ISF World Seed Congress 2027
Explore the key challenges and opportunities driving the global seed sector
Agri-food systems are under pressure as never before. Geopolitical tensions, climate shocks, conflict, and disrupted trade routes are reshaping how seed moves and how risk is shared. At the same time, rapid advances in plant breeding innovation, AI and digital tools are transforming what’s possible in fields and value chains around the world.
In this context, the seed sector sits at a critical junction of opportunity and responsibility. High-quality seed is the starting point of every harvest and a cornerstone of global food security. How the world collaborates—or fails to collaborate—around seed movement, innovation, and environmental and social responsibility will directly influence the resilience of farmers, markets and communities.
The ISF World Seed Congress 2027 in Toronto will bring together the people who can act on this reality: decision-makers from across the global seed industry, value chain partners, policymakers, technical experts, innovators, and the next generation of ag leaders.
Our theme, “Cultivating Ventures”, reflects a simple truth: no company, country, or organization can tackle these challenges alone.
The 2027 program in Toronto will build on proven formats from recent congresses while responding to a fast-changing environment.
