Podcasts about Svalbard Global Seed Vault

In 2008, the Svalbard Global Seed Vault was built. Known as the “doomsday vault”, it is meant to ensure humanity has a chance to reseed after a catastrophic worldwide event. Many historical sources cite “Halls of Records” that were created by ancient civilizations to preserve their most advanced technologies and records prior to cataclysmic Earth changes. In addition to their long forgotten contents, these ubiquitous Halls of Records are interconnected through advanced space-time portals and act as gateways to mysterious Inner Earth civilizations who are the custodians of our true ancient wisdom.Extraterrestrial civilizations have played crucial roles in helping to create, protect, and keep secret these ancient Halls of Records for a time when surface humanity would be once again ready to understand and gain access to these secrets, and peacefully reunite with our Inner Earth brethren.Today, awakening starseeds are critical to the fulfillment of this long-term project. However, many still do not consciously realize the energy, light codes, and abilities they carry within to assist humanity as global events reach a crescendo. Comprehending our ET heritage begins with individuals recognizing and accepting the reality of their own star lineages to bridge humankind back to our ET family. Simultaneously, starseeds will activate ancient technologies, step up as healers, pilots, architects, and visionaries, all to help skillfully guide us to rejoin our galactic community.Dr. Salla presents an impressive array of historical sources, ancient records, & witness testimony detailing ancient Halls of Records, Portal's Technologies, Inner Earth, Starseed Potentials, & revelations about humanity's extraterrestrial heritage. Originally recorded on May 14, 2022, Presented here in 2 parts, and worthy of a Second Look.

We welcome back Lise Lykke Steffensen, who is soon stepping down from being CEO of NordGen, which helps run the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway. She explains why the seed bank is in a remote location, what kinds of seed duplicates are stored there, and how they address climate change and ensure diversity.

You know how everyone's heard of Everest and the Mariana Trench, right? But there are these other spots that are like, next-level remote. Like Tristan da Cunha, for starters - it's in the middle of nowhere in the South Atlantic, good luck getting there without a serious boat. Then there's the Sahara Desert, I mean, it's massive and seriously harsh, not exactly a walk in the park. And let's not forget about Veryovkina Cave, tucked away in the Caucasus Mountains, it's the deepest cave on the planet. Getting to these places? It's like playing an extreme version of hide and seek, except the hiding spots are seriously hardcore.

