Description
What does a career in plant breeding and seed production actually look like? 🌱🌾
For Ed, it’s walking the fields, spotting the smallest differences in crops, and carefully “rogueing” out off-types to keep seed lines pure… all to make sure the next generation of barley performs at its best.
In this episode of #CuriousByNature, I join Ed at KWS to see how variety maintenance and multiplication work in practice.
From field inspections to understanding how new varieties are developed, we explore the precision, patience, and expertise that go into producing the seeds behind the world’s food supply.
It’s work shaped by constant challenges - from disease and weeds to climate pressures - and focused on one goal: better, more resilient crops for the future. 🌍
Because feeding the world starts long before the harvest - and this is where it begins.
Follow along as we uncover more careers shaping the future of agriculture and food production. ✨@kws_group
