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 Senior Director of International Programs and Policy) and Martha Malapi (ASTA Director of Seed Health and Trade), moderated by LEAD Committee Chair Jonathan Shaver, on navigating regulations, risk, and opportunity in global seed movement.