About 20 years ago, Cary Fowler and Geoffrey Hawtin wanted to prevent hunger and protect the world's food supply. The two men imagined a so-called “doomsday vault” for plant seeds. (A vault is a secure storage structure.) 大约 20 年前，卡里·福勒 (Cary Fowler) 和杰弗里·霍廷 (Geoffrey Hawtin) 希望防止饥饿并保护世界粮食供应。 两人想象了一个所谓的“末日金库”来存放植物种子。 （保险库是一种安全的存储结构。） Fowler and Hawtin's goal was to keep a supply of seeds safe if existing seed banks were threatened by war, climate change, or other crises. They decided to build their storage building into the side of a mountain north of the Arctic Circle. 福勒和霍廷的目标是在现有种子库受到战争、气候变化或其他危机威胁时确保种子供应安全。 他们决定将仓库建在北极圈以北的一座山的一侧。 “To a lot of people today, it sounds like a perfectly reasonable thing to do,” Fowler said from Saudi Arabia in an interview with the Associated Press. Seeds, he added, are a valuable natural resource that needs protection. “对于今天的很多人来说，这听起来是一件完全合理的事情，”福勒在沙特阿拉伯接受美联社采访时说。 他补充说，种子是一种宝贵的自然资源，需要保护。 But Fowler said: “Fifteen years ago, shipping a lot of seeds to the closest place to the North Pole that you can fly into (and) putting them inside a mountain…” did not sound reasonable. In his words, it was “…the craziest idea anybody ever had.” 但福勒说：“十五年前，将大量种子运送到距离北极最近的地方，你可以飞到（并）将它们放入山中……”听起来不太合理。 用他的话说，这是“……任何人曾经有过的最疯狂的想法。”Their idea became the Svalbard Global Seed Vault on the Norwegian island of Svalbard. The vault opened in 2008 and now holds 1.25 million seed samples from nearly every country in the world. The structure was built into the side of a mountain. It protects the seeds of over 6,000 kinds of agriculturally important plants. The Crop Trust website says: “Its purpose is to backup genebank collections to secure the foundation of our future food supply.” 他们的想法变成了位于挪威斯瓦尔巴群岛的斯瓦尔巴全球种子库。 该金库于 2008 年开放，目前保存着来自世界上几乎每个国家的 125 万份种子样本。 该结构建在山的一侧。 它保护 6,000 多种重要农业植物的种子。 农作物信托网站称：“其目的是备份基因库收藏，以确保我们未来粮食供应的基础。” Last week, Fowler and Hawtin were named the 2024 World Food Prize winners for their work. Fowler is now the U.S. special diplomat for global food security. Hawtin is an agricultural scientist from Britain. 上周，福勒和霍廷因其工作而被评为 2024 年世界粮食奖获得者。 福勒现任美国全球粮食安全特别外交官。 霍廷是一位来自英国的农业科学家。 They were named the winners of the yearly prize at the U.S. Department of State in Washington. Secretary of State Antony Blinken praised the men at the announcement for their “critical role in preserving crop diversity.” 他们被华盛顿美国国务院评为年度奖获得者。 国务卿安东尼·布林肯在宣布时赞扬了这些人“在保护作物多样性方面发挥的关键作用”。For many years, countries have created seed banks to store seeds for future use. But Fowler said he was concerned that climate change would cause disorder in agriculture. This would make the seed supply even more important. 多年来，各国建立了种子库来储存种子以供将来使用。 但福勒表示，他担心气候变化会导致农业混乱。 这将使种子供应变得更加重要。 Hawtin is an executive board member at the Global Crop Diversity Trust, an international nonprofit group. He said there were a lot of threats to crops in the past, such as insects, disease, land degradation, and political unrest. He said that climate change has made these problems worse. So, he and Fowler saw a need for additional secure seed storage. 霍廷是国际非营利组织全球作物多样性信托基金的执行董事会成员。 他说，过去农作物面临很多威胁，例如昆虫、疾病、土地退化和政治动荡。 他说，气候变化使这些问题变得更加严重。 因此，他和福勒认为需要额外安全的种子存储。 Hawtin explained that climate change is changing pests and diseases. He added, “Climate change is putting a whole lot of extra problems on what has always been significant ones.” 霍廷解释说，气候变化正在改变害虫和疾病。 他补充道，“气候变化给原本重大的问题带来了很多额外的问题。” Fowler and Hawtin said they hope winning the World Food Prize will help them raise more money for seed banks around the world. Operating them is not too costly. However, the financial support needs to continue forever. 福勒和霍廷表示，他们希望赢得世界粮食奖将帮助他们为世界各地的种子库筹集更多资金。 运营它们的成本并不太高。 然而，财政支持需要永远持续下去。 “This is really a chance to get that message out and say, look, this relatively small amount of money is our insurance policy -- our insurance policy that we're going to be able to feed the world in 50 years,” Hawtin said. 霍廷说：“这确实是一个传达信息的机会，你看，这笔相对较少的钱就是我们的保险单——我们的保险单是我们将能够在 50 年内养活全世界。” 。 Norman Borlaug established the World Food Prize. He received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1970 for his part in what is called the “Green Revolution.” That was a big effort to make crops more productive so the world's growing population would not go hungry. 诺曼·博洛格设立了世界粮食奖。 1970 年，他因在“绿色革命”中的贡献而获得诺贝尔和平奖。 这是为了提高农作物的产量而做出的巨大努力，这样世界上不断增长的人口就不会挨饿。 This fall, Fowler and Hawtin will accept the prize in Des Moines, Iowa, the city where the food prize foundation is based. They will also split the $500,000 award. This year's prize will be presented at the yearly Norman E. Borlaug International Dialogue. The conference will be held in Des Moines from October 29 to the 31. 今年秋天，福勒和霍廷将在食品奖基金会所在地爱荷华州得梅因市领奖。 他们还将瓜分 50 万美元的奖金。 今年的奖项将在一年一度的诺曼·博洛格国际对话中颁发。 会议将于10月29日至31日在得梅因举行。

The world faces a significant challenge in ensuring food security for its growing population amidst the threats posed by climate change. The increasing reliance on a narrow selection of cultivated crops due to industrial agriculture is causing a concerning reduction in the genetic diversity of plants. This narrowing pool poses a risk to global food security, making our food supply more vulnerable to pests, diseases, and changing climate conditions. Seed banks play a crucial role in combating this trend by preserving the genetic diversity of thousands of plant species, including traditional and 'forgotten' crops that are resilient to changing climate conditions and offer nutritional benefits. These facilities, alongside innovative agricultural practices, are vital in reintroducing a diversity of crops into modern agriculture. This diversification can lead to more resilient food systems that are capable of withstanding environmental stresses, thereby securing the nutritional needs of future generations. In this SDG Learncast episode, we're honored to have Dr. Stefan Schmitz, Executive Director of the ⁠Crop Trust⁠, as our distinguished guest. Dr. Schmitz brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in the fields of agricultural biodiversity and food security. He will discuss the growing importance of seed banks in the fight against the erosion of agricultural biodiversity and share insights into the Crop Trust's efforts to conserve crop diversity globally. This includes supporting key seed banks worldwide and coordinating projects like the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, aimed at ensuring the long-term preservation and availability of crop diversity for the benefit of everyone. Dr. Schmitz will delve into the challenges and opportunities in preserving agricultural biodiversity, the critical role of seed banks, and the transformative potential of reintroducing 'forgotten' crops into agriculture. He will also highlight the innovative strategies being employed to support the work of seed banks and the importance of global collaboration in safeguarding our agricultural heritage. Through this conversation, listeners will gain a deeper understanding of how preserving seed diversity and embracing innovative agricultural practices are essential steps toward a sustainable and food-secure future.

