seed vault

indeed a good move to have a comprehensive seed vault like this.

but I'm not sure on how beneficial this could be if we were to face a global disaster .. just imagine an Armageddon (movie) or even an Independence Day (again movie, where else) kinda scenario. the place is some 600 miles from north pole and is buried underneath a mountain ... sigh. definitely a nightmarish task to get there.

so why is it good? at least we could conserve some of the food crops and build some redundancy ... especially with global warming threatening everything under and above the sun. just pray that your fav crop doesn't get busted :)
