A Seed Stock Preservation System for Developing Agricultural Communities.

Developing agricultural communities around the world tend to be in areas which experience weather extremes, geological disasters and civil unrest. All of these can lead to the destruction of the seed stock these economies rely on.

This Nitrogen Seed Stock Preservation System will assist these communities to preserve seed stock for extended periods of time.

This product makes a suitable ‘atmosphere’ by separating Nitrogen gas from the air using existing membrane separation technologies and doing this in a portable backpack solar powered unit.

The Nitrogen generated is pumped into a sealable container to purge out all Oxygen. A moisture absorbing pack is added to the seed and the container sealed and stored in a stable, low temperature location until required.
