Episode 7: Driving Innovation in Vegetable Breeding: Genetics, Protection & the Future of NGTs

In this episode of Seeds of Tomorrow – The Next Chapter, we explore what drives innovation in vegetable breeding and how science, regulation and market needs intersect. Together with Nuria Urquia Fernandez, Vice-President of the CPVO and experts from BASF | Nunhems: Peter B Visser and Peter Ogg. We discuss: ✅ genetic diversity and long-term breeding strategies ✅ growers’ expectations and market-driven innovation ✅ plant variety protection (CPVR) and enforcement challenges ✅ access to genetic resources & patent transparency ✅ new genomic techniques (NGT1) and complex traits ✅ regulatory harmonisation and global competitiveness How do breeders prioritise traits such as resilience, shelf life and flavour? What role does legal certainty play in supporting R&D investment? And how might new breeding technologies reshape the vegetable sector in the coming decade? A thoughtful and in-depth conversation at the crossroads of science, law and innovation. #CPVO #PlantVarietyProtection #VegetableBreeding #NGTs #Innovation #SeedsOfTomorrow
