Episode Info:

Today I am taking you to the most important room in the world, and we discuss a high priority for climate adaptation: plant breeding.

Ok you must have heard of gene banks and more precisely seed vaults.  There are more than 1700 in the world. This is where countries and communities store their plant genetic resources for backups, to use as references for further plant breeding. Those are very important rooms. Increasingly important as plant breeding is crucial to adapt to climate change.
Another bioeconomy story to dig into!
