Seeding the Future with Vandana Shiva - Full Version

Dr. Vandana Shiva is a physicist and social activist, widely regarded as the torchbearer of the international sustainable food movement. Dr. Shiva combines sharp intellectual enquiry with courageous activism: her work spans teaching at universities around the world, to working with peasants in rural India.

In particular Dr. Shiva campaigns for food security, food sovereignty, and a genuinely democratic and sustainable food system. Many communities worldwide have taken inspiration from her vision and from the work of her organization Navdanya.

In a rare Vancouver appearance, Dr. Shiva informed and inspired the next generation of environmental leaders in the fight to protect nature and people’s rights to knowledge, biodiversity, water and food. She reminds us that it all starts with a seed.

This event was presented by Nature's Path in association with UBC (Supporting Partner) and the Hari Sharma Foundation (Community Partner).
