From St. Petersburg to Mexico City to Longyearbyen, Jennifer Cockrall-King takes us on a photo tour of the international seed banks that she's visited over the past 5 years in preparation for her upcoming book. Along the way she poses the question: Are seed banks the best way to ensure a resiliency in agriculture, deliciousness at our tables, and nutrition in food?
