Known as the Doomsday Vault, the Svalbard Seed Bank is located hundreds of miles beyond the Arctic Circle in Norway. You need high security clearance to enter this facility built in a mountain that contains duplicates of more than one million seed samples from almost every country in the world. Lise Lykke Steffensen, CEO of NordGen, shares the facts and clears up misinformation about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It is owned by Norway and operated in a partnership between the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Crop Trust and NordGen (a regional genebank of the five Nordic countries - Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Norway).

Lise Lykke Steffensen runs the most important bank in the world

At the top of Norway near the Arctic Circle, you will find the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Like you and I back up our phones and computers, seed banks around the world serve as the ultimate insurance policy for the world’s food supply. They store copies of every important crop variety available in the world today. Their goal is give future generations options. Whether we face war, climate change, or population growth, they make sure that we have seeds to replant and genetic diversity in our food supply for years to come. My guest today is Lise Lykke Steffensen. She is the Director of NordGen or the Nordic Genetic Resource Center. NordGen runs the Svalbard Global Seed Vault along with the Norwegian Ministry of Agricutlure and Food and the Crop Trust. Their mission is to preserve and promote the sustainable use of the genetic resources within plants, farm animals, and forestry in the Nordic countries.  Join us as we discuss the importance of genetic diversity and the role of seed keepers in ensuring our future food supply.  Episode Transcript   Like the show? Consider becoming a patron on Substack.
