Seed Policy Dialogues

Dear Ladies and Gentlemen,

Built as a monthly exchange meeting with lawyer Fulya Batur, ECLLD Members and all interested parties, the Dialogues analysed the monthly Sprouts From Brussels newsletter and discussed a wide range of topics related to seeds, with precious external contributions, and interpretation into French (at times also Italian and German).

Thanks for tuning in, actively contributing, participating, or showing interest in these moments of exchange, it was a great pleasure to discuss this wide range of topics!

For those who were unable to attend, here are all the recordings :-)

Looking forward to the path ahead, with ever more agrobiodiversity in gardens and fields, we wish you a Merry Christmas and all the best for 2022.