Ett frö är en förhoppning om det som en dag ska gro, men det rymmer också information om det som har varit. På så vis liknar de idéer från tidigare kulturer, reflekterar Johan Landgren. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Vad är ett frö, egentligen? Jag sitter vid köksbordet. Runt omkring mig ligger små påsar och burkar utspridda. Vissa med vackra målningar av grönsaker, andra hemvikta med nästintill oläsliga tecken på. Någonstans mellan femtio och hundra sorter skulle jag gissa att det är. I antal utgör de tusentals fröer. Vart och ett av dem bär inom sig en förhoppning. Att det en dag ska gro. Slå rot. Växa till. Bli något mer. Man kanske kan kalla det ett slags tro?Samtidigt, utanför fönstret, flyger fåglar i skytteltrafik mellan äppelträdets grenar och matstationen. Entita, blåmes, talgoxe, bergfink. För dem är frön något ytterst substantiellt: mat. Överlevnad för dagen. Enligt den brittiska intresseföreningen för fåglar, British Trust for Ornithology, behöver en blåmes energi motsvarande 24 solrosfrön, en femtedel av dess vikt, varje dag. Fröna på bordet framför mig skulle alltså kunna göda en blåmesfamilj en hel vinter! Om blåmesarna kan tänka sig att byta till en mer varierad diet, vill säga. För just de här fröerna har jag dock andra planer.Sedan femton år tillbaka kommer en del av den energi jag stoppar i mig från min egen trädgård. Jag odlar, mestadels sådant som går att äta. Det gör att jag samlat på mig en del fröer genom åren. Dels köpta, dels skördade på plats, dels tillbytta. Under denna period har jag också, den hårda vägen, lärt mig att fröförvaring är en konst. Och att jag definitivt är en amatör.I den byrå i vardagsrummet där jag förvarar mina fröer, i vilken temperaturen över året växlar mellan 15 och 30 grader, förlorar de flesta fröer sin förmåga att gro inom en femårsperiod. Vissa tidigare än andra. Exempelvis kan man undra hur palsternackan har kunnat klara sig i konkurrensen när dess grobarhet sjunker rejält redan efter ett års lagring. Att den därtill, i likhet med de flesta rötter vi odlar här i norr, inte sätter frö förrän andra året gör den inte till den enklaste grönsak att kultivera på egen hand. Mycket lättare är det med andra, som till exempel pumpa och tomat. Vad gäller dessa kan man både äta och ha kakan kvar. Varje fruktkropp innehåller mängder av fröer som enkelt kan torkas och sparas för eget bruk.Några som länge fått äran för att förvara fröer på ett exemplariskt vis är de gamla egyptierna. Enligt historien, som arkeologen Gabriel Moshenka undersöker närmare i en artikel om fröhistoria och myten om mumievetet, lyckades forskare i mitten av 1800-talet odla vete från fröer hittade i Cheopspyramiden. Som Moshenka visar är tyvärr hela historien en myt, och en synnerligen långlivad sådan. Än idag används den i olika sammanhang som en symbol för livskraft och återuppståndelse. En lämplig grogrund för att, som Moshenka uttrycker det, svindla turister, trädgårdsmästare och bönder. Som så mycket annat säljer fröer bättre om de serveras med en riktigt bra historia. Tilläggas bör kanske att egyptiernas tanke med att placera frö i sina gravkammare knappast var att fröerna, tusentals år senare, skulle planteras av ett gäng bleka kolonisatörer hundratals mil norrut. Fröna var tänkta för livet på andra sidan, i vilket grobarheten torde förhålla sig till helt andra parametrar än våra.Ett mer naturvetenskapligt förhållningssätt till frökonservering hittar man hos ”Svalbard Global Seed Vault”, ett internationellt frösamarbete finansierat av norska staten och administrerat av Nordiskt genresurscentrum. Frövalvet, som ligger någon kilometer utanför Longyearbyn, invigdes 2008 och består av ett antal lagerrum som sprängts ut 120 meter in berggrunden. På grund av permafrosten har lokalerna närmast perfekta förhållanden: låg luftfuktighet och en konstant temperatur på –18 grader. Även utan tekniska hjälpmedel kan man där förvara en stor del av världens frösorter på ett sätt som gör att de kan övervintra i hundratals år. Till Frövalvet kan stater vända sig för att säkerställa att lokala frösorter inte förloras för alltid, i händelse av storskaliga naturkatastrofer eller långvariga krig. För några år sedan kunde man läsa i dagstidningarna att ett första sådant uttag av fröer gjorts, av Syrien, några år efter att den egna fröbanken hamnat mitt i stridslinjen.Liksom fröförvaring är en konst är fröodling det. Visst går det att plocka en kärna från ett äpple du just köpt och stoppa ned den i jorden. Den kommer troligen att gro, och om förutsättningarna är någorlunda gynnsamma, växa upp till ett äppelträd. Men med största sannolikhet kommer det inte ge samma sorts frukt som den du just ätit, då äppelblomman som fröet härstammar från pollinerats av pollen från blommor på andra äppelsorter med delvis andra genuppsättningar. Kanske blir det ändå ett gott äpple, och en helt ny sort är född.Jag sitter med mina fröer. Väger dem i handen, mäter dem mellan fingertopparna. Allt som göms i dem. Inte bara gener, utan också information om vad vart och ett av fröna varit med om. Jordmån, vattentillgång, temperatur är registrerad. På så sätt liknar fröna de idéer från tidigare kulturer, nedtecknade på papyrusblad och pergament, som vi ännu idag går tillbaka till. Hoprullade skrifter. Också för de flesta av dem är originalen sedan länge förlorade. Vi vet till exempel inte vad som inspirerade Hesiodos att i ”Verk och dagar”, på sjungande hexameter, nedteckna en lång rad instruktioner och förmaningar om konsten att odla. Eller vilka odlingsexperiment som föregick Columellas lexikon om romerskt jordbruk, ”De Re Rustica”. De manuskript som existerar idag är till största del traderade kopior av tidigare manuskript, vilka nedtecknats och sparats i bibliotek runt om i världen.Och även om det största av biblioteken, det i Alexandria, brann upp, och med det många oersättliga tankar och idéer, är det tack vare de bibliotekarier och skrivare som arbetade där, och på andra platser i det vidsträckta romerska riket, som ändå något finns kvar. Vi kanske inte vet exakt vad som ligger bakom Hesiodos och Columellas tankegods – men vi har det viktigaste kvar – idéerna. På samma sätt är det med äpplen och päron, palsternackor och pumpor. Vi kan inte med säkerhet veta deras ursprung, men vi kan ta ett bett av dem. Känna smaken och konsistensen. Låta dem fylla magsäcken. Sönderdelas och spridas i kroppen.Skicka därför, när du smälter maten, en tanke till alla dåtida, nutida och framtida fröarkivarier och bibliotekarier. Till Svalbard, som sägs vara säkrat även för de värsta klimatscenarierna. Och till biblioteken som i kulvertar runt om i världen, ofta djupt under jord, förvarar vårt tankegods till kommande generationer.Johan Landgren, poet och litteraturvetareLitteratur:Gabriel Moshenska: “Esoteric Egyptology, Seed Science and the Myth of Mummy Wheat”, Open Library of Humanities 3(1), 2017. https://doi.org/10.16995/olh.83Hesiodos: Theogonin samt Verk och dagar.

