Description

Seed Hunter



Nature Documentary hosted by Tara Moike and published by National Geographic in 2008 - English narration







Information

------------------------------



Seed Hunter

Solutions to this crisis lie within Mother Nature herself in the form of diverse genes found in the wild ancestors of
our staple foods - and the man to hunt them down is Dr Ken Street, the Indiana Jones of agriculture. Ken and his team
will travel to the land where agriculture began nearly 10,000 years ago. In the remotest parts of the Middle East and
Central Asia, the genetic origins of our daily bread and other food still survive. The crops growing here have taken
centuries to develop robust genetic traits that allow them to thrive in the harshest of climates. Scientists around the
world want access to these genes so they may be integrated into food crops compromised by global warming.



Dr Ken Street

 Ken Street is a 44-year-old Australian scientist, based in Syria for the past 10 years. Ken works at the International
Centre For Agricultural Research in the Dry Areas (ICARDA). Fearless and charismatic he devotes his time to scouring
ancient villages and valleys in Central Asia and the Caucasus looking for rare and wild crop seeds. He is accompanied on
the journey to Tajikistan by a team of gene hunters from Australia, USA, Armenia and Russia. Ken's work is largely
funded by ACIAR and GRDC.



Climate Change and Food Climate Change and Future Food Security

Arguably, the greatest challenge mankind has ever faced is upon us now. As climate change marches ahead at a seemingly
unstoppable pace, the implications for the world's food supply are enormous and enormously frightening. With their
commitment to finding the ancient seeds that will assure future food security, Dr Ken and others like him are on the
front lines of this battle; a battle humanity simply cannot afford to lose.





Biodiversity and Future Proofing Food Sources

Often used as a measure of a biological system's well being, it is universally agreed that biodiversity is the key to
future proofing the planet's food sources against climate change and other environmental occurrences. Dr Ken and his
team of 'gene detectives' play a vital role in this process. 





Genetically Modified Crops 

Despite their much-maligned status, genetically modified crops may yet play an important role in the future of the
global food supply. Will the imminent food crisis change the way people view this controversial area of agriculture?





Gene Banks

What are gene banks? Why is it important to store and protect the supply of the ancient crop seeds and wild relatives of
our food for future generations? Where do these gene banks exist? The recent opening of the Svalbard Seed vault in the
Arctic attracted unprecedented attention as media crews from all over the world swarmed to witness its construction.
