Product Information

The remarkable story of the Global Seed Vault--and the valiant effort to save the past and the future of agriculture Closer to the North Pole than to the Arctic Circle, on an island in a remote Norwegian archipelago, lies a vast global seed bank buried within a frozen mountain. At the end of a 130-meter long tunnel chiseled out of solid stone is a room filled with humanity's precious treasure, the largest and most diverse seed collection ever assembled: more than a half billion seeds containing the world's most prized crops, a safeguard against catastrophic starvation. The Global Seed Vault, a visionary model of international collaboration, is the brainchild of Cary Fowler, renowned scientist, conservationist, and biodiversity advocate. In SEEDS ON ICE, Fowler tells for the first time the comprehensive inside story of how the "doomsday seed vault" came to be, while the breathtaking photographs offer a stunning guided tour not only of the private vault, but of the windswept beauty and majesty of Svalbard and the enchanting community of people in Longyearbyen. With growing evidence that unchecked climate change will seriously undermine food production and threaten the diversity of crops around the world, SEEDS ON ICE offers a personal and passionate reminder that we shouldn't take our reliance on the world of plants for granted--and that, in a very real sense, the future of the human race rides on this frozen and indispensable biodiversity.

Reviews
"The Global Seed Vault is an extraordinary project, and Seeds on Ice is an extraordinary book--in equal measure fascinating, beautiful, and haunting." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction, "The Global Seed Vault is an extraordinary project, and Seeds on Ice is an extraordinary book--in equal measure fascinating, beautiful, and haunting." --Elizabeth Kolbert, author of The Sixth Extinction "The story of Svalbard's seed vault reads as an amazingly optimistic science fiction story-- but these remarkable photos remind us, happily, that's it true. For those of us struggling to keep the planet from cracking, it's a great comfort to know all about this project." --Bill McKibben, author of Eaarth: Making a Life on a Tough New Planet "I'd like to think that the future of cuisine is decided at the dinner table, but really, it begins with what you see here, and the recipes that are written for our food long before they reach the kitchen. Seeds on Ice introduces readers to our most precious culinary resource--the Svalbard Global Seed Vault--and our most urgent challenge as eaters: protecting crop diversity for the future of food." --Dan Barber, author of The Third Plate "This book is so stunning and Cary Fowler's work at the Svalbard Global Seed Vault is so important--it's a book that everyone who loves our planet should own." --Bette Midler "Here is an adventure story and an amazing success story of one man's personal, professional, and passionate crusade for the conservation of genetic diversity in the world's agricultural crops. Visionary thinking, conservation action, and international cooperation have resulted in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, promising a better future for biodiversity in agriculture. The same combination of vision, action, and cooperation will be required to provide a better future for biodiversity among wild plants and animals." --Gregory Long, President of the New York Botanical Garden "Who would survive if wheat, rice or maize were to be destroyed? To suggest such a possibility would have seemed absurd a few years ago. It is not absurd now. How real are the dangers? One might as well ask how serious is atomic warfare. The consequences of failure of one of our major food plants are beyond imagination." --Jack Harlan, President of the Crop Science Society of America
