“We have a duty to save seeds!” ~ Dr. Vandana Shiva
Dr. Vandana Shiva is a powerhouse and gigantic advocate of food independence and local food production and farming.
This week on the Solari Report, we continue to emphasize food sovereignty and the need to prepare for real struggles in food supplies ahead. Sovereignty in food and nutrition begins with seeds, and Vandana Shiva’s work goes to the very root of liberty—the sustenance of life on earth.
“The small farmer is the last free person on this planet.”
The Seeds of Vandana Shiva is both a portrait of decades of Shiva’s work as an untiring catalyst and activist as well as inspiration for change and solutions that have saved and will save countless lives, not only among Indian farmers but ultimately globally by overcoming a multinational seed dictatorship.
“Vandana Shiva is the reason why there are no GMO foods in India.”
This is a beautifully rendered and narrated film furnishing many heretofore unknown details about her life, thinking, and historical and contemporary experiences. Despite occasional unreflective promotion of “climate change,” the film offers the viewer a profound education through the words and authenticity of an intellectual and humanitarian female warrior.
Highly recommended!

Unfortunately the individual pre-screening ended. If we want to see the film it will be through community screening. I have written to them. It is 200 dollars per session. 92 for school.
I’m not really trying to smear Shiva. She recently did an interview with Russell Brand about How we Beat The Great Reset.

The leaders wanted a high ESG score.

Still does not make sense. Anyone contemplating a transition knows it can not be done quickly. Requires very gradual if can be done at all. So something does not add up.
Because I believe Vandana Shiva has unshakable integrity, I think it would be good to hear from her.
Would you consider interviewing her and allowing subscribers to submit questions?

It is in the parking lot, but not likely this year. The follow up on BIS and sovereignty immunity is first and foremost. Because seeds are so important, hoping to get to it in 2023.
I think she caused Sri Lanka a lot of trouble.

Did not realize Shiva was involved in Sri Lanka, so appreciate the heads up. I have tried to understand what happened and have not been able to figure it out. You would never transition that quickly, even if you wanted to transition. Makes no sense.
