Seed saving has been done continuously for over 10,000 years. Nothing new. Modern farmers with large farms found that it is easier with more reliable results to buy fresh seed that has all the traits they need for a good crop. Stone age methods result in stone age yields.

Always a pleasure to listen to Dr. Vandana Shiva! Many farmers in India are now going back to Vedic Farming, which is regenerative - much needed in today's food crisis caused by climate and wars. Saving seeds, letting nature work the magic (through helpful lifeforms) and supporting her with regenerative methods can provide us with abundant yields as just rewards.

[@cheetahvolcano]

I feel in the end, around 1:17:00 ~, she is saying that building a strong "real food, real farming" movement in Sweden is the perfect thing to do because 1. the conditions are right, as per what the previous question-asker had said, and 2.) there needs to be a stronghold on the earth of the CULTURE itself. Everything else can come from the culture, but some groups with the ability to do so need to embody it full-on. Since we are in an interconnected world, nurturing one node of connection will uplift the entire network. To the previous questioner's point ( 1:15:00 ~): BE this change, and naturally, through relationships, the connections to how the abundance of wealth and welfare can spread to where it's needed will flow. The culture must first exist before self-determination can even be possible. Give no inch to these bio-pirates. The totality of the work of Vandana Shiva has taught me that truly it is *within* that we must give no inch and thus have cosmic power to be different, to choose.

[@popeyegordon]

About the anti-biotech activist Vandana Shiva: Shiva has attracted intense criticism from the scientific community for perpetuating long-debunked myths about agriculture, biotechnology and food safety. "Shiva is scheduled to speak in late January at Stanford University and the University of California, Santa Cruz on “equitable and sustainable” farming methods. Her positions on a variety of issues have irked and at times outraged scientists who consider her a disseminator of misinformation who profits at the rate of $40,000 a lecture (or more) to spread propaganda critical of mainstream views of biotechnology. Raised in prosperity, this Indian Brahmin was formally trained as a philosopher, embracing and promoting a form of Quantum Theory that is now widely dismissed. She often falsely claims that she is a trained physicist, and those false ‘scientific’ credentials are often echoed by her supporters. The GLP has carried numerous articles about her history of misstatements and fabrications (here, here, here). She was the subject of a scathing critique, “Seeds of Doubt,” by Michael Specter of The New Yorker, which documented her history of misleading claims and what Specter maintained often verged on anti-science gibberish. For more than three decades, she has relentlessly campaigned against globalization, focusing on food and agriculture socio-economic issues and an opposition to GMOs, free trade and intellectual property rights. She alternately promotes land redistribution, indigenous and peasant farmers’ rights, organic-only food production and ayurvedic health practices over conventional medicines, all of which she characterizes as an “earth democracy” movement necessary to restore “harmony,” people and nature. Shiva receives financial backing from high-profile activist groups such as the Center for Food Safety, which shares offices with her in Washington. Among her most controversial talking points is her false claim that there was no hunger in India prior to the Green Revolution. The truth is almost 180 degrees the opposite, as the Green Revolution, marked in part by the introduction of synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides enable massive increases in food production. A recent review of the evidence shows, “the production of cereal crops tripled during this period, with only a 30% increase in land area cultivated.” Shiva also blames the Green Revolution for increasing poverty, indebtedness and despair among farmers. Her notorious allegation that the introduction of insect-resistant GMO crops in India led many farmers to commit suicide has been evaluated and dismissed as inaccurate. Shiva is also a fierce opponent of so-called Golden Rice, a crop engineered to combat vitamin A deficiency in developing countries. In response to the scheduling of her two talks at Stanford and UC Santa Cruz, 39 scientists from around the world co-authored an open letter to both universities protesting the invitations. The signatories told the GLP that their aim is to alert the events’ organizers, participants and attendees to the numerous falsehoods in Shiva’s philosophy. The letter, reproduced below in full, blasts Shiva for her “use of anti-scientific rhetoric to support unethical positions.” Neither university has scheduled a scientist to present the evidence-based case for crop biotechnology." geneticliteracyproject.org/2020/01/14/39-biotech-experts-open-letter-protests-anti-gmo-activist-vandana-shivas-anti-science-talks-at-stanford-and-uc-santa-cruz/

