A seed vault is a secure facility where seeds from plants around the world are carefully stored and protected.These seeds come from crops, such as rice, wheat, beans, vegetables, and many other plants. The world’s largest seed vault currently holds more than 1.35 million different seed samples.
Importance for the Future
Seed vaults were created to protect humanity’s future food supply. For thousands of years, humans have depended on seeds as a main source of food. However, plants can be seriously damaged by natural disasters, climate change, war, or disease. If a major event were to cause a plant species to go extinct, it could have serious effects on people around the world. In this way, seed vaults act as insurance for the future.
Where Seed Vaults are Located
The two largest seed vaults are the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway and the Baekdudaegan Global Seed Vault in South Korea. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault focuses on preserving crop seeds from around the world. In contrast, the Baekdudaegan Global Seed Vault mainly works to conserve wild plant species. Together, these vaults play an important role in protecting global biodiversity.
