"In nature's economy, the currency is not money, it is life"
~ Vandana Shiva “Earth Democracy: Justice, Sustainability and Peace”.
"I do not allow myself to be overcome by hopelessness, no matter how tough the situation. I believe that if you just do your little bit without thinking of the bigness of what you stand against if you turn to the enlargement of your own capacities, just that itself creates new potential" ~ Vandana Shiva.
You're invited to the biggest talk of the year! Internationally acclaimed activist and "Gandhi of grain", Vandana Shiva, will be sitting down with us to discuss some of our most pressing ecological and environmental issues.
Her tenacious spirit has seen her become a defender of the poor and a true advocate for Earth's democracy. Join us as we explore eco-feminism, the ugly truth of GMOs, worldview, the threat of globalisation and the importance of localisation, indigenous wisdom, regenerative futures, biodiversity, and so much more!
Vandana Shiva
Vandana Shiva is an Indian scholar, environmental activist, food sovereignty advocate, ecofeminist and anti-globalisation author.
An Indian physicist and social activist, shiva founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology, and Natural Resource Policy (RFSTN), an organization devoted to developing sustainable methods of agriculture, in 1982.
Shiva has a long history of working on grassroots campaigns to prevent clear-cut logging and the construction of large dams. She's widely known, however, as a critic of Asia’s Green Revolution, an international effort that began in the 1960s to increase food production in less-developed countries through higher-yielding seed stocks and the increased use of pesticides and fertilizers. The Green Revolution, she maintains, leads to pollution, a loss of indigenous seed diversity and traditional agricultural knowledge, and the troubling dependence of poor farmers on costly chemicals.