In this episode of Planet A, the ‘father' of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, Cary Fowler, takes us on an extraordinary journey through his mission to safeguard the world's agricultural heritage. Placed deep in the Arctic, the Seed Vault stands as a global insurance, protecting millions of seed samples from the growing threats of climate change. Dr. Fowler shares his thoughts on the connection between food security and climate change, highlighting the importance of increasing diversity in crops to ensure their resilience against the changing climate. A problem which might be eased by what Dr. Fowler calls ‘Adapted Crops and Soils'.Dive into his perspective, including both optimism and caution, as he acknowledges the gravity of our planetary crisis yet reveals promising advancements that could pave the way to a hopeful, food-secure future.

In January 2008, seeds began arriving at the world's first global seed vault, buried deep in a mountain on an Arctic island, 1,000km north of the Norwegian coast.The vault was built to ensure the survival of the world's food supply and agricultural history in the event of a global catastrophe.In 2019, Louise Hidalgo spoke to the man whose idea it was, Dr Cary Fowler.(Photo: Journalists and cameramen outside the entrance of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in 2008.

He is the author of the bestselling books The Knowledge: How to Rebuild Our World from Scratch and Origins: How the Earth Shaped Human History, which has been translated into 26 languages. He writes for the Guardian, The Times and New Scientist. Copies of The Knowledge exist on the surface of the Moon, and in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. His new book, Being Human, is a unique reframing of human history as shaped by our physical abilities and limitations.

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).

Batten down the hatches this week, everyone! This podcast episode is going UNDERGROUND to discuss doomsday bunkers, Y2K, Albanian Bunker Fest and survival in a post-apocalyptic environment. Tune in for a lively game of “Which Bunker is Bogus?” as we highlight three bunkers — each more fanciful than the last — from the Svalbard Global Seed Vault (popularized by Cecilia Blomdahl), an Oreo Vault and an unbelievable story about a West Virginia man named Dale Trusdale. After exploring life below the surface, we shift our sights up to the Greek Orthodox monastery of Mount Athos to introduce you to a monk named Michael Tolotos who, legend has it, died in 1938 without ever having seen a woman. Imagine his surprise to hear four women discussing that possibility on a podcast in 2023! After we explore the underground realms and mountaintop Greek monasteries, we come back to the surface to take questions from listeners on the following:  A two year relationship ends after a woman was caught aimlessly doodling her ex's last name with her name.  How many times is too many to get your teen out of trouble?

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.

