RE: The Svalbard Global Seed Vault celebrates its 10-year anniversary by reaching the 1,000,000-seed sample milestone!

in #norway7 years ago

Hey great content as always @valth The Svalbardglobal seed vault has intrieged me since it opened ten years ago, the returning of seeds back to Syria highlights the global need for such a bank.
Im trying to comprehend over a million seeds let alone four and a half million thats some capacity! Im wondering obviously it would be a wild guess but how many seeds does the World have in total ? Food for thought....... 😊

Thanks!

Yeah, 4.5 million seeds is a lot, but I guess you can cram a lot of seeds into a 1mx50cmx50cm box.

how many seeds does the World have in total?

Hehe, that's a good question. I have no idea, and I don't think anyone knows for sure at all.
