Season 2 of State of Seed launches Friday, June 27th. This time around, we examine how seeds are playing a critical role in protecting the planet during this moment of global uncertainty. Recorded at the World Seed Congress in Istanbul, host Laura Rosbrow-Telem talks to a range of experts, including the 2024 World Food Prize Co-Winner Cary Fowler, who co-founded the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. She also speaks with trade officials about how they are navigating 2025, as well as negotiators of the UN’s International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture – which will face a crucial juncture this year. State of Seed is a podcast from the International Seed Federation, with production services by FP Studios.
