Understanding and guiding effective Seed Sector Platforms

Across its portfolio of activities, SeedNL has been supporting the establishment of seed sector platforms. As part of wider sector development programmes, platforms have been instrumental to bring stakeholders together and contribute to building connection and achieving project and sector ambitions. SeedNL is also supporting the development of platforms outside of larger programmes, with the aim to lay a collaborative foundation for future seed sector development or transformation.

With the aim to learn from these experiences, we commissioned Wageningen University & Research to work with partners involved in seed platforms to develop key insights to guide future strategies and decisions on support to seed sector platforms. The report and 1-pager below outline evidence-based guidance to ensure current and future platforms are effective in their performance.
