In Hungary organic seeds are scarcely available, thus derogation for the use of conventional untreated seeds is still a major practice
Lahendus
Database: The organic seed database (http://portal.nebih.gov.hu/oko-vetomag) is a tool for farmers to look for organic seeds available on the market. To increase the availability and transparency of seeds, farmers and seed companies should regularly use the database. National seed companies: Certified Hungarian companies are willing to produce organic seeds, but only on explicit demand. Clear commitment of farmers to use organic seed will encourage them to invest in the organic seed business. International seed companies: Organic vegetable farmers ensure their seed supply mostly from international seed companies, that offer a broad range of organic seeds via on-line marketing. Farm-saved seeds: Farm-saved seeds are commonly used by organic cereal farmers (>90%) to reduce input costs and to use locally adapted material. However, the quality of farm-saved seeds often poses a major risk. Training courses, visits to best practice examples could help farmers tackle these problems.

Practical recommendations: 1) Researchers, breeders with the national authority should organise organic variety trials with farmer field days to showcase the advantages of organically produced seeds adapted to organic conditions, triggering organic seed production and use. 2) With the coordination of the Organic Agriculture Research Institute ÖMKi, involving all relevant stakeholders of the sector, a working group on organic seed should be established to facilitate strategic planning and harmonise actions. 3) Researchers should organise farmer trainings and capacity building in producing high quality seed. 4) Policy makers should establish incentives for organic seed use and organic seed production.
