I recently met H.E. May-Elin Stener, the very charming Norwegian Ambassador to India, and gave her a copy of my book. What struck me during our conversation was how deep the India-Norway connection runs through Prof. Swaminathan's work. Back in 1983, he proposed creating an international seed repository under permafrost, a bold idea that seemed almost futuristic then. Twenty-five years later, Norway made it a reality: the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, the Noah’s Arc of a million seed varieties from around the world lest an apocalypse were upon us! It was meaningful to share his story with someone representing a country that helped turn his vision into reality. Grab your copy if you haven't at your nearest bookstore or on Amazon. #MSSwaminathan #TheManWhoFedIndia #FoodSecurity #PriyambadaJayakumar #IndiaNorwayRelations [M.S.
