Episode 12: Exploring AVEBE's Cooperative Model - Reconnecting on Our Potential Collaboration

Saison 2 · Épisode 12

lundi 11 mai 2026 • Durée 23:39

𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗽𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗱𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝟮

In this final episode of Seeds of Tomorrow – The Next Chapter, we explore a fascinating model of agricultural innovation — where farmers lead the entire value chain, from breeding to global markets.

Hosted at the Community Plant Variety Office (CPVO), this conversation with Marleen de Rond-Schouten (Director of Agro & Strategy at Royal Avebe) and Nuria Fernández Urquía (Vice President of the CPVO) reveals how a fully integrated, grower-owned cooperative approaches breeding, sustainability and innovation.

From developing disease-resistant and climate-adapted varieties to reducing inputs and exploring new genomic techniques, the episode highlights how combining science, strategy and collaboration can drive long-term impact in agriculture.

It also examines how business models, intellectual property and global demand shape the future of plant breeding — showing that innovation is not only about technology, but about how the entire system works together.
