accomplish the goals of organic agriculture.” While we are proud of the dedication that has brought us to where we are today – global leaders in organic seed production and variety development – we have no intention of resting on our laurels. Providing the highest quality organic seed of vegetables and herbs that are best adapted to our warming and increasingly unpredictable climate, to new and innovative organic production practices, and to evolving consumer trends demands our on- going attention. The challenges we are facing in agriculture are increasing, but so too is our ability at Vitalis Organic Seeds to address these challenges with new and innovative solutions.
