A Review on Seed Storage Technology: Recent Trends and Advances in Sustainable Techniques for Global Food Security

Abstract

Seed storage innovation assumes an essential part in guaranteeing worldwide food security by safeguarding genetic variety and preserving seed feasibility over time. This review article gives a complete outline of ongoing patterns and advances in supportable seed stockpiling strategies. Starting with an investigation of the significance of seed storage about food security challenges, the audit digs into conventional seed storing strategies and their obstacles. Additionally review also provides a comprehensive analysis of maintainable methodologies like controlled air capacity, cryopreservation, and seed preparing, featuring their adequacy in dragging out seed suitability while diminishing energy utilization and natural effect. Moreover, the review discusses the incorporation of digital technologies, for example, artificial intelligence and blockchain, in seed storage management to enhance the traceability and convenience of seed collections. Additionally, the role of community-based seed banks and participatory plant breeding in promoting seed resilience against climate change is explored. By discussing current research findings and practical applications, this review aims to inform policymakers, researchers, and practitioners about the diverse range of sustainable seed storage solutions available to safeguard global agricultural biodiversity and ensure food security in the face of evolving ecological challenges.