Join 5x15 for a thrilling investigation into whale science and animal communication with Tom Mustill, author of the ground-breaking new book How to Speak Whale and Lucy Jones author of Losing Eden. How could breakthroughs in science change our relationship with animals forever? In 2015, wildlife filmmaker Tom Mustill was whale watching when a humpback breached onto his kayak and nearly killed him. After a VIDEO CLIP of the event went viral, Tom found himself inundated with theories about what happened. He became obsessed with trying to find out what the whale had been thinking and sometimes wished he could just ask it. In the process of making a film about his experience, he discovered that might not be such a crazy idea. In this special event, Tom tell's the story of the pioneers in a new age of discovery, whose cutting-edge developments in natural science and technology are taking us to the brink of decoding animal communication – and whales, with their giant mammalian brains and sophisticated vocalisations, offer one of the most realistic opportunities for us to do so. Using ‘underwater ears,' robotic fish, big data and machine intelligence, leading scientists and tech-entrepreneurs across the world are working to turn the fantasy of Dr Dolittle into a reality, upending much of what we know about these mysterious creatures. But what would it mean if we were to make contact? And with climate change threatening ever more species with extinction, would doing so alter our approach to the natural world? Enormously original and hugely entertaining, How to Speak Whale is an unforgettable look at how close we truly are to communicating with another species – and how doing so might change our world beyond recognition. Tom Mustill is a biologist turned filmmaker and writer, specializing in stories where people and nature meet. His film collaborations, many with Greta Thunberg and David Attenborough, have received numerous international awards, including two Webbys, a BAFTA, and an Emmy nomination. They have been played at the UN and COP 26, and been shared by heads of state, the World Health Organization, and Guns N' Roses. He lives in London with his wife Annie, daughter Stella and the inhabitants of his small but surprisingly deep pond. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox. Losing Eden took Jones from forest schools in East London to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault via primeval woodlands, Californian laboratories and ecotherapists' couches. Praise for How To Speak Whale ‘We rarely pause to consider what animals think or feel, or question whether their inner lives resemble our own. Tom Mustill's fascinating and deeply humane book shows us why we must do so – and what we, and the planet, could stand to gain by it' Greta Thunberg ‘A rich, fascinating, brilliant book that opens our eyes and ears to worlds we can scarcely imagine' George Monbiot, Sunday Times bestselling author of Regenesis 'Scary, important and brilliant' Philip Hoare, author of Leviathan 'Extraordinary' Christiana Figueres, former executive secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change, and co-author of The Future We Choose With thanks for your support for 5x15 online.

A little known aspect of Bill Gates's plan to take over the planet and change humanity forever is his involvement in the building of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. This is where the real seeds are kept, far away from the sheep that are forced to eat GMO food. Monsanto's role in destroying the planet is well documented, but how they work to suppress all of the negative information about them is truly devious and Machiavellian. As Henry Kissinger once mocked, if you control the food then you control the people. So who is in control of our food, what are they putting in it, and what is the plan for all of us?

Stefan Schmitz, Executive Director of the Global Crop Diversity Trust, joined GFSP director Caitlin Welsh on this episode of Reset the Table to consider the role of biodiversity in securing global food supplies amid climate change, conflict, and other ongoing crises, and the role of gene banks in protecting biodiversity. Mr. Schmitz describes a visit to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, a facility in Norway's Svalbard archipelago, which safeguards millions of seed duplicates from thousands of gene banks around the world. Later, Mr. Schmitz and Ms. Welsh discuss how the Crop Trust's operations address vulnerabilities in the global food system exacerbated by the Russia-Ukraine War, and help protect agricultural biodiversity worldwide. 

In Norway, there is a building that contains a backup of the world's crops. The teams there are ready to help save humanity if things go sideways with the world's food supply.

The Epoch Times published a piece by Alice Giordano April 15, 2022 titled 'Girls Are Main Target of Transgender Movement, Advocates Say' in which a compelling case is made that teen girls are especially vulnerable as public schools across the country increasingly affirm and promote transgenderism. What makes teen girls so especially vulnerable is a combination of factors, including but not limited to aggressive campaigning by proponents of so-called transgender rights, the teaching of Gender Theory in public schools, and poor body-image and self-esteem due to the combination of the bombardment of sexualized imagery of other teen girls on social media like Tik-Tok and Instagram and the awkwardness inherent to changes which come with puberty. Next month being Pride Month in the U.S., we will see major corporations rolling out rainbow colored versions of their logos, as well as virtue-signaling ad campaigns carefully crafted to one-up all their competitors for who is the most Progressive on this particular issue. Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who is the Wokest of them all? My own personal theory is that teen girls are particular targets of transgender activists for much the same reason so many more boys in the U.S. are diagnosed with ADHD in American public schools. Girls are, due to so much less testosterone and so much more estrogen than boys, naturally more compliant and acquiescent to efforts at social engineering. Therefore, they are much more likely to go along with the transgender movement when the authority figures in their lives strongly encourage them to be. To call this tragic is an understatement. To say that it is unnatural and abhorrent is putting things mildly. Meanwhile, my ability to socialize, communicate online, get and keep work, or even keep my own children would be nullified if the radical Left had its way for one simple reason: I would encourage parents to flee American public schools like they're literally on fire rather than subject our children to this barbaric confusion. But "what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and yet forfeit his soul?" If we allow ourselves to be cowed into silence and submission by such threats to our Christian liberty and reason, we will have committed ourselves to destruction also along with the barbarians at the gate. Teen girls feeling afraid and frustrated should not only have the LGBTQ+ movement to look to for purpose and belonging. And transition surgeries and hormone therapy are, if you ask me, a rather sick and twisted form of gang initiation ceremony preying on our impressionable young ladies at the most vulnerable of times. Those who disagree with me most vehemently would silence me on the basis of the claim that it is just such remarks and assertions which cause transgendered persons to end their lives. But I disagree with them here too. It is not because of an overabundance of Christian calls to affirm God-given biological gender over and against androgyny that transgendered persons commit suicide. Rather, it is because we have too meekly accepted sneering malice carrying the day as it forces out Biblical ethics with regards to gender and sexuality. The Church in America, for its part, must provide a clear and resounding alternative for the confused. Like a theological and philosophical kind of Svalbard Global Seed Vault, and like the monasteries which preserved books and manuscripts through the Dark Ages, Christians who hold to God's standard of truth, goodness, and beauty can rescue those being led away to the slaughter here, and must all the more as varied threats of persecution are leveled to try to stop us. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/garrett-ashley-mullet/support

