Dr Vandana Shiva - bioactivist

rani · 2019-03-16T00:38:54Z

Dr. Vandana Shiva is a physicist, ecologist, activist, editor, and author of many books. In India she has established Navdanya, a movement for biodiversity conservation and farmers' rights. Vandana is one of the leading lights in the fight against the corporations that are intent on patenting life in all its forms, and owning the entire food chain, worldwide, from seed to mouth. A lucid and joyful speaker, she has organised many direct action protests against monsanto et al. I came across Dr Shiva when I went looking for a podcast on bees. I want to keep a beehive in the near future and I needed a break from all the conspiracy talk. And of course, I ran smack dab into more conspiracy. No longer content on 'owning' all the seeds, Monsanto now want to 'own' our key pollinators. I have been reading her excellent book Earth Democracy, where she explains the history of the enclosure of the commons in the 1500's and it's new face in the modern world in the enclosing of the intellectual property rights of the people.https://biobees.libsyn.com/dr-vandana-shiva-and-the-fight-against-gm-piracy
