Crop seed banks are repositories that store seeds of various plant species, preserving genetic diversity for future agricultural use. These banks play a vital role in safeguarding endangered or rare crops and maintaining the resilience of plant populations. By storing seeds from different regions and environments, seed banks can protect against genetic erosion, natural disasters, and climate change impacts. They also serve as a source of seeds for researchers and farmers seeking to enhance crop varieties with specific traits such as disease resistance, drought tolerance, or higher nutritional value. Crop seed banks contribute to food security and sustainability, ensuring that diverse and resilient crop varieties are available for future generations.
