Australian seed banks and future-ready farming
In Australia, there are a handful of different seed banks in operation, some focusing on preserving plant species endemic to the continent, and others prioritising the preservation of agrarian seeds and crops. These agricultural seed banks are tasked with storing a range of cereals, oilseeds, forage seeds, and other crops like hemp, cotton, and even native crops like finger limes and kakadu plums to safeguard domestic farming, food security, and plant genetics.
