#ISF100YEARS 100 Seed Heroes Call for Submissions
In 2020, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the International Seed federation (ISF) launched the #SeedHeroes campaign to highlight the essential workers in the seed sector. These dedicated individuals ensured that farmers and growers worldwide could access quality seeds, enabling them to produce healthy crops and provide nutritious food for all. The campaign was a tremendous success, showcasing the diversity within the global seed industry, including the variety of people, professions, roles, and types of companies and organizations involved.
As part of the #ISF100Years celebrations, ISF is looking for 100 seed sector professionals from associations and companies to feature on ISF social media from September 2024 in the run-up to World Food Day 2024 in October until December 2024.
