Syrian Seed Bank to Lebanon

In the Syrian city of Aleppo, known because of the heavy battles in the Syrian civil war, there is a seed bank that is particularly precious since it contains seeds important in the light of climate change, since they are particularly well suited for dry regions. A sister bank is now started in Terbol, Lebanon, which comprises currently 30,000 duplicates.
