How do we care for the things we share? On the next Your Call, we continue our series on the global commons. This week we’ll discuss the nuts, grains and seeds that form the nutritional basis of human civilization. Our seed stock is at risk because of a growing imbalance between private and public imperatives. Last week, Norwegian scientists built a seed vault deep within an Arctic mountain. Is this enough to guarantee that the food we eat today will be available in the future? It’s Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
