Dr Vandana Shiva - International Permaculture Day 2012
Published on May 6, 2012 by IntPermacultureDay
Jude Fanton of the Seed Savers Network interviews Dr. Vandana Shiva, environmental activist, seed freedom campaigner and founder of NAVDANYA and RFSTE.
Vandana says about her work: "Over the past three decades I have tried to be the change I want to see. When I found that dominant science and technology served the interests of powerful, I left academics to found the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, a participatory, public interest research organisation. When I found global corporations wanted to patent seeds, crops or life forms, I started Navdanya to protect biodiversity, defend farmers' rights and promote organic farming."
