I’d say seeds.
In my country, there currently are initiatives to keep ancient seeds alive, even though it is officially illegal to sell them (thanks, Mnsnto). They are the most precious things we have, in my opinion, as they mean both surviving a potential crisis and restoring the gradually decaying quality of produce yielded by hyper-modified species.

Yes, good idea! I wonder how much we’ll end up needing stored seeds in the future or if we/AI will be able to mitigate any problems.
Is produce quality decaying? You mean where we maximize things like storage ability at the expense of flavor?
I want to visit the Svalbard Global Seed Vault sometime.
