Seed Sector Modernisation and Climate-Smart Seed Certification in Istanbul

培训项目概述

Agricultural systems face mounting challenges from climate volatility, pest incursions, and shifting seasonal patterns, requiring robust seed systems that ensure access to high-yielding, resilient varieties. This four-day training programme in Istanbul delivers comprehensive insight into modern seed sector administration, aligning institutional practices with international standards. Participants examine statutory mechanisms that govern varietal testing, plant variety protection, and certified seed production, equipping national authorities to build transparent, accountable seed value chains capable of sustaining national food security.

The curriculum addresses the technical and administrative procedures essential for climate-smart seed certification, including laboratory phytosanitary assays, distinctness, uniformity, and stability testing, and value for cultivation and use trials. Through detailed case analyses, participants evaluate decentralised seed multiplication, field inspection protocols, and private sector accreditation schemes. The programme highlights strategies to streamline varietal release, ensuring that drought-resistant, climate-adapted germplasm transitions rapidly from public breeding institutes to farming communities.

Conducted in Istanbul, a regional bridge for seed trade and regulatory development, the course combines theoretical frameworks with practical exercises in purity analysis, seed storage, and lot traceability. Delegates engage with international guidelines established by the International Seed Testing Association and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development seed schemes. The learning environment fosters cross-border professional dialogue, preparing officials to reform regulatory enforcement and modernise seed governance in their home institutions.

Agricultural productivity across Central and West Asia, particularly in economies supported by initiatives such as the Strengthening Resilience of the Agriculture Sector Project, depends heavily on the commercial availability of clean, certified, drought-tolerant seed. Outdated certification protocols, porous inspection frameworks, and delayed varietal approvals hinder smallholder access to resilient crop types amid worsening seasonal water shortages. Strengthening national seed regulatory capacity now ensures public institutions and development projects can verify seed quality, stimulate domestic multiplication, and safeguard farm yields against accelerating climate stresses.

Delivered by Risalat Consultants International in Istanbul, Turkey, it combines expert-led sessions, real cases and group work, so that participants can apply what they learn in their own institution.

The Programme Strengthens Institutional Capability

• International regulatory architecture: OECD Seed Schemes, ISTA rules, and UPOV conventions
• National varietal release procedures: Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU) evaluation models
• Protocols for Distinctness, Uniformity, and Stability (DUS) testing for field crops
• Institutional roles: separating statutory regulation, breeding, and commercial multiplication
• Legal protections, breeder rights, and intellectual property in public breeding programmes
• Methodologies for field inspection: isolation distances, previous cropping, and varietal rogueing
• Techniques for identifying off-types and physiological abnormalities in multiplication fields
• Private sector grower accreditation: regulatory criteria, oversight, and quality audits
• 气候与环境风险评估
• 适应与减缓规划
• 能源、水和土地领域的行业战略
• 面向气候与环境目标的项目设计

It is designed for seed inspection officials and statutory quality controllers, agronomists managing field evaluation and multiplication plots, directors and senior researchers from national agricultural research institutes and others who want practical, current skills in climate, environment and natural resources.