The Instant is the outstanding new book from Amy Liptrot, Sunday Times bestselling author of The Outrun. She joins us on the eve of publication for a very special event in conversation with Lucy Jones, author of Losing Eden. The Outrun is a book about living on the edge, about the pull between island and city, and about the ability of the sea, the land, the wind and the moon to restore life and renew hope. It won both the Wainwright Prize and the PEN Ackerley Prize, and was a BBC Radio 4 Book of the Week. Oscar nominee Saoirse Ronan has just been confirmed in the leading role in the forthcoming film adaptation. The Instant picks up where The Outrun left off. Wishing to leave the quiet isolation of her life on Orkney, Amy books a one-way flight to Berlin, rents a shared flat and looks for work. Searching for new experiences, she explores the city's streets, nightclubs and parks and seeks out the city's wildlife - goshawks, raccoons and hooded crows. And she looks for love through the screen of her laptop. The Instant is many things - luminous and intensely honest, powerful and poignant. Amy Liptrot is the author of The Outrun, a Sunday Times bestseller. She writes columns and reviews for various magazines and newspapers including the Guardian and the Spectator, and recently presented the BBC Radio 4 series The New Anatomy of Melancholy. Lucy Jones is a writer and journalist based in Hampshire, England. She previously worked at NME and the Daily Telegraph, and her writing on culture, science and nature has been published in BBC Earth, BBC Wildlife, The Sunday Times, the Guardian and the New Statesman. Her first book, Foxes Unearthed, was celebrated for its 'brave, bold and honest' (Chris Packham) account of our relationship with the fox.

The guys get together for Episode 46 to celebrate Ready Slow's 10,000th download—and they take stock on all the trouble they've gotten into since the start of the show. They discuss wedding-demon season in NY, manic shopping, Juneteenth, grade school crushes, and the point in which inclusion becomes exclusion. Shane shares some big news, and Shean has a miscommunication at a wedding. The guys also make plans to conquer the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway. 

Are seeds alive? What are they made of? Here in Vermont it's planting time, and we've been getting a lot of questions about seeds from kids around the world. In this episode we'll explore the importance of preserving seed diversity with Hannes Dempewolf of the Global Crop Diversity Trust. Crop Trust manages a repository of seeds from around the world at the Global Seed Vault in Svalbard, Norway, above the Arctic Circle. Plus, ethnobotanist and Abenaki scholar Fred Wiseman shares a little bit about a project called Seeds of Renewal, which aims to find seeds traditionally grown by Abenaki people in our region and return them to cultivation. Download our learning guides: PDF | Google Slide | Transcript More Plant Episodes: How Do Big Plants Grow From Such Small Seeds? The Svalbard Global Seed Vault contains an enormous wealth of seeds from around the world. Unlike other seed banks, the vault is designed not to be used unless there are no other options in other seed banks. Seed banks are places where seeds are stored for future use in case of a disaster or crop failure, and are sometimes given out to help establish new populations of heritage or rare plants and crops. Seed banks also promote genetic diversity by keeping many varieties of seeds from many different plant species. "Are seeds alive?" - Evie, 5, Hawaii Yes, seeds are very much alive! At least the seeds that we use to grow food are alive. Seeds can die if they're not properly cared for, if they get too hot or cold or wet.  But under the right conditions, they're just dormant. "It means they're sleeping basically," Dempewolf says.  "Seeds are dormant and they need to be activated to grow. They need light to grow, along with humidity and warmth, that's the conditions that allow seeds to grow." "Different species of plants have very different kinds of seeds and different types of seeds also need very different conditions to grow. Some grow with very, very little humidity with very little wetness, and some need a lot. Some need to be submerged in you know under water for a while until they can grow. Some need to be frozen first before they can grow. Some seeds are made that they have to first be eaten by an animal and then pooped out again, so they can grow. Some grow with very, very little wetness, and some need to be submerged underwater for a while until they can grow. Some need to be frozen first before they can grow. Seeds are amazingly complex."

