Svalbard Global Seed Vault
The future is now.
The New York Times has an excellent piece up about:
[the world’s] first secure, deep-frozen repository for backup supplies of seeds from hundreds of thousands of plant varieties that underpin agriculture
I know I’m a sucker for apocalyptic end-times talk but you’ve got to admire human ingenuity when we’re doing stuff like this.
The new repository is intended to be an insurance policy for individual countries and also for humanity more generally, should larger-scale disaster strike (anything from pestilence to an asteroid impact).
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault’s official site is here.

The root of your writing while sounding agreeable at first, did not settle perfectly with me after some time. Someplace within the sentences you managed to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and you would do nicely to help fill in all those breaks. When you can accomplish that, I would certainly end up being impressed.

Do you know any ways to help prevent content from being stolen? I’d genuinely appreciate it.
