An electronic bank that can “distribute” seeds and help achieve a greener Kuwait was launched through the efforts of environmental advocates. Called “Kuwait Seed Bank”, the aim of the project is to distribute sustainable plants, as well as, plants that have gone extinct but were refurbished through imports.
A participant in the project, Saad Al-Hayyan told an Arab paper that the goal of the electronic application is to contribute to the supply of all seeds. The project also aims for the cultivation and development of greenery for cities and deserts in order to attain a healthy environment and sustainable natural resources through the efforts of local experts.
Al-Hayyan also pointed out that the seed bank is the first of its kind in Kuwait and a distinct idea in cultivating sustainable and indigenous plants, even those that were extinct. He also told the paper that the bank has a voluntary initiative to distribute 30,000 seeds consisting of sustainable and indigenous plants to replenish the country’s environment.
