The more i listen to this incredible woman, the more i love her! She is fascinating & indeed as you said below, the Mahatma Gandhi of today!

[@fasleeves1296]

Shiva is full of wisdom! I can listen to her all day!

[@sauticml]

The whole world has a future because of such people.

This is a video clip on Indigenous Knowledge every Indian, every nationalist should spare some time and listen to this address, Salutation to Vandana Shiva

[@mariakayrants2282]

Hands down I love this woman! She spoke up for farmers rights in her book Soil not Oil and again here on this platform. Love it!

[@spencerleava2502]

Not really, she is spreading ignorance at the expense of the worlds poorest and most disadvantaged. GMOs have proven to be one of the best ways to improve the livelihoods of poor farmers in the third world. Then again, I doubt this woman has ever understood what it's like to be a poor farmer, or go hungry.

I wish my mom had been and still be, like her !! She's one of the best person I've known !! I pray to MAA DURGA to make you chiranjeevi !!

Monsanto should be banned in India after jailing bosses for being accessory to suicides etc.. All shareholders & employees who benefit from the profits of Monsanto must be listed for all to see.

[@Eswari-xb1yg]

yes

[@SatishSharma-po7zj]

I wonder if there are much of new generation getting into agriculture. As for bio-piracy, local knowledge needs to be guarded, which might be too late, but what ever is still there needs to be controlled. Try extracting local agriculture knowledge from China, they guard it firmly and are very patriotic. Indian companies get sold easily, money comes before national pride, hence that state of affairs there now, sad!! Vandhana is Gandhi of present day, admire her dedication and hard work for the cause.

[@marong3717]

lot of traitors in india but in china traditional farming is no more , in india due to many peopl elike vandana shiva , subash palekar traditional natural farming is surviving in india

[@kumarg4249]

marong Why what's going on in China?? I think they're wise enough to know what's best for them !!!

[@mulkasirivijaykumar3266]

Superb medam.. Thanquu

[@tuncalikutukcuoglu8800]

Monsanto is the best example for a parasite business. A parasite in disguise, provided that the society is sufficiently ignorant about ecological issues to believe in corporate myths like economic growth, Green Revolution, technological progress in agriculture etc.

[@udennyn]

very well said..I wonder why such people are not recoganized.

[@sonuEEE]

When I go to burn thier factory wil you join me....

[@hugecricketfan]

It is indeed sad that the American company - Monsanto is patenting indigenous seeds. It parallels the stealing by the same country of Yoga and Aurobindo's writing without any credit to the origin. Shame!

[@kumarg4249]

hugecricketfan Western elite, upper class are pure evil. Monsters !!

[@ManosOceano]

For whom does the USA President work?

[@kumarg4249]

ManosOceano Private companies !!

Anything used after modification for mass propagation must carry an inferior to the original label, as the original with the desired naturally acquired traits was the ones that they were targeting to exploit. Organic is the original, around the globe enjoyed by our grandparents and the generations before them. Chemical toxicity was introduced with a business-minded propaganda after their times, hence inferior. Anything in the food sector with an artificial insert must carry a penalty, a fee. "Inferior" (poor) areas pay greater gasoline prices, right? Yeah, bringing that logic to this topic.
