The Uruguayan government has made the first shipment of seeds to the Svalbard Global Seed Vault in Norway, in an effort to conserve the genetic diversity of wheat and barley. The samples were selected by the National Institute for Agricultural Research (INIA) and will be cataloged alongside other seeds from around the world in the vault. The plan is to continue making such shipments until a backup of all 19,592 samples in the La Estanzuela germplasm bank is established. This initiative is a strategic move to ensure the survival of seeds representing a genetic heritage adapted to Uruguay's environmental conditions.
