Tweet

The design for a 'doomsday' vault ... that will house seeds, has been completed. All known varieties of food crops will be represented in the structure, which will be constructed by the Norwegian government. The vault aims to safeguard the world's agriculture from future catastrophes by building into the side of a mountain. On a remote island. Near the North pole. The Svalbard International Seed Vault will house the seed samples at a preservative -18C (0F), and could be used by post-apocalyptic people to feed a hungry planet. Do you think that this vault will really be effective in saving the world plants in case of a nuclear war?
