Vandana Shiva | Gross National Happiness & Finding Your Purpose | Lecture

This talk was part of a series of lectures by Dr. Vandana Shiva at the Youth Initiative Program (yip.se/) in Järna, Sweden. It was filmed and edited by Mattias Olsson of Campfire Stories (www.campfire-stories.org/). To support the work of Campfire Stories, please join our Patreon community: / mattiasolsson
In this lecture, Dr. Shiva talks about the difference between Gross National Product (GNP) and Gross National Happiness (GNH). She also speaks about the fact that food and climate aren't separate issues, and about how if we'd convert ten percent of the world's industry farms into biodynamic, organic or permaculture over the next 10 years, we'd not only meet the 1,5 degree target, but go beyond. She finishes by speaking about how the digital landscape enslaves us, and she encourages the YIP participants to always remember their creativity and to live their lives as part of an Earth community.
Campfire Stories founder Mattias Olsson also sat down for an interview with Dr. Vandana Shiva for the Campfire Podcast during her visit to YIP. That episode is available here: www.campfire-stories.org/vand...
Recorded in February of 2024.

Priorities are essential for our success as citizens of the world. Recognizing that the continuous impact of wars ,aggressive behaviors and the harmful effects of mining, corporate farming and environmental development are not beneficial for our society to thrive and flourish and not healthy for the environment and the harmony of our lives in alignment with love and care that provides us with a variety of options that support a healthy relationship with balance and peacefulness. Recycling, composting, open pollinating plants and using non polluting energy systems. The N Machine is a great resource for electronic energy. Using a simple gyroscope that is surrounded by a circular magnet that is constantly generating power .Quiet ,clean, non polluting and free❤
