Vandana Shiva talks about the World Future Council

Dr. Vandana Shiva trained as a Physicist. In 1982, she founded an independent institute, the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in Dehra Dun dedicated to high quality and independent research to address the most significant ecological and social issues of our times. In 1991, she founded Navdanya, a national movement to protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seeds. Dr. Shiva has contributed in fundamental ways to changing the practice and paradigms of agriculture and food. Her books, 'The Violence of Green Revolution' and 'Monocultures of the Mind' have become basic challenges to the dominant paradigm of non-sustainable, reductionist Green Revolution Agriculture. Dr. Shiva is a sought-after speaker at conferences all over the world. She received the Right Livelihood Award in 1993.
