Svalbard Global Seed Vault
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a « vault » in the permafrost of Svalbard where 100 Millions duplicates of seeds from seed collections from around the globe are stored. Its mission is to assure « food reserves » and to provide a « backup system » against loss of diversity in traditional genebanks – a kind of modern « Noah’s Ark ».
