State of Seed
On State of Seed, you’ll find out how seeds feed and sustain the planet. Though more than half of what we eat comes from seeds, most of us know very little about them—and how the sector contributes to our world and the future of food security. In this four-part series, host Laura Rosbrow-Telem talks to the innovative players advancing this vital resource, including leaders of multinational companies and NGOs, UN and government officials, entrepreneurs, national seed associations, scientists, and of course, farmers. Plus, you’ll hear about the key concerns keeping them up at night. State of Seed is brought to you by the International Seed Federation, with production services from FP Studios.

This podcast was so interesting and informative. And startling. Who knew that 2/3 of those around the world with food insecurity were actually farmers who cannot make a decent living? Laura Rosbrow Telem takes the audience through a good introduction to how seeds play an enormous role in feeding and sustaining our planet. I will definitely listen to the full series of episodes. Thank you. Episode 2 was interesting in describing why modifying seeds is important, different methods of doing that with the advantages and disadvantages of each, and how government regulations might affect each method. There are major scientific and societal considerations for all of these, including safety , yield, climate change.
