Hi susieseeds. I have never been too successful with planting seeds, but I know how very important they are so I did a significant amount of experimentation while I was trying to get them to grow.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is a fantastic idea and I thought about this place while I was reading this thread. Personally, I think giving seeds as gifts is a great idea ... ๐
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Norwegian: Svalbard globale frรธhvelv) is a secure backup facility for the world's crop diversity on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago.[5] The Seed Vault provides long-term storage of duplicates of seeds conserved in genebanks around the world. This provides security of the world's food supply against the loss of seeds in genebanks due to mismanagement, accident, equipment failures, funding cuts, war, sabotage, disease and natural disasters. The Seed Vault is managed under terms spelled out in a tripartite agreement among the Norwegian government, the Crop Trust, and the Nordic Genetic Resource Center (NordGen).[6][7]
The Norwegian government entirely funded the Seed Vault's approximately 45 million kr (US$8.8 million in 2008) construction cost.[3] Norway and the Crop Trust pay for operational costs. Storing seeds in the vault is free to depositors.
