How to Repair a Broken System | DLD Nature

with Vandana Shiva (Navdanya)
Vandana Shiva, an environmental activist and physicist, discusses the importance
of biodiversity and the need to shift away from a mechanistic, reductionist view of
nature. She shares her experiences with the Chipko movement in the Himalayas,
where women protested against deforestation by hugging trees, recognizing the
ecological functions of forests beyond just timber.
Today’s economy, Shiva argues, is rooted in a mechanistic worldview that has led
to the deterioration of soil, water, and biodiversity. She also highlights that 30%
of the food we eat comes from insects that serve as pollinators.
Watch the video to find out why Shiva - a recipient of the Right Livelihood Award
(a.k.a. “Alternative Nobel Prize”) - calls for a shift in thinking, moving away from a
masculinist, mechanistic approach and recognizing the intelligence and
technologies of nature, women, and peasants.
