Intervention de Vandana Shiva 2/2

is redundant nuvola pahala Vandana Vandana sitov yes yes navdanya kusenov daniela and even more oh yes navdanya which means nine seeds but it also means the new gift and for us it is the new gift of the Commons of the common good of sharing and caring for what we do Now in India and around the world is basically following the seed, following the teachings of the seed and everything that I have learned, you know, I didn't study biology and I definitely didn't study agriculture. I studied physics when I was studying, but everything we do. What we have learned at navdanya is from the seed, that is why we are always told that we must have chemicals in industrial agriculture to grow more food to feed the world.

We said how a monoculture can feed the world. How can the new trician lis feed the world with empty food? We started looking at how biodiversity feeds the world and we started measuring nutrition per acre and everyone can find this report on the navdanya website, what is navdanya nav da and why at a.org we call it health per acre that we can feed . twice the population of India, if we followed the biodiversity path instead of the chemical one, we could feed twice the world's population with good food, which is why the transition is so important, but we discovered even more significantly that 50% of Greenhouse gases come from industrial agriculture, but in organic agriculture we have a solution to climate change, that is why at COP21 we planted a garden and I remember a meeting here with the movements to make the Paris region an organic zone.

I was at the mayor's conference yesterday and why? Suppose just because a city is big it can't be fed by its neighborhood, its neighborhood is big, that's all you know, so it could have a hundred mile radius or a 500 mile radius, but that's still not 20,000 miles of bad transportation. and bad food and changing the nature of the seed so that it sits on the shelves and doesn't rot, yes we have lovely bananas. Del Monte came to India and said: change your bananas because they don't ship well, no, we like to eat bananas, not ship them. We are the largest producers of bananas and the largest consumers of bananas, but we are absent in the trading system that is for the banana republics.

We found that our farmers weren't looking for ways to earn more, we wanted them to be caretakers of the seed savers of the earth and that's why we helped them go organic so they reduce chemical costs. Our farmers, our members earn ten times more than the farmers who pursue the chemical routine and the industrial system that is totally driving down food prices. Farmers do not earn anything in the global market, they earn 1% of what the consumer pays, so bringing food closer to consumption means many more returns for the farmer and farmers will be able to return to the land because driving to The farmers of the land is part of a system that simply should not exist and we want to confront it in the next 10 years, so in India in 1999 I created a movement to live in democracy, people who make their own decisions and recognize their rights. part of the earth we are part of the earth family we will protect every tree every animal every insect we will not allow chemicals to come here we will not allow GMOs to come here we will not allow bosses to come here this living democracy movement has grown and now through it we have developed a poison free agriculture and food movement that says if we have 10 years for a transition then each place should start locally and expand to the regions and I hope you all come back and see starting today .

I will not be part of the toxic food system that is destroying the planet and my health. Starting today, I will not only start eating organic foods but I will be part of the cultivation of food communities. What the sea teaches us is to take care of that when it takes care of the seed. gives you abundance and all the industrial chemical agriculture that has destroyed the planet farmers our health and the future of our children is an agriculture that is based on promoting carelessness is turning us into careless beings and that is why the The women's panel is very important because we were considered backward because instead of control, profit and dominance we care and the care economy was treated as a non-economy, but the care and sharing economy, which is the economy of the Commons, is the economy of the future we can only have a future if we all join in that and this is what navdanya does practically we learn from the farmers we learn from the seeds we learn from the soil we learn from the butterflies and now my colleague naira tell you about the very concrete things that we do Of course, yes, how are things going with Hawaii?

Okay, the Rondinella is enough Dania as she has no poche side if we know how we can't escape the decadent good night everyone thank you for welcoming us here thank you for the soul and for the Center for hosting us now Vanya is a movement led by women and dr . Shiva is here as a testimony to that and we are a women centric movement, from the northern tip of the Himalayas, from Ladakh to the east, to IRISA and West Bengal, at the heart of our movement, our women and their seed producers, They are farmers. They are academic researchers and we cover all genres of life and for 30 years we have been working to protect and recover our seed and our knowledge.

I want to tell you a story about a group of women in Rockland and they have been part of Nathaniel's soul, who have driven an entire chemical industry from there on their own and they just got inspired and introduced Nirvana and once they started transitioning into this movement organically on their own, they transformed their community. I have seen that in Nevada we have I have seen how in a small state, I mean, in a state where, for example, women who have opposed the patriarchy are heard, they have stood up and said no, that is wrong. The farmer was saying we should have chemicals in his field because he says my son is suffering, so they are the ones who feed their children and then nourish the soil, they are the ones who are transitioning us to a better world. , like all of us here, all of you here who inspire us like this, we have communities there that are changing our daily lives to one free of poisons.

The women of Netanya have saved 7,000 varieties of seeds and are raising resistant varieties of rice, they are cereals, they are millet and they give their voice to this movement because they are the ones who are saving the people of their communities. We have had the super cyclone disaster. in ERISA and the women were the ones who distributed the seeds to the community and were able to have thousands of farmers and with this example the people of India can realize how important we call them and the daughters are food producers. They are God and Nathanael represents them and our farmers and as Clotilde said that we have a course where we have farmers, we have people of all ages and from all over the world who meet and come from a to z course and where we simply do not have experts, but we also have students learning from the communities and we invite you to join us at one of the NIA biodiversity conservation farms, where over the twenty years of our existence we have changed and transformed that.

The land is a living example of how a eucalyptus farm that was barren and completely desertified is now a living farm where people come to change their lives and the water table has risen to seventy feet, it has risen seventy feet just because we have transformed in organic agriculture. and that farm also has 10 times more pollinators today than the forest around us so I invite you and thank you for hosting us here.
