Hazera supports #PlantDay campaign

Plants are fascinating – from one little seed to substantial agriculture crops – and they are critical to animals and mankind to survive on this planet. Plants are essential for agriculture, in sustainably producing food, as well as for horticulture, forestry, and all of the non-food products such as paper, timber, chemicals, energy, and pharmaceuticals.

The seed sector believes that showcasing the importance of plant breeding for the whole of society is vital as plant science contributes to high-quality food, competitive and sustainable agriculture and climate change mitigation.

They will use this international day to explain the benefits of plant breeding and address the knowledge gap that exists between the general public and science-based agriculture.

To date, already over 40 countries worldwide have confirmed joining the ‘Fascination of Plants Day’ 2017 with more than 100 registered projects and the number is growing. A large number of scientific institutions, universities, botanical gardens, and museums, together with farmers and companies, have already announced that they will open their doors, with a variety of plant-based events for all interested people.

To help celebrate the importance of plant science and plant breeding for society, join the Fascination of Plants Day and spread the word by shouting #PlantDay on May 18th.
