It all began with the Neolithic agricultural revolution, and now, centuries later, human activities remain deeply focused on seeds and their well-being. Today, we are pouring all our efforts into saving them from extinction, because it’s an absolute necessity. We must do this, as the future of our food security entirely depends on them, on our ability to preserve and safeguard their genetic memory, stored carefully in places where they are sealed in small aluminum packets and kept frozen by people who have placed them there with the utmost care. These small packets represent the world’s future food reserve. They are the only thing standing between us and catastrophic hunger. And yet, few people seem concerned or even aware. How can something so significant go unnoticed by millions?
