Hundreds of thousands of seeds collect in a gene bank in Norway. Manmade conflicts and natural disasters are hitting the world harder than ever, and causing a serious threat to our food security. This project allows for a copy of numerous seeds to be protected in an environment so cold (-19°) that even if the electricity goes out for thirty years, the seeds will still survive (-5°).

This is so reassuring. A case of longterm thinking and global collaboration. How often does this occur?

The film, Seeds of Time, tracks Cary Fowler, around the world as he makes his vision of a international seed bank, a reality.
