Production of Functional Food Resources
Pharmaceutical Development
Why is seed research and industry development important?
- The reduction in cultivated land due to industrialization, environmental pollution, climate crisis threatening the survival of wild plants, and the growing uncertainty in crop production
- Securing safe food resources and core resources for the bio-industry has become a national priority, and as advanced nations focus on genetic resources as strategic assets, the Korean government has begun to actively support related new growth initiatives.
- Expansion of research and development investments by global seed companies
- Supports the expansion of the seed resource bank’s utilization and strategically secures resources required by the seed industry
- Promotes the creation of an ecosystem for the co-growth of seed research and industry
What are the examples of seed preservation and development?
Our efforts to secure seed sovereignty
- Seed vaults for permanent seed storage
- Domestic production of vegetables and other crops with high import dependency
- Development of plant resources necessary for medicinal plant research
Seeds, the core of agriculture and an asset that will secure the future of humanity!
