Seed Program Modernization

The objective of the Seed Program Modernization Initiative is to improve the policy, regulatory and institutional frameworks that govern seed in Canada. To that end, the CFIA undertook consultations over the last several years to elicit views on concrete proposals for change and to identify additional issues that deserve consideration.
