Love her! She speaks the truth. She is truly an inspiration to me. Why I've changed my habits of living at home & the way I garden, cook, and teach my children.
Love this woman's beliefs, been saving seeds for over 35 yrs now, I have so many of her beliefs instilled in me, well before I ever heard her, but I am a kin to her thinking, great woman, keep up the good work Vandana Shiva.

Cool interview, thanks. She is so 'on the ball', especially when it comes to corporate attempts to control the food we eat.
Thank you for making this video... amazing words and insight....
Yes, you should be able to reach her on these contact emails mentioned in the 'Contact Us' section of Navdanya's website. Unfortunately youtube doesn't let me post any urls on the comments section. If you have any difficulty finding the link, do let me know.
Thank God for people like Vandana Shiva. The Earth is ours. We must protect it. It is our responsibility while we are here to try to do our own little bit, even if it's on the smallest scale. God bless her- some woman!
@zxzx191 Thank you for your encouragement. She's amazing, isn't she!!
amazing women
THNX FOR SHARING THIS VID, THATS AMAZING,
@EcoWALKthetalk both of you are!
Mother Earth herself. She could sort the whole world left to her own resources. She puts it a;; into understanble words
Thank you friends for leaving your kind comments.
@derekderek it's a violation of a fundamental right - farmers have been saving seeds for thousands of years - it's only in the last 2 decades that this very right to life, to biological knowledge has been privatised for profit.
oh, in such case please try to create awareness through social media.
@derekderek It is not. There are many places that grown and save seeds (including heirloom). I had the pleasure to meet some of the biggest farms (at the Green Fest). But it is the USA, where Monsanto started spreading their policy on punishing people for NOT using their seeds, which VS talks about as well.
@derekderek I think so too, they are patented!!!
The problem with Organic food market in India or rather all over the world is that it is not encouraged enough by our governments. It's more expensive and there's quite a room for government subsidies and without it, it will continue to be so.
Is there a way to send a letter or get into any kind of contact with her?
thats amazing... i think its actually illegal to save seeds in the US... :(
@derekderek HOW DID THAT EVER HAPPEN?
@derekderek it's not illegal to save seeds that have no patent. so buy organic....specifically heirlooms, and save the seeds. give your leftover seeds to others for free if you do not use them.
i have critiqued the occidental culture about the truth of their nature and the cost of their homelands. Bringing anger to them clouding my definition to them. But beyond what they cannot realise is what happens when they do, realise, see, and understand, the truth in my perspective on the naturn of their culture. The steps to be taken in light of that wisdom, they would need to attone and make culture the currency consider it most important. not theirs but the ones they have threatened. etc
More organic farming - more organic jobs.
WAIT - They rolled back the Domestic BAN on 2,4D ?? (Agent Orange?) Monsanto can sell it here for their own "superweeds?"
Watch out for Monsanto or they will destroy your sacred organic native seeds !!
