Puri Jagannadh : ” Before the end of the world, everyone should know about the Seed Vault in Norway. He said that everyone should know about that treasury before the world is destroyed.
This time he spoke on ‘Global Seed Vault‘ as part of Puri Musings, Said interesting things about it. His words are for you ..
If something catastrophic comes and destroys everything ..! If the whole of mankind is dead and only a few are left ..! It could be asteroids .. it could be earthquakes .. anything like that could happen .. even if the nature on earth was destroyed .. even if all the crops could burn .. what is the situation ..? If such a situation arises .. we need a backup.
For that .. Global Seed Vault (World Seed Treasury). A hill was dug 120 meters deep on a small island in the North Pole near Norway. There put this seed vault. Stored at a temperature of -18 degrees.
All the seeds in all the countries of the world were collected and all those seed samples were stored there. Seeds can be stored for years in a minus temperature environment without current.
This is an awesome insurance policy for food supply. If anything happens due to climate change .. it will be used for our future generations. It will last for centuries, ” Puri said.
“There are 4.5 million varieties of crops in this seed vault. 500 seeds per variety. A total of 2.5 billion seeds are hidden here. Rice and wheat in Africa and Asia .. as well as in South America .. eggplant, barley, aloo .. This is a variety of seeds collected from all over the world.
These are called genie banks. You will be given a locker here if you want. What you like .. Seeds that are not found anywhere can be hidden here. It is called a black box. This is something we all need to know. Or else everyone is dead ..
What if the rest of them don’t know what the Seed Vault is here for ..? As if all the waste was gone …That is why I say .. we are going to see such misery in the future. Someday the day will come when some will go to Seed vault and open it.
To that day that Seed Walt looks like a great treasure to mankind. Also, tell your children why it is good. That treasure is in Norway. The island is called Spitsbergen.
