Description In protracted crisis situations, robust seed systems are vital for ensuring food security and mitigating the impacts of stressors such as conflict, climate change, and economic shocks. Traditional Seed Systems Resilience Assessment (SSRA) methods are extremely valuable, but often face challenges in data collection, analysis, and reporting, which hinder timely and effective interventions. This proposed digital SSRA suite, named SeedSAGE (Seed System Analysis and Guidance Engine) is an innovative plan by integrating offline data capture capabilities with robust analytical tools, specifically designed to address the unique challenges of remote and crisis-affected regions. The suite will comprise of three interconnected tools: the Crop Diversity Assessment Tool, the Resilience Analysis Tool, and the Seed Network Analysis Tool. These tools, combined with robust data processing capabilities, will generate tailored reports to empower governments and development agencies to make informed decisions and implement targeted interventions, using AI parsing. The development plan outlines key components, including user-friendly input modules designed for field use, secure cloud-based data storage, and a phased implementation timeline. The tool does not yet exist, but this document will enumerate intricate pathways for easy development. This digital transformation promises to improve data quality, enhance time efficiency, and broaden the reach of assessments. Ultimately, it aims to enhance decision-making processes, bolstering food security and resilience in vulnerable communities. We invite stakeholders, investors, and development agencies to partner with us in this transformative endeavor.