Hace unas semanas se dio a conocer que la Comisión Nacional para el Conocimiento y Uso de la Biodiversidad (CONABIO), inauguró un banco comunitario de semillas en el ejido Unión Zapata, ubicado en los Valles Centrales del estado de Oaxaca. Los bancos de semillas son parte de los esfuerzos que diferentes países han desarrollado para salvar el recurso de germoplasma de diversas plantas. A nivel mundial también existe una reserva de semillas que funciona como un tipo arca de Noé, la cual busca rescatar y conservar la vida verde en nuestro planeta. En este podcast, se abordará la importancia y finalidad de la conservación de las semillas mediante el uso de bancos de semillas.

This episode highlights the importance and key features of a great global initiative, which aims at preserving crop diversity for posterity.

A little known aspect of Bill Gates’s plan to take over the planet and change humanity forever is his involvement in the building of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. This is where the real seeds are kept, far away from the sheep that are forced to eat GMO food. Monsanto’s role in destroying the planet is well documented, but how they work to suppress all of the negative information about them is truly devious and Machiavellian. As Henry Kissinger once mocked, if you control the food then you control the people. So who is in control of our food, what are they putting in it, and what is the plan for all of us?

 Yep, it's A Bug's Life, come alive.  Collecting seeds is a long-term gig, but it has to be done if the colony (that's us humans) wants to survive.  And even if you're not on a little island or surrounded by hungry grasshoppers, there's a reason to collect as many good seeds as you can, so the colony can be healthy and successful through the winter and the upcoming year.  Everyone is finally having to pay attention, whether they want to or not, to the supply chain and the concept of food security.  The Victory Garden concept that our grandparents and great-grandparents talked about has finally hit home, and it seems like everyone is realizing that a home garden might be a really good thing.  So what's the best way to safeguard success?  With things that work really well in your own space.  Local.  Adapted.  And tested to be successful in the regions where you plant them.If you've seen the movie, you know that Flik, Atta, and the colony understand the amount of work it takes to bring food into our larders, to support a community.  You have to start early in the year with growing and the harvest, to be successful, On top of that, what grows on one little island space might not be the same as something that thrives a few miles away.  But with a little bit of individuality, hard work, and utilization of the strengths each one of us might bring through the differences in all of us (read:  diversity), we'll make it.  The San Diego Seed Company sells locally adapted seeds are just that concept, come to life.  Today, we'll speak with Brijette Pena, who strives to find proven regional plants for plentiful and healthy harvests.  San Diego is the perfect area to test the boundaries of garden elasticity, with greatly varying microclimates, terrains and soil quality.  Not only does San Diego Seed Company sell seeds, but they offer classes, seed cleaning services, run test gardens, and are active in the community space with generous donations of time, educational services and product to schools and other local organizations.Because when the last leaf falls, it's a good thing to have the pantry stocked.  These are the people to help us do just that.Links:https://sandiegoseedcompany.com/ https://www.nlc.org/the-30-most-populous-cities https://sandiegoseedcompany.com/our-history-and-quality/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego https://www.caryfowler.com/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svalbard_Global_Seed_Vault https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.1111/1365-2745.12854 https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120623/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

We had the great pleasure to interview Dr. Cary Fowler at his Over the River Farm in upstate New York. Dr. Fowler is perhaps best known as the "father" of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, described by former UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon as an "inspirational symbol of peace and food security for the entire humanity." The Seed Vault provides ultimate security for more than 850,000 unique crop varieties, the raw material for all future plant breeding and crop improvement efforts. He proposed the creation of this Arctic facility to Norway, headed the international committee that developed the plan for its establishment, and now chairs the international council that oversees its operations. He was gracious enough to spend the day with us and discuss his farm, heritage breed animals, biodiversity and of course seeds.Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/agriCulturePodcast)

In this fun and interactive episode, Joanie Cooper, Shaun Shepherd, and Franki Baccellieri of the Temperate Orchard Conservancy (TOC) share their passion for preserving varieties of fruit that would otherwise likely be extinct. As members of the Home Orchard Society, Joanie, Shaun, and Franki share a love for growing, exploring, and protecting fruit. When mutual friend Nick Botner was no longer able to care for his own collection of over 4500 apple varieties, Joanie, Shaun, and Franki knew they had to take action. In 2011, they began cloning the apple trees and in 2012 the TOC was born and is now located at Almaty Farm in Molalla, Oregon.Now, TOC has the largest private collection of distinct apple varieties in the world, and has gained international attention. Cary Fowler of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault even provided TOC grants to provide fencing, a well, irrigation, and other construction needs.As a fun bonus, I was able to try some varieties of apples on the episode that I never even knew existed.

