GIS Database
Instead of locking away seed in a vault in a mountain we are creating a virtual gene bank of seed and knowledge for all people. Everyone will have access to a key to this database not just a few select corporations. We feel that the genetic resources of seed belong to people, not corporations.
We know that a growing number of people want to use 'heritage' varieties of wheat like 'Red Fife' wheat or 'emmer'. But not all varieties grow well in all regions.
What if we could help people find varieties of crops that have a very good chance of THRIVING not just surviving in their field or garden?
People have been experimenting with different varieties for centuries. What if we could integrate the historic crop information with the climate information and soil type when the data was collected?
Then take the GPS coordinates and put that into a 'what should I grow' database with the type of crop (e.g. 'oats'). A list of varieties of oat that have done well in similar growing conditions would pop up.
With today's technology we should be able to integrate all these variables into a searchable system.
