Product Transparency
The food value chain starts with the seed. KWS as a responsible seed specialist commits to transparency and wants to set up a timely and transparent communication and information sharing about used technologies and innovations for all marketed varieties.
KWS believes that this is an important commitment looking at the increasingly complex structures of agriculture, to foster acceptance among policy makers and critical stakeholders on plant breeding innovation, and to enable continued FTO for organic breeding schemes. There is a clear need to provide the value chain from customer to consumer with options for choice and at the same time demonstrate the added (trait) value the various breeding methods bring to products.
For more definition details please visit KWS breeding methods or the glossary.
