📢🫒 For the first time, olive seeds have been deposited in the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, marking a historic milestone for the conservation of olive genetic diversity.

A total of 5,000 olive seeds are now safely conserved in the Arctic, complementing the invaluable collections maintained by farmers and genebanks. This achievement was made possible through collaboration between the International Plant Treaty, the International Olive Council and the World Olive Germplasm Bank of Córdoba.

As climate change, biodiversity loss and emerging pests and diseases increasingly threaten agriculture, safeguarding crop diversity is essential to building more resilient and sustainable food systems for future generations.
