Abstract
As early as 23,000 years ago, we as a human society cultivated the land by growing proto weeds: Poa (Snir et al., 2015). Although it is not known if that practice was any more sustainable than current farming and crop production practices with respect to biodiversity, preserving soils and the environment, and feeding all of us, it is important to note the evidence in this book of practices that embrace and are improving sustainability in the present (Buitink and Leprince, 2022). In Advances in Seed Science and Technology for More Sustainable Crop Production, Buitink and Leprince have collected the works of notable authors to establish a higher understanding of seed quality, germination and dormancy, not to mention how seeds for both crop plants and weeds behave when in the soil or stored for future use.
