Fuad Gaši, coordinator of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault: ‘We have more than 1.4 million samples and the door is only opened three times a year’
It has been referred to as the “Doomsday Vault” or the “End of the World Vault.” But Fuad Gaši, who has been in charge of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault’s coordination since June of this year, prefers to speak about this seed bank in a somewhat more poetic and hopeful way. He sees the institution — which is located in the Norwegian archipelago of Svalbard — as a repository of knowledge that ensures the biodiversity of our planet’s crops.
