One such plenary session, entitled “Emerging opportunities in seed sector to include value-added traits, landraces, and crops,” focused on the potential of value-added traits, traditional landraces, and diverse crops and how they can be harnessed to improve both the nutritional value and marketability of agricultural produce.
