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


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 âcrop per dropâ we need more âdrop per cropâ. Dr. Vandana Shiva



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


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


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


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

The only way to farm sustainably is to farm according to natureâs âlaw of returnâ â returning organic matter to the soil to feed the soil biology and build up soil nitrogen and other nutrients. 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


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


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
