Why become a member?
ISF membership gives you a voice in global conversations on seed policy, trade, and innovation, and connects you to the right people and opportunities to grow your impact in the seed industry.
As an ISF member, you can engage with senior decision-makers, build strategic partnerships, and be part of meaningful exchanges driving the future of the seed sector.
BE INVOLVED – ISF Events
ISF membership opens the door to the ISF World Seed Congress, the flagship event of the global seed industry that typically attracts around 1500-2000 delegates each year. It is the key global opportunity to develop your industry knowledge and networks, as well as to negotiate trade agreements.
ISF membership gives you access to the ISF Working Group and the Annual Meetings held in November to drive progress on the ISF key strategic objectives.
BE HEARD – SHAPE the future
Help shape the rules influencing the global seed sector, not just follow them.

Resolve international seed trade and intellectual property disputes efficiently through ISF’s recognised trade and arbitration framework and global network of experts.
