‘Catalyst’ features a seed vault located in the desert

More from this show

One of the largest seed vaults in the world is located in the Arctic, where thousands of seed varieties are stored in case of a crisis that wipes out plants important for humankind’s survival. As we preview the latest episode of the Arizona PBS show “Catalyst: Shaping the Future,” we’ll take a look at a smaller seed vault located in the Arizona desert.
