International Clean Seed Pathway Workshop

In response to the increase in the global movement of seeds for planting and associated phytosanitary regulation, the department held a workshop titled ‘The International Clean Seed Pathway’ on 7-8 June 2018 in Brisbane.

The objectives of the workshop were:

1. to provide a forum for seed producers and users, importers, exporters, researchers and regulators to discuss the concept of an integrated system pathway approach for regulating the phytosanitary health of seed
2. to promote and enhance global movement of clean seed pathways.

The workshop was attended by a range of invited stakeholder groups, including producers, importers, exporters, researchers and national and international regulators of seed.
