It is a significant difficulty to provide limited resources with food and nutritional security for the millions who are continually expanding. By 2050, the population of the world is projected to surpass 9.9 billion, having surpassed 8.0 billion in 2022. He emphasized that the globe must support equitable economic possibilities for this expanding population at every level of the food production chain, much like the indian State of Telangana.
According to him, the goals of ISTA are to create, implement, and publish standardized practices for sampling and testing seeds. A diversified group of seed scientists, specialists, and analysts from universities, research centers, and seed testing laboratories in the public sector as well as from the private seed business throughout the world make up ISTA's membership, which represents many nations and unique economies.

It is truly a global representation of the seed technology and scientific community, he continued, noting that ISTA has worked closely for many years with affiliated international organisations, such as the Food and Agricultural Organisation, to increase farmers' access to high-quality seeds so they can meet their country's goals for food and nutritional security.
