The New Food Wars: Globalization GMOs and Biofuels

Across the world, food riots are taking place. Scientist and activist Vandana Shiva explores whether the future will be one of food wars or food peace. She argues that the creation of food peace demands a major shift in the way food is produced and distributed, and the way in which we manage and use the soil, water and biodiversity, which makes food production possible. 17th Annual Margolis lecture at UC Irvine.

If only the world was run by people with the intelligence, integrity and vision of Vandana Shiva - what a better place it would be.

Vandana Shiva is describing one of the greatest crimes of the last 100 years.

The American people are so intellectually enslaved, it's stunning. We don;'t even know where to start. Our media is at fault. It is their job to report on all this.

she is a mountain of knoledge. she read my mind when she said that the so called woman's eliberation is just an illusion because women were free before the feminist movement. after 1950's started the real prison for women. motherhood, cooking and cleaning is such an easy job comparing to being the slave of a company and be forced to deal with all kind of people.

She is so right. Why are our governments giving our money in form of subsidies to corporations that are destroying the health of this planet and everything that lives on it.

I live in BC, Canada, we just had the government pump up another 15 carbon tax on fuel. At the same time the oil companies in Canada get about 2.8 billion dollars in tax breaks. This is criminal and hypocrisy is the new norm.

@Hygiology I wrote to Oprah requesting that she have Dr. Shiva on her show. They never responded. I encourage you to write to Oprah as well. Maybe with more people requesting it, she will do it.

@societas1 I couldn't agree more. I think that ignorance is so prevalent that when people are faced with the truth, they cannot process it. They have been brought up to think on such a low level that it shocks their system when faced with a brilliant intelligence like Dr. Shiva's.

[Hygiology]

Has Dr. Shiva been on oprah...?? Maybe that could have been good...she could reach the masses more

Dr.Vandana Shiva, to me and many people in the world whom have access to the internet are finaly getting an idea of whats realy going on in the world and what suckers our own government in America have made of us all, for allowing these seed companies to create and become a monapoly with Monsanto as the head of this fraudulent corporation.
