      abstract = {Food storage is a critical aspect of post-harvest management that significantly influences the quality, safety and shelf life of agricultural and processed food products. Effective preservation depends on maintaining controlled environmental conditions, including temperature, relative humidity and air quality, to prevent spoilage, microbial growth and nutrient loss. Traditional storage monitoring methods are largely manual, relying on periodic inspections with basic instruments such as thermometers and hygrometers. These approaches are labor-intensive and provide only intermittent data, which can overlook sudden fluctuations caused by climatic changes, equipment failures, or poor ventilation. Such undetected variations can lead to rapid deterioration and microbial contamination of stored commodities like grains, fruits, vegetables and packaged foods. Recent technological advancements have enabled the integration of Internet of Things (IoT) solutions in storage management. IoT systems utilize environmental sensors, microcontrollers and wireless communication modules to continuously monitor and transmit data to cloud-based platforms. This real-time data is accessible remotely via web dashboards or mobile applications, enabling timely analysis and automated alerts when environmental parameters exceed predefined thresholds. By facilitating continuous, accurate monitoring and early detection of adverse conditions, IoT-based systems improve environmental control efficiency, reduce post-harvest losses, enhance food safety and optimize storage operations. Therefore, adopting IoT-enabled real-time monitoring is essential for minimizing food wastage and ensuring the consistent availability of high-quality food products throughout the supply chain.},
