Please join the USAID Feed the Future Soybean Innovation Lab for this interactive discussion on the future of seed in Africa. Listen as 15 leading experts in seed from around the world weigh-in on the wicked problem of seed in Africa. In an event moderated by Regina Eddy from USAID’s Bureau for Resilience, Environment, and Food Security, the group of experts will attempt to answer the Three Gnarly Seed Questions:

1.            Should seed be free?

2.            Should the NARS/CG generate revenue from royalties? 

3.            Should national seed registration use company-provided variety performance data?

RSVP requested.
