| Summary: | The IRRI Seed Health and Logistics Unit (SHU) showcased its activities and available services involving the exchange of seed and non-seed biomaterials during its 2023 Awareness Week on November 24-30, 2023.
The transboundary movement of plant biomaterials to and from partners has become a constant in research programs. Plants and seeds can harbor harmful pathogens, insects, nematodes, and other organisms that can spread into new territories.
The Seed Health and Logistics Unit SHU plays a crucial role in preventing the spread of pests and diseases during the transfer of germplasm in international research and breeding programs and the delivery of public goods. Additionally, SHU facilitates the logistics by coordinating multiple-cross-institute actions and securing full compliance with all applicable internal and external requirements.
