First issue available at the 2014 European Seed Association Annual Meeting and European Seed Trade Meeting in Lisbon, Portugal
Issues Ink is pleased to announce the official launch of European Seed magazine. The much-awaited magazine was developed in co-operation with the European Seed Association and Issues Ink and will offer rich and relevant content, further advancing the € 7 billion seed industry in Europe.
"It has been a very rewarding experience working with the European seed industry to develop this publication and website," says Shawn Brook, president of Issues Ink. "Our understanding of the global seed industry, combined with the deep knowledge and networks of the European Seed Association, has created a wonderful opportunity. The need for a communications channel, both digital and in print, that can offer critical sharing opportunities and unique content to seed industry was made very clear as we talked to various stakeholders within Europe. And from those conversations has come European Seed magazine and European-Seed.com. ... We and the industry are very excited about the launch of both come October at the ESA's annual meeting." states Brook. "Our efforts have been welcomed and we very much look forward to building our business in Europe."
As part of the start-up of the magazine, European Seed has assembled an editorial advisory board that represents a cross section of the seed industry in Europe. The board will help shape the content of the magazine, providing diverse opinions and expertise.
"It is imperative that the global seed industry share insights while staying focused on how the constantly improving seed that is available to producers around the globe can positively impact their efforts while helping to feed an increasing population. And European Seed will be a key instrument in that sharing process," says Brook.
