Dr. Vandana Shiva http://VandanaShiva.com/ trained as a Physicist at the University of Punjab http://www.pu.edu.pk/ , and completed her Ph.D. on the ‘Hidden Variables and Non-locality in Quantum Theory’ from the University of Western Ontario, Canada http://www.uwo.ca/. She later shifted to inter-disciplinary research in science, technology and environmental policy, which she carried out at the Indian Institute of Science and the Indian Institute of Management in Bangalore, India http://www.iisc.ac.in/

In 1982, she founded an independent institute – the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in Dehra Dun http://www.eldis.org/organisation/A6564 – dedicated to high quality and independent research to address the most significant ecological and social issues of our times, working in close partnership with local communities and social movements. In 1991 she founded Navdanya http://www.Navdanya.org/site/, a national movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources – especially native seed – and to promote organic farming and fair trade. For last two decades, Navdanya has worked with local communities and organisations, serving more than 500,000 men and women farmers. Navdanya’s efforts have resulted in the conservation of more than 3000 rice varieties from across India, and the organisation has established 60 seed banks in 16 states across the country. In 2004, Dr. Shiva started Bija Vidyapeeth http://www.Navdanya.org/earth-university, an international college for sustainable living in Doon Valley in collaboration with Schumacher College, U.K. https://www.SchumacherCollege.org.uk/
