In plant breeding, progress often comes through failed trials, discarded lines and years of refinement. Persistence is not blind repetition. It is learning, adjusting and trying better. #PlantBreeding #SeedSector #AgInnovation

Some stories begin with a single crop — and continue through generations of decisions.
In 1856, farmer Matthias Christian Rabbethge acquired a majority stake in a sugar beet factory in Klein Wanzleben, Germany, laying the foundation for what would become KWS.
Looking at this beginning now, what stands out is not only the origin of a company, but the start of a way of thinking about agriculture, seed and long-term strategy.

🥔 A potato is never “just a potato.”
From the field to your snack bowl, science helps create potato varieties that are more resilient, sustainable and adapted to today’s challenges.
Breeding a new potato can take more than a decade, combining expertise in genetics, agriculture and food production to reduce disease, improve storage and support farmers worldwide.
This International Day of Potato, we celebrate the people and innovation behind one of the world’s favorite foods 🍟➡️ tinyurl.com/4t9w894t

Our columnist Joe Schwarcz: “Seek and you shall find” applies to toxicology too. Test enough doses and endpoints, and something may show up. The real question is risk at actual exposure levels.