In January 2008, seeds began arriving at the world's first global seed vault, buried deep inside a mountain on an Arctic island a-thousand kilometres north of the Norwegian coast. The vault was built to ensure the survival of the world's food supply and its agricultural history in the event of a global catastrophe. Louise Hidalgo has been speaking to the man whose idea it was, American agriculturalist Cary Fowler.(Photo: journalists and cameramen outside the entrance of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault that was officially opened on 26th February 2008.

Welcome to episode eleven of the Climate, Mind and Behavior Podcast. Each episode, we’ll explore groundbreaking intersections between climate change, resilience, contemplative practice and human behavior. Deep inside an arctic mountain on a remote island off Norway is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Known by many as a frozen “Garden of Eden” and “Noah’s Ark” of plant life, it’s a bunker filled… The post Ep 11: A Frozen Garden of Eden with Dr. Cary Fowler appeared first on Garrison Institute.

ORIGINAL AIRDATE: February 12th, 1990 --- A friend enlists MacGyver's help in continuing her father's quest for an ancient artifact. MISSION: MacGyver reconnects with an old friend shortly after her father's passing. She believes her father was killed just as he was closing in on an ancient treasure and she'll need MacGyver's help to prove it. This week's highlights include: Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Facility) The Svalbard Global Seed Vault (Norwegian: Svalbard globale frøhvelv) is a secure seed bank on the Norwegian island of Spitsbergen near Longyearbyen in the remote Arctic Svalbard archipelago, about 1,300 kilometres (810 mi) from the North Pole.

The topic of GM plants raises strong opinions and many questions. This week, the Royal Society published answers to some of those questions. Adam speaks to Professor Ottoline Leyser, plant science expert and Head of the Sainsbury Lab in Cambridge. She was involved in writing the responses and Adam quizzes her on the possible issues with GM crops. Institutes from around the world made deposits to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault this week. More than 8,000 varieties of crops from Germany, Thailand, New Zealand, and the World Vegetable Center arrived at the Vault, located on a remote Norwegian archipelago, to be stored deep within the permafrost. Reporter Marnie Chesterton was there to see it happen, and take a tour of this normally inaccessible place. The Vault is located within the Arctic Circle, and helps to protect the biodiversity of some of the world’s most important crops against climate change, war and natural disaster. This week Professor Frances Arnold was awarded the Millennium Technology Prize; the Finnish version of the Nobel Prize. Her work is a process called Directed Evolution, and involves creating batches of mutant proteins to see if the mutations make them better at certain functions. Dolphins use ultrasound to echolocate. Until recently, scientists did not quite know how. Making ultrasonic noises normally requires some hard surfaces such as metal, and dolphins don’t have metal in their blowholes. Acoustic scientists Aaron Thode at the Scripps Institute of Oceanography in San Diego thinks he’s solved this conundrum, and it involves snot. Producer: Jen Whyntie

In today’s lesson, entitled Seeds for Humanity, you will hear a passage about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway where a group of scientists have been planning ahead against a possible “doomsday” future. Answers can be found on the KA Voicecast website.  Be sure to listen to the Key Vocabulary bonus track! 

1300 km past the Arctic Circle, nestled in the permafrost, amongst inhabitants like polar bears and reindeer, lies the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. In the media, it’s better known as the “Doomsday Vault”. The vault contains backup copies of our world’s seeds...it protects the genetic diversity of our crops in case of large-scale disasters. The location was chosen in 1983 by the Nordic gene bank. Originally, they had used an old coal mine to store containers of seeds. The coal mines were so big that they had the idea to include the seeds from many other gene banks in this secure storage. But at the time, the project couldn’t get the international or financial support that it needed and it was put on hold. In 2004 when The International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture was taken into force then the project was started again. The facility was opened in 2008.

Wheat has, since the dawn of agriculture, been especially treasured amongst all of the food crops, and is now the most widely cultivated food plant on the planet. However, the relationship between humans and wheat has changed a great deal in recent times.With a high-profile documentary film, 'The Grain Divide', about to go on global release, Dan Saladino discovers a worldwide movement of farmers, bakers and breeders rethinking and rediscovering wheat - from long-lost varieties and flavours to re-imagining the future of our relationship with this grain.The film's Director, JD McLelland, explains how his film aims to change perceptions of wheat - and why this matters. Dan also talks to one of the stars of the film, chef Dan Barber - who's breeding a new variety of wheat named Barber Wheat, and is leading the charge to look again at the taste of wheat.On the archipelago of Svalbard, far north of the northernmost point of mainland Norway, is the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. Tunneled into the permafrost there lies a store of seeds like no other - which serves as a 'backup' facility, with samples from every country in the world. It houses the largest collection of wheat varieties on the planet. Dr Cary Fowler, who helped to set up the seed vault - reveals about the role wheat's past has to play in our future.Dan also meets Andy Forbes from Brockwell Bake, sourdough specialist Vanessa Kimbell and author of "Our Daily Bread - A History of the Cereals" - Professor Åsmund Bjørnstad... as well as Gotland farmer Curt Niklasson, whose life has been changed forever by the contents of a wooden treasure chest.Presenter: Dan Saladino Producer: Rich Ward.
