Is there a way to send a letter or get into any kind of contact with her?

[EcoWALKthetalk]

Yes, you should be able to reach her on these contact emails mentioned in the 'Contact Us' section of Navdanya's website. Unfortunately youtube doesn't let me post any urls on the comments section. If you have any difficulty finding the link, do let me know.

Thank you for your encouragement. She's amazing, isn't she!!

[Diego Villarreal]

thats amazing... i think its actually illegal to save seeds in the US... :(

[EcoWALKthetalk]

Thank you friends for leaving your kind comments.

@derekderek it's a violation of a fundamental right - farmers have been saving seeds for thousands of years - it's only in the last 2 decades that this very right to life, to biological knowledge has been privatised for profit.
