The seeds, including samples of wheat, barley and grasses suited to dry regions, have been requested by researchers in the Middle East to replace a collection in the Syrian city of Aleppo that has been damaged by the war. “Protecting the world’s biodiversity in this manner is precisely the purpose of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault,” said Brian Lainoff, spokesman for the Crop Trust which runs the underground store on a Norwegian island 1,300 km (800 miles) from the North Pole.

They know they have screwed up most of the worlds farm crops. They are keeping original seed stock for after WW3 so they can 'start over' and have a good stock of proper non-GMO foods to eat for the elite after most of the 'useless eaters' have been eliminated. |