This woman is my hero ! Michael Pollan, Polyface Farms Virginia and Dr. Shiva has shown me that without GMO, one can still do productive, non-destructible farming. Scientists can say whatever, but there is a reason USA is bustling with farmer's markets, the freshness, the taste and the energy of organic food exists despite whatever nutrition analysis you do.

[@popeyegordon]

All farming of every type is invasive to nature. ---------------------------- AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH -------------------------------- Don’t buy organic food if you want to increase farm yields or seriously address climate change "As we approach the 2020s, many consumers have accepted the marketing/activist narrative that organic farming would be the best option for food safety and to mitigate the most damaging effects of climate change. The inconvenient truth is that organic farming is a terrible option from a climate change perspective. Its dependence on manures and compost involves huge, but rarely recognized, greenhouse gas emissions in the form of very potent methane and nitrous oxide. But perhaps its biggest climate change issue is that organic farms are mostly less productive per unit area than “conventionally” farmed land. With rising food demand driven mostly by rising standards of living in the developing world, there is a need to boost farm production, and that means the very undesirable conversion of forests or grasslands to agriculture in places like Brazil. That leads to major carbon dioxide release from what had been sequestered carbon in the soils, and also the loss of biodiversity and other environmental services provided by those natural lands. In 1990, the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) was charged by Congress with establishing a national organic standard to supersede the fragmented certification systems that had evolved to that time. It was a major struggle because the very science-oriented USDA was at odds with the early organic marketers who had focused entirely on the narrative that what is “natural” is always best. The marketers finally prevailed. When the national organic standards were issued in 2002, they were not based on science but rather on the naturalistic fallacy. So here is the big picture. The only crop category for which organic yields were higher than the 2016 US average was for forage crops for feeding animals. To have produced all of the US agricultural output from 2016 as organic would have required more than 100 million more acres to have been farmed-an area greater than that of the entire state of California, the third largest US state. That amount of new land suitable for farming clearly does not exist in the US, and so that shortfall would induce more conversion of forest and grassland into farming in places like Brazil, leading to major releases of previously sequestered carbon in those soils" This informative article goes on to use eleven charts and graphs from government data to prove in great detail just how inferior organic farming is. geneticliteracyproject.org/2019/10/07/viewpoint-dont-buy-organic-food-if-you-want-to-seriously-address-climate-change/

@@popeyegordon Organic or inorganic. One can feel the difference in produce as soon as you consume it. Additionally, like I said productivity can be done like Polyface farms without GMO. Even if you disagree with Vandana Shiva’s narrative, patenting life hurts farming communities all over the world, and many variant species die. Let there be both, and let there be no patents on traditional crops, it’s food not products. The solution cannot be extreme industrialized farming. But thanks for your input .

[@flatearth5821]

