A cereal is any edible components of the grain (botanically, a type of fruit called a caryopsis) of cultivated grass, composed of the endosperm, germ, and bran. Cereal grains are grown in greater quantities and provide more food energy worldwide than any other type of crop and are therefore staple crops such as buckwheatt (Polygonaceae).For the assurance of future food security, there raise a need to come up with appropriate means that is both cereal grain friendly and farmers friendly.Many scientists have tried to identify some methods to reduce pest infestation but majority have not concentrated to implement the best alternatives to their side effects. The main objective of my research is to come up with biological methods of cereal preservation that targets both the farmers concerning their health, grain’s yield and future market as well as students and researchers in their study and research work. This study will involve first pre-study to small scale farming regions and will extend to large scale farming regions. The data will be collected through administering questionnaires to the farmers and collect their views concerning the modern and traditionalpreservation techniques.The data collected will be analyzed by the use of SPSS tool and the results be noted.

postedit is an interrested article, please share more. this method of preservation, is it currently used by the small holders?one side can assure the food security through preservation but what is an impact on food safety and the effect on consumer's health.

postedBiological preservation...would you mind giving us a birds eye view of how will you achieve that and what's your target,what variables do you measure so you can monitor it quantitatively..

hi, wonderful theme for research.
Can you please elaborate on this ' biological methods of cereal preservation'.
thank you
