Grethe Helene Evjen talks about the purpose of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault -  dubbed the “Doomsday Vault.”   The seed bank is located on a remote Norwegian island near the Arctic Ocean and is considered the ultimate safety net for the world’s seed collections, protecting them from a wide range of threats including war, natural disasters, lack of funding or simply poor agricultural management. The vault’s location deep inside a mountain in the frozen north ensures the seeds can be stored safely no matter what happens outside.

Grethe is interviewed by Lilou Mace.
