As members of Vasudhaiva Kutumbukam the Earth family our rights flow from being part of nature. These include our natural rights to life, to food water, to air and space which we inhabit with other beings. It also includes responsibilities a duty to care & share.Dr. Vandana Shiva
These all exist in the Commons, where people have lived well and together in harmony. The struggle for the future is thus interconnected with the struggle for the Commons. Dr. Vandana Shiva
Owning life by claiming it to be a corporate invention is both ethically legally wrong. Living organisms are self-organising, self-evolving, sovereign beings. Artificially adding a toxic gene into a living element should be considered a pollution,not a creation. Dr. Vandana Shiva

The only way to farm sustainably is to farm according to nature’s ‘law of return’ – returning organic matter to the soil to feed the soil biology and build up soil nitrogen and other nutrients. Dr. Vandana Shiva
When those that need to be regulated write the laws to get absolute power ownership over seed (which is life itself) while absolving themselves of ecological n social responsibility, it is not just a crisis for food and agriculture, it is a crisis for democracy. Dr. Vandana Shiva
Living Soil is a complex food web, teeming with life. One cubic meter can hold 5,000 earthworms, 50,000 & 12 million roundworms. This life in the soil is what rejuvenates soil fertility, and makes nutrients available to plants to support our agriculture. Dr. Vandana Shiva
More than 75% of the water resources have been destroyed and polluted due to chemical farming.
Chemicals have decertified our soils by failing to return organic matter that creates living soils. Dr. Vandana Shiva #biodiversity based farming helps rejuvenate #livingsoil
Happy #WorldEnvironmentDay2023 to all the farmers who nurture & protect the seeds that sustain us. Your hard work & dedication to the land help ensure a healthy &bountiful harvest for generations to come & to protect our planet and its precious resources.' Dr. Vandana Shiva
Millets are highly nutritious, rich in fibre and gluten-free, making them easy for the body to absorb. #foodofthefuture #yearofmillets

Water rejuvenate through organic farming that enriches the soil - 0.5% of organic matter in the soil conserves 80,000 litres per hectare. We do not just need more “crop per drop” we need more “drop per crop”. Dr. Vandana Shiva
Keeping biodiversity and commons at the centre, our goal is to defend the gifts from nature& our ancestors, community seed banks and improving the well being of small and marginalized rural producers through non violent biodiverse organic farming and fair trade. Dr. Vandana Shiva
