Are you prepared for rising food prices, food shortages, and the loss of crops due to natural or human-made environmental disasters? If your answer to any of these questions is no, then here's the solution to all those problems...seed storage! When you have seeds, you can grow your own fruits and vegetables cheaper than you can buy them. With seeds, you have more control over the quality and access of your food supply, which means you have food security. With your own stored supply of seeds, you have a way to grow food if there is a sudden flood, hurricane, tornado or other natural disasters. Seeds are the most efficient way plants reproduce. When conditions are favorable, seeds will sprout, giving rise to plants, which are the basis of the food chain. When conditions are unfavorable, seeds will remain full of reproductive potential as long as they are kept in a cool, dry area and away from direct sunlight. Seed plants can be crossed in order to create a species with desirable characteristics, such as bigger tomatoes, and these traits are passed from one crop generation to the next through the seeds. Seeds are not only a means of producing food naturally, but it is also a way to preserve genetic diversity. In an ideal world, people would open an account to store their crop seeds just as they do their money.
