Vandana Shiva: The Future of Food-Part 3

For more Stories, Food News, and Cooking Fresh videos, visit: http://cookingupastory.com
Dr. Vandana Shiva founded the Research for Science, Technology, and Ecology, (RFSTE) organization, inspired by her earlier involvement with the Chipko movement. In 1973, in a mountainous region in the Himalayas, women villagers, in heroic and desperate fashion, clung to the body of trees to protest against their forest being decimated by contractors for the States Forest Department. The entire ecology of the region, and thus the local economy of these villagers, depended upon preserving the integrity of their forest. The eventual success of this self-organized environmental movement to protect their own natural resources from exploitation, became a (non-violent) model for future environmental activism throughout the world.

Wow - this entire interview is spot on, but this third segment is best of all. Comparing the collapse of 'fictional finance' to the collapse of 'fictional food' is perfect. And I also really like the idea of finding hope in the great leap toward chaos getting people's attention much better than a gradual reduction in real food.

Thank you for this series!

Thanks, WhiteTiger333, for your response. I couldn't agree with you more. I do hope more people will hear Dr. Shiva - her message and stories ring true, imo. Please share with others, if you can.

The best interview I have ever seen in my entire life

[whatslifespurpose]

The best 18 mins of my life!!

First I tried to watch FoodInc, but no luck. It has been disabled. Now I try to watch The end of Food with the same results! Censorship should be banned!! The bastards that don't want us watching are behind this and I think the 99%, the True people who matter most need to stand up and FIGHT!!

the suffering of both human and animal that takes place to further our consumerism is disgusting I can accept death as a real big part of life it's self and I will eat meat occasionally at times the nature of our dietary needs isn't the problem or the debate here its the conditions and misery that we make these animals live in and the horrific ends we will go to to maximize production all in the name of greed makes me embarrassed to call my self a human f!@# being .

The text in English which was clearly done with a voice recognition gadget is awful and misleading. It doesn't at all correspond to what wonderful Vandana Shiva is saying and it's a horror. PLEASE get rid of the texts and you would do every body a favor!!!

Our spiritual master talked about this back in the 1960s what this lady is talking about many countries were importing sugarcane etc but didn't even have enough food to eat themselves. This mataji is very intelligent and she should be president!

[keshsor]

ALL IS TRUE The illuminatis plans and rest of their allies wants GM groven food so when time comes, no farmer have seeds own theirs own so they have to buy from UN? The Illuminatis and those who wants to control population, would like food shorages all over the world. Just like we know aids, H1N1 flue and rest of the diseases cannot get rid of population fast enough so food is the main factor human being need everyday and having no jobs, homes, money, problems solved, people will die withoutfood

[heathey2]

What a very intelligent lady.

[themadmarchhare24]

could listen to her talk for hours on end...

[chiyerano]

Vandana Shiva, very vocal and informative. I've seen her speak on the issue of water as well as food.
