Consulting

Svalöf Consulting sells services within seed and food supply chain area of expertise, primarily through aid projects in developing countries and to the food industry.  Currently Svalöf Consulting is involved in the development of the seed industry in Central Asia and particularly in Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan.

The challenge facing humanity

Entering a new millennium entails added pressures for farmers around the globe. New agricultural systems where water, land and genetic resources are preserved while productivity is increased, must be developed. To meet this challenge, farmers’ experience and scientific advances must be combined.

Seeds - an investment

A key component in sustainable agricultural systems is the use of well adapted crop varieties. Giving farmers access to improved seed also contributes to improved food security at both family and regional level. Through plant breeding, crops can be made more tolerant to climatic stress or pest attacks and better suited for storage and processing.

Svalöf Consulting AB provides the know-how and services needed for the development of crop research and seed industry around the world. The technical core competence covers the whole chain from plant biotechnology and breeding to seed production and marketing. All projects include managerial and human resource development.

Svalöf Consulting AB arranges training courses in Sweden in 'Sustainable Agriculture, Pesticide Management' as well as in 'Plant Breeding and Seed Production'. On behalf of Swedish Biodiversity Centre (CBM), and together with Stockholm Environment Institute (SEI), a training course is arranged in 'Genetic Resources and Intellectual Property Rights'. Participants from all parts of the world are welcome. Specialised courses are also designed and given in other countries on request.
