imagine being one of the last person on earth and you finally went there to restart civilization but the doors are locked.

In case anyone was remotly curios. the two boxes from Canada shown, the one first looked at and the one the Bente had her hand on, are from Plant Gene Resources of Canada. They contained Hordeum Vulgare(Barley) and Glycine Max (Soy bean plant).

It’s reassuring to see every nation on earth having vested interest in preserving this vault. I hope that because everyone has skin in the game, even in a worst case scenario, thousands of years of agricultural advancement made by billions of people throughout the history of mankind would survive.

Even North Korea agreed to be part of it. That's awesome.

You know it's cold when a Canadian says it's cold.

There’s absolutely no way they don’t have hemp in the seed vault, it’s legitimately one of the most useful crops you could have

Places like this are needed, and I'm glad places like this are around the world.

As a science fiction lover and someone who has studied dystopian and post-apocalyptic fiction extensively, I can’t help but feel like this vault is a no-brainer. Sure, a scenario in which it might become necessary for human survival AND is accessed by people who would use the seeds for good purposes isn’t even all that likely, but it’s no overstatement that agriculture is what made human civilization possible in the first place. For the most part, we take that for granted way too much.

I REALLY enjoyed this video. SO simple, yet so awesome. I felt like I got to go somewhere I've always wanted to go!

[@toxichammertoe8696]

I'm glad everyone is united on preserving seeds

[@WonkieNJ]

I'm imagining some kind of epic post-apocalyptic adventure story of people finding and busting into the seed vault to bring back food seeds to a ravaged world.

How did I miss this episode. I'm from Norway and I've been a long-time subscriber of V. Pleasure seeing it now at least! :D
