Euroseeds merges national seed associations as well as individual companies into one single EU wide umbrella organization representing the totality of the European seed industry active in research, breeding, production and marketing of seeds of agricultural, horticultural and ornamental plant species. It was founded in November 2000 and is located in Brussels, Belgium. 

“Plants from seed are the origin of all food, provide innovative and environmentally friendly industrial products and beautify our landscape.”

Euroseeds’s mission is to work for a fair and proportionate regulation of the European seed industry, freedom of choice for customers in supplying seeds as a result of innovative, diverse technologies and production methods and for effective protection of intellectual property rights relating to plants and seed. 

In that sense, Euroseeds lobbies on all seed related issues and specifically on:
- seed marketing, incl. GM and organic seed
- Intellectual Property Rights (Plant Breeders Rights, Biotech Patents, etc.)
- plant/seed health (phytosanitary rules; seed treatments)
- biodiversity and access to genetic resources
- land use and food production
- competitiveness of the EU agri-food chain

It also aims at solving collective problems of its membership like e.g. market access in third countries.
