Next, we turn to global seed storage and the industrial world’s seed bank system: CGIAR. Each year, roughly 90,000–100,000 seed samples are distributed to researchers, breeders, and farmers under the framework of the International Plant Treaty. We’ll look at what this system is designed to do — and ask how that compares with how it actually functions in today’s world.
