Read an interesting article today on an endeavor that hasn’t been attempted before.
Apparently there are a group of Norwegians who are attempting to preserve the world’s food supply by stashing about 3 million of the worlds crop seeds in a frozen vault on some Acrtic island. The project is called Svalbard Global Seed Vault.
Take a look at the article. I guess this is a good idea. But that would be in a perfect world…which this isn’t. Potentially this could go either way….this endeavor could be just the thing to preserve the earth’s potential to supply its inhabitants with the food it needs to live….or…..it could be what starts World War III.
Call me a pessimist but based on the way we’ve so graciously handled sharing our oil resources it is very conceivable.
Just what I think.
