S: Is for seeds hidden in vaults.

The world is starving and there is food. Did you know there was an international seed vault? Even though the world is in need of food it is being hoarded away in Norway. All of those statements are true. As of February 26th the world saw the opening of the Global Seed Vault. This is one of several seed banks, however it is the first one that they are stating is global. About a third of the 6 1/2 million seed samples now in storage are unique. Why are we not nurturing them so they are no longer extinct? Of these, two-thirds are in urgent need of regeneration. Much of the world’s crops are up against climate change. The implementation for the conservation of plant genetics' is at the source of this. Anytime Bill Gates and Monsanto get together on a common project, it’s worth digging a bit deeper behind the rocks on Spitsbergen. When you do you find some fascinating things. Along with the above mentioned add to it US agribusiness giant DuPont/Pioneer Hi-Bred, who is one of the world’s largest owners of patented genetically-modified (GMO) plant seeds; Syngenta, the Swiss-based major GMO seed company; the Rockefeller Foundation, the private group who created the “gene revolution with over $100 million of seed money since the 1970’s; CGIAR, the global network created by the Rockefeller Foundation to promote its ideal of genetic purity through agriculture change. Monsanto might be funding this storage site due with the fact that they are unleashing GMO crops in Africa very soon. They know that the GMO crops threaten the wild and hybrid crops so in case cross pollination happens it will damages the DNA of the wild flora they will have a total monopoly on the DNA of the global food supply.

The $8 million Global Seed Vault – dubbed the Doomsday Vault – has been tunneled into solid rock on a mountainside high enough above projections for sea level rise and deep in the polar permafrost that it would take extreme global warming decades or centuries to reach its contents. The bank is roomy enough to accommodate up to 4.5 million samples

Why tomorrow and why not today? When every year 15 million children die of hunger. Throughout the 1990's more than 100 million children will die from illness and starvation. Those 100 million deaths could be prevented if seeds had been planted and crops grown. The World Health Organization estimates that one-third of the world is well-fed, one-third is under-fed one-third is starving-200 people die of starvation every minute. One out of every eight children under the age of twelve in the U.S. goes to bed hungry every night. Every 3.6 seconds someone dies of hunger.

With these statistics and the F.A.C.T. we have in storage what it would take to feed those in need, can someone please tell me what are waiting for?

F.A.C.T.S stare us in the face everyday yet we ignore them. Soon it will be too late.
