Welcome to ISF's
100 years of history

Scroll this page

In a world grappling with unprecedented challenges,

from climate change to conflict,

the lingering effects of the pandemic,

and persistent market inefficiencies,

the mission to ensure food security for all

is more urgent

than ever.

At the heart of this effort are farmers all over the world

who are continuing to strive to produce

enough food for the world’s population, one

harvest at a time.

For the past century, the International Seed

Federation has stood as a beacon of collaboration

and innovation, working to ensure that farmers

everywhere have access to the high-quality seeds

they need to feed the world.

As we commemorate ISF’s 100th anniversary, we

celebrate not only the association’s journey but

also the transformative power of seeds to shape

a future free from hunger and filled with hope.

We all have a role to play. Join us in celebrating the

transformative power of seeds. Together, we can

ensure that seeds, which are the starting point of

food production, continue to be a beacon of hope and

a symbol of a brighter future for all.
