Seeds cross borders before they reach fields. This session breaks down that journey—and what today’s trade policy and geopolitical realities mean for the seed industry. Dr. Scott Huechlin (Iowa State University Seed Science Center) sets the stage, followed by a panel discussion with Sam Crowell (ASTA Vice President, Science, Trade, and Global Affairs) and Laurel Carter (Global Head of Phytosanitary and Seed Movement Compliance, Syngenta), moderated by LEAD Committee Chair Jonathan Shaver, on navigating regulations, risk, and opportunity in global seed movement.
