Lise Lykke Steffensen runs the most important bank in the world
Known as the Doomsday Vault, the Svalbard Seed Bank is located hundreds of miles beyond the Arctic Circle in Norway. You need high security clearance to enter this facility built in a mountain that contains duplicates of more than one million seed samples from almost every country in the world. Lise Lykke Steffensen, CEO of NordGen, shares the facts and clears up misinformation about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault. It is owned by Norway and operated in a partnership between the Norwegian Ministry of Agriculture and Food, the Crop Trust and NordGen (a regional genebank of the five Nordic countries - Sweden, Finland, Denmark, Iceland, and Norway).
