Episode description

In the icy wilderness of Svelbard, deep in the bowels of an imposing mountain, may lie the future of human­kind. It’s one of the world's most vital resources: seeds.

This week we talk about what makes these little genetic reservoirs so important, what's happening in the world of agriculture and why we need a doomsday vault at all.
