    2. And genetic monitoring of the resulting plantings, probably.
    3. The Caribbean also wants quality seed, and thinks a mobile seed bank is the way to get it.
    4. The only mobile things about New Zealand’s genebank are its collectors.
    5. A very mobile donation to the UK’s vegetable genebank.
    6. Nothing very mobile about Slow Beans 2025, but that’s the point.
