Este dramático edificio, ubicado en una remota isla noruega, puede preservar hasta 4.5 millones de semillas para ese día en el que luego de que el mundo como lo conocemos se acabe, los que sobrevivan, si es que sobrevive alguien, puedan recrear la agricultura.
Svalbard Seed Bank is meant as a sort of safety net, a reserve of last resort and the vault functions like a genetic safety deposit box. It stores duplicate specimens from genebanks worldwide and while the Svalbard seed bank owns the building, the individual depositor owns the contents of his or her box and the access to individual specimens is regulated by their respective depositors.
