Vandana Shiva: The Future of Food
Vandana Shiva shares a lucid discussion on Monsanto’s inexplicable view of nature as the enemy of mankind, and their determination to sell us ‘liberation’ from it. Aside from being an impossible battle, it’s also a wholly misguided one, based on a self-interested, short-term-thinking profit mentality, rather than the much needed acceptance of, and cooperation with, biological realities we need to see instead.

“We need a whole new agriculture,” Wilson says, one that replaces conventional crops like wheat. See: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/nature/conversation-eo-wilson.html

In Vedic culture, annadana or the Gift of Seed, seeds and grains/cereals are given freely, not sold.
Having said that Seed Savers favours community/household-based seed enterprises as a resistance and response to large scale Monsanto style seed monopolies.
I can’t see these video clips (Parts I to III) on my screen. All that displays is a message “Whoops! Missing embed param: file”. Is this because I need special software to read them, or have they been deleted?
Hi JW – they work fine for me.
Hi, I also can’t see the clips.

Hmm.. I switched to Internet Explorer and note the same issue. After a quick google, I see this error showing up a lot in the search results.
At this point I can only suggest viewing with Firefox, as it works fine with that browser.
No problems viewing on either Firefox or Google Chrome.
For those that not have Firefox you can see it from my new blog, as I’ve set up these series using You Tube: https://permaliv.blogspot.com/2011/03/vandana-shiva-matens-framtid.html
