This panel from the 2013 ACORN conference in Moncton explores - from the perspective of a seed grower, a small seed company entrepreneur, and a medium-sized local seed company - the opportunities and challenges for the seed industry in Atlantic Canada and beyond.  Panelists discuss how the seed sector has changed over the course of their careers, the quality issues that can pose barriers to new entrants, and how some of these challenges might be addressed.