Dear Dr. Vandana Shiva, Your work is so admirable. Here is true story about native tree planting and its effect after 15 years. Here in the UK. there are two of natures pioneer species, Scots pine and birch - a must for native woodland establishment as they provide the all important shelter from high winds due to previous deforestation. The general plan is to set these fast growing hardy species, and after 10 years or so, to plant the less hardy species in their shelter. However what has been observed during the 15 years is the appearance of fungi, which was absent prior to the planting. About 3 years ago, clusters of fungi (the fruiting bodies) began appearing at one end of the area being planted with trees. Now the fungi have spread to half way up the area being planted which is about 4 acres. This is indicating that the underground mycelium has not only started but is now spreading rapidly. The mycelia has the ability to break down minerals in the soil, which means that all other plants in the area are now able to absorb those minerals more easily. In other words since the onset of the mycelia, the surrounding earth does not need artificial fertilisers to enable plants to thrive. Is this not the ultimate in providing 100% natural organic fertiliser? without even having to add any other type of organic fertiliser - also a minimal cost option. Then if we look at e.g. dry rot, a fungus that breaks down wood as it passes through. The process of fungi in the soil acts in a similar way, but instead of wood being broken down, it breaks down the minerals in the soil, albeit not digesting the soil completely as with dry rot, but nevertheless it is a similar process. So by planting native tree species along hedgerows and in copses in farmland areas, not only do the trees provide habitats for fauna and flora, they also provide the all important shelter from winds and many vegetables which become partially sheltered from sunlight in the partial shade of the trees, enabling the vegetables to ripen less quickly, giving the grower a wider time span for harvesting gradually rather than all the vegetables ripening all at once meaning that if they are not sold or eaten quickly once ripened, then they soon perish. So this old idea of slash and burn everything to make way for vegetable production and to then pour artificial fertiliser over everything is all wrong. If you work with nature, it will give you such abundance. Best wishes, and keep up the good work.

La enemiga mortal de Bill Gates. Ella no le deja en paz al billónario. 🙏🏼

[@PardeepJindal-b7v]

Talk to these 2..3 percent people of the world ask questions frm them mein toh gatiya ho..

[@astronics]

Don't give this lady more attention, she's against GMOs and if she had her way most indians would be dead because of starvation. The only good point she has is promoting biodiversity and sourcing local products that too is dodgy. She had literally said she is against the green revolution which saved india from starvation

[@astronics]

Also she's not really a physicist, check your facts speaker

[@radhikaschwartz3499]

I used to respect bandanna shiva but her constant trashing of Bill Gates has me so turned off into longer listen to her. Got so tired of it.

[@cenknight]

Your tiredness might be related to the food which you ingest that's totally enabled by the largest investor, Bill Gates, in Blue River & John Deere's *See & Spray Ultimate* machinery ...that sprays from boom mounted sprayers kept apart..yes, even the herbicides can cause volatilization....thus needed to be separate from each conpound.. guided by camera to cloud as they proudly claim, ..to provide you the best contaminated gmo foods..yes it has to be grand and dramatic for Gates to invest in undoubtedly .. they claim very blatantly, ...*Glyphosate performs best with a fine to medium droplet size, while dicamba must be applied using a nozzle that produces an extremely coarse or ultra-coarse droplet*.. And this is their motto.. "spray 'em where they are" strategy... Why do you not understand the underlying bone of contention she has and all of we concerned world citizens out to...for here is their and (investors) bottom line..and sorry, it's not your tiredness....but their #1 purpose *** Bottom Line= investors dividends

---------------------------- AN INCONVENIENT TRUTH -------------------------------- Don’t buy organic food if you want to increase farm yields or seriously address climate change "As we approach the 2020s, many consumers have accepted the marketing/activist narrative that organic farming would be the best option for food safety and to mitigate the most damaging effects of climate change. The inconvenient truth is that organic farming is a terrible option from a climate change perspective. Its dependence on manures and compost involves huge, but rarely recognized, greenhouse gas emissions in the form of very potent methane and nitrous oxide. But perhaps its biggest climate change issue is that organic farms are mostly less productive per unit area than “conventionally” farmed land. With rising food demand driven mostly by rising standards of living in the developing world, there is a need to boost farm production, and that means the very undesirable conversion of forests or grasslands to agriculture in places like Brazil. That leads to major carbon dioxide release from what had been sequestered carbon in the soils, and also the loss of biodiversity and other environmental services provided by those natural lands. In 1990, the USDA (US Department of Agriculture) was charged by Congress with establishing a national organic standard to supersede the fragmented certification systems that had evolved to that time. It was a major struggle because the very science-oriented USDA was at odds with the early organic marketers who had focused entirely on the narrative that what is “natural” is always best. The marketers finally prevailed. When the national organic standards were issued in 2002, they were not based on science but rather on the naturalistic fallacy. So here is the big picture. The only crop category for which organic yields were higher than the 2016 US average was for forage crops for feeding animals. To have produced all of the US agricultural output from 2016 as organic would have required more than 100 million more acres to have been farmed-an area greater than that of the entire state of California, the third largest US state. That amount of new land suitable for farming clearly does not exist in the US, and so that shortfall would induce more conversion of forest and grassland into farming in places like Brazil, leading to major releases of previously sequestered carbon in those soils" This informative article goes on to use eleven charts and graphs from government data to prove in great detail just how inferior organic farming is. geneticliteracyproject.org/2019/10/07/viewpoint-dont-buy-organic-food-if-you-want-to-seriously-address-climate-change/

