The Global Seed Vault in Norway’s Svalbard archipelago, sometimes known as the”doomsday vault,” serves as a global reserve in the event of natural and man-made disasters

The Norwegian government on Tuesday signed a deal to start stockpiling grain, saying the COVID-19 pandemic, a war in Europe and climate change have made it necessary.
The deal to store 30,000 tons of grain in 2024 and 2025 was signed by agriculture and food minister Geir Pollestad, finance minister Trygve Slagsvold Vedum and four private companies. The wheat, which will belong to the Norwegian government, will be stored in already existing facilities by the companies in facilities across the country. Three of the companies will store at least 15,000 tons this year.
Companies “are free to invest in new facilities and decide for themselves where they want to store the emergency grain, but they must make the grain available to the state if needed,” the government said.
Norway’s ministry for agriculture and food said, “the building up of a contingency stock of food grains is about being prepared for the unthinkable.”
“There should be an extra level of security in the event of major disruptions in the international trade systems or failure of national production,” Slagsvold Vedum said. “This is an important part of the government’s work to strengthen national preparedness.”
Norway will sign further stockpiling contracts in the coming years, with the goal of building up the reserve until 2029. The aim is to have some 82,500 tons of grain in storage by the end of the decade “so that we then have enough grain for three months’ consumption by Norway’s population in a crisis situation that may arise,” Pollestad told Norwegian broadcaster NRK.
Norway has 5.6 million people.
Last year, the Scandinavian nation said it would spend 63 million kroner ($6 million) per year on stocking up on grain.
Norway had stored grain in the 1950s but closed down its storage sites in 2003 after deciding they were no longer needed.
However, following Russia’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Norway set up a commission to evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of its emergency preparedness systems which recommended stockpiling grain products.
The oil-rich country, which has supported Ukraine, also houses the Global Seed Vault in its Svalbard archipelago, some 1,300 kilometers (800 miles) from the North Pole.
Since 2008, gene banks and organizations around the world have deposited nearly 1 million samples of seeds at the vault to back up their own collections in case of human-caused or natural calamities.
The Norwegian government funded the construction cost, while an international nonprofit organization pays for operational costs.
The Global Seed Vault was put in that location, because its the safest location for when the Earth rolls over through 90° degrees during the micronova cataclysm and global flooding.
It’s back to the bronze age, but there’s a definite attempt by various cultures to be the dominant post nova culture.
Sure, there’s a resource war against Russia, and the BRICS, and the reason why the Nazis don’t care about the debt, because they know what is coming.
The British and Amerikan Nazis don’t give a shit about their delapidated and fractured countries.
Nazi UK has built substantial underground facilities for their elites to ride out the nova flooding, which will deluge the UK completely. After the nova induced 90° flip, the UK and Norway will be just above the new equator. We know Norway has been here before, because they’ve found fossilised trees with ‘no growth rings’, as in, ecquitorial growth.
There’s no need for a Nazi cull, because nature will do it.
Those who survive, they’ll be blessed with a new golden age, just like the first days of Spring.
30,000 tons is approx. 50% of a grain ships capacity (web search).
Something not right here for 5.5m pop.?
“Norway had stored grain [since] the 1950s but closed down its storage sites in 2003 after deciding they were no longer needed.”
Yes, the same idiots that closed down the facilities in 2003 and actually destroyed several of them, are now paying private companies to get access to new ones…
BTW: Today those idiots are warmongers and have just given the US 12 military bases in Norway…
“…the war in Ukraine, the pandemic, and climate change…”
Those of us who believe all these are bogus might inquire of those who believe the last two are bogus, why the war in Ukraine is somehow “genuine”…
ZWOG could be preparing some script/scenario where they’ll starve the whites & just feed the wogs in some future ‘crisis’.
Another smart thing Norway could do is declare that they’re pulling out of Nato.
That way Russia will not put Norway on their Sarmat hit list.
I have been all for prepping, but, ummm, 2 of the 3 reasons given for Norway stockpiling provisions are the convid-1984 “pandemic” and “climate change”?? Why not throw in butterflies going rogue with machine guns and Darth Vader’s Death Star roasting the place with a fart ray as they would be about as factually valid. Here’s an idea, just tell the f*cking truth; the Orcs are on the loose and running amok and the Jews are homicidal maniacs hellbent on destroying civilization.
Norway got the bread, we got the circus. In the run-up to next week’s election we’ve got Angela Rayner of the Labour Party saying every borough will have to take its fair share of immigrants. What she really means but dare not say it is every working-class borough will have to take their share, because the rich who now bribe Labour instead of bribing the Tories aren’t paying out to buy immigrant neighbours.
At least it’s doing Labour’s cause no favours because most people who hear that said won’t vote for them. They still don’t get it, this immigration nonsense has to end. We don’t. Fucking. Want them.
