Original Note:
This claim is incorrect. The Svalbard Global Seed Vault is owned and operated by Norway, not by the Gates or Rockefeller foundations. While these foundations have provided funding support, they are not owners of the facility. https://www.regjeringen.no/en/aktuelt/over-31-000-nye-froprover-deponerte-i-svalbard-globale-frokvelv/id3062272/ https://blog.seedsavers.org/blog/svalbard-with-cary-fowler https://www.isaaa.org/blog/entry/default.asp?BlogDate=3%2F8%2F2023