I think you should listen to Vandana Shiva and give some thoughts to the fact that she just may be right. In the northern western world the yields might increase with chemical agriculture. But - for how long? Have you studied the measurements of decreasing pollinators? Of chemicals and poisons in the rivers, lakes and seas? No fun reading at all. In the south furthermore, yields are reported to mostly be increased with organic farming, needing less water, less land area, less expensive materials - which is why the sellers of these materials give out reports like the above cited. Whom to trust when one part in the debate wants to earn big money from this and the other part does not? ;-)

[@EKGE-vx6ku]

"Technology is more than a tool now. It is an instrument of power and control, the means to contruct a false narrative of our relationship with the natural world and society, eclipsing nature's creativity and productivity, and the contribution of those who are colonised - women, slaves, workers, and industrial tools, technological fundamentalism inverts the means-end relationship. Instead of being a means to reaching higher ecological, ethical, social and human ends, the deployment and use of industrial technologies become an end in themselves, a new religion. Industrial agriculture and genetic engineering were elevated from a means to be assessed and chosen, to a religion to be imposed as civilising missions on 'barbarians' practicing ecological agriculture. Instead of being evaluated against other tools on ecological and social criteria, those calling for scientific assessments of technology are declared as 'anti-science'. Such a discourse comes from religious fundamentalism, not from rational scientific debate." From Oneness vs the 1%, Vandana Shiva

@@EKGE-vx6ku I study the facts from peer reviewed science sources ONLY. You are suckered by anti-biotech activists and the organic industry of which Shiva is a paid partner. If you are under 40 years old you have never seen a world free of the largest longest marketing propaganda campaign in all history. Organic industry tyranny for 33 years and counting: "Although GMOs are regarded as safe as their conventional counterparts by every major food safety authority in the world, the organic industry spends nearly $3 billion a year through over 330 different organizations leading with fear and “information spin” as an industry to sell their products. They also sent a $160,000 cash bribe to the IARC to buy that claim of a low cancer risk from glyphosate, it paved the way for abuse of our legal system in false cancer lawsuits. By creating an unfounded fear that requires tighter regulations on GMO crops, they are hoping to force them out of the food supply, thereby creating a bigger market share to sell more products in their more than $65 billion wheelhouse. The unfortunate consequence of these [non-GMO] labels is that the food companies and lobbyists tend to create an unnecessary “us vs. them” divide. When food companies use fear against competitors to sell a product, farmers take it personally." www.agdaily.com/insights/farm-babe-label-trends-end/ Now why do you suppose organic food is so expensive?? Imagine what 3 billion dollars could do for humanitarian goals - end a different disease forever every year.... End all hunger in at least one country...... Funding nasty propaganda?

Omg, this popeye pops up and poops on all Vandana Shiva’s videos.

[@popeyegordon]

@@smitas65 Thank you. I do what I can with my fact checking. I am also the primary contributor to Facebook's page called "Shit Vandana Shiva Says". I am ready to devastate every lie she has ever spun. Educated farmers hate Shiva. All legitimate qualified scientists hate Shiva. The international scientific community calls her an extreme fraud. Verified published peer reviewed science research has proven every one of her lies wrong. I will never stop.
