Anyone interested in Svalbard, which focuses on crop seeds, might also be interested in the less glamorous Millennium Seed Bank which focuses on wild plant seeds: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Millennium_Seed_Bank_Partnersh...

But which is more important?
Hard to tell.

The seed vault seems focused on plants that are in productive use at this moment, while the seed bank seems to cover wild plants.

The latter may be interesting for the future if we discover that a certain plant have some kind of useful property.
