Another batch of New Zealand's most precious pasture seeds have been delivered to a doomsday mountain vault in Norway.
The Svalbard Global Seed Vault, 120 metres inside an Arctic mountainside, has more than 930-thousand varieties of crops.
It means they can be retrieved and regrown should a disaster wipe a crucial plant species out.
Last month, seeds for ryegrass, a standard clover and a subterranean clover were sent over.
