Dr Shiva Vandana is a philosopher, environmental activist, eco feminist and author of several books. Dr Shiva, currently based in Delhi, is author of over 300 papers in leading scientific and technical journals and participated in the non-violent Chipko movement during the 1970s. The movement, some of whose main participants were women, adopted the approach of forming human circles around trees to prevent their felling. She is one of the leaders of the International Forum on Globalization and a figure of the global solidarity movement known as the alter-globalization movement.
Dr Shiva has fought for changes in the practice and paradigms of agriculture and food. Intellectual property rights, biodiversity, biotechnology, bioethics, genetic engineering are among the fields where Dr Shiva has contributed intellectually and through activist campaigns. She has assisted grassroots organizations of the Green movement in Africa, Asia, Latin America, Ireland, Switzerland, and Austria including campaigns against genetic engineering. In 1982, she founded the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, which led to the creation of Navdanya. Her book, "Staying Alive" helped redefine perceptions of third world women.
“Nature isn’t out there. We’re a part of it”
A statement so obvious yet so profound.
This is what women empowerment we need not the tik-tokers . We Indians are so proud of what she is irrespective of her educational background.
What do you mean "irrespective of her educational background"? The next thing that needs to be exposed is the utter fallacy that the 'right' education somehow equates to superior intelligence.
Because people today my generation and the generation behind me all they know how to do is things that draws them away from being knowledgable about the economy and from using there brain
Shiva is an iconic figure in ecofeminist philosophy.
a fine Lady with all my respect . She speak the truth and we must listen to her ! .
Thank you Vandana. You are the voice we need in these rather scary times. Bless you. Bless you.
Very True
She is a shining light, reminds me in a way of a modern Ghandi. She is a pure incarnation of divine feminine wisdom and faithful servant to Mother Earth and all Her children. Gratitude!!

Bwwwaaaaaahahahahahahahahahaaaaaa.
@@DukeGMOLOL *cough* Myles *cough* 😃
She is
Great description 😉
I love how you talk Vandana, you are so natural, smart and strong minded. Thank you!
And wrong.
Yea ino
@🌕 True.
She is the Voice of the Soul
Such a strong women through her outspoken speech she evokes the people minds with her wide spread thoughts and by way of conveying it very crystal clear!!
I've come to Vandana by way of Russell Brand just today, and already I want to listen to everything she says. You know when someone speaks the truth and without any sleight of hand, that is someone to listen to and learn from. She has nothing to gain by telling us to eat what nature is already providing, while the likes of Bill Gates, wants us to end up eating foods grown to his design.
A great human! Who loves humanity so much.
Bimal Rathnagoda i
Animals, Plants, she Reconnects us All. Fully Agree she is Human
🙌
Please keep going Dr. Shiva!
It is very much alive! Women are correcting it....love this statement. TY for spreading such hope :)
stunning speach. so much truth and power in your words, Dr Shiva.
Powerful lies about agriculture.
This amazing woman is a true treasure for humanity!!! We need more brave people like her!
I love how she paint a description of the points she speaks on in your mind
The lady is a treasure. A real treasure.
What a beautiful inspiring soul❤️ thank you
Vandana Shiva rocks the world with her speech ,we need more persons like her to challenge the status quo
Friend elect responsible person to parliament and the state legislatures, then only your words will have some meaning
we definitely don't need people like her. She lied about her education and made a conspiracy theory on how USA used Indians as guinea pigs and how GMOs made corona virus.
@Kevin Sabu ... Her legit curriculum vitae can easily be found online. Some of us heard of her back in the late 1970’s / early 1980s in Ontario Canada. She started out with a PhD in quantum physics. If that doesn’t suggest a high intellect to you, I don’t know what would.
And what it's your research over this topic to say that?.
Is she telling a lie? You want to struggle to breath and to eat when these bastrds leave to space and leave you a broken land
The Deepest Love of the Forest... Indeed we Are Part of Nature, Not Divided from It... Delightful to Hear you Always Vandana Shiva
Indeed it is our Responsibility, our Choice to Eat, buy with Awareness. Nature has been engineered Perfectly. Men and Women staring at a Sunset, a Ravaging Sea, Facing looking inside their Soul Will only see the Truth of all that you have said on Agriculture, Seeds etc. Wise and True.
here you go..the most relevat speach i heard for a while. thank you vandana shiva
Great going Dr.Vandana Shive .Keep it up and never give up till the message reaches every one on earth.
I love Dr Vandana Shiva.
I predict she will be a household name in the west given another couple of years, much as Mahatmah Ghandi continues to be.
We - the world - surely needs a leader of wisdom and conscience to stand and show the way against the multi-national corporations and their well financed "governments."
Strong lady telling the truth
Strong in every aspect . Even in her body weight.
Indeed
@@joseluizm.garcia998 Your comment shows your intellectual level...pathetic comment...
wow mind blowing. Our modern, developed society leads to more hunger and destruction through a unsustainable exploitation of everyone, farmers and consumers. In Papua New Guinea people grow their own organic food for free, with minimal efforts also in terms of time and are never hungry. Who is smarter, the developed world or the original, simple way of living which is what we are meant for - a free life in paradise.
Organic Farming has Wisdom, Care for Humans and each Species. Many Cultures should stick to their Traditions indeed
Yeah
@@Vaninahypnotherapy --Organic Farming is environmental vandalism.
@@DukeGMOLOL why?
Still very relevant unfortunately: recently Gates has bought up a lot of US farming land and is likely going to push his inefficient and pesticide-requiring patented seeds on our food system.
“When it is understood that one loses joy and happiness in the attempt to possess them, the essence of natural farming will be realized. The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka, Father of Japanese natural farming
Yes Farming and Raising Children, Humanity is Intertwined.
Great lady. My respects to you.
God bless you
Big message in a simple way!🙏
I feel this woman!
What a spirit , she casts the most effective spell over one’s heart 🤗
“Before researchers become researches they should become philosophers.”
― Masanobu Fukuoka
Well said, Science with Wisdom
Good one!
... before anybody becomes ANYTHING.... they should become.... FARMERS.... choosing co-Organate Planet Ag-School over.... Planet Fly-in-the-Ointment.... not bang'n' Flies here.... it's generally the OINTMENT that's.... WRAWNG.... whichEVER the Case.... we DON'T want the flies IN.... the ointment.....
Thanks .. Its great speech, Energetic and mainly very true on Environmental. !!
"Mono culture mindset" I love this woman
Shiva has a lying mindset.
@@DukeGMOLOL by your GMO feeds then, you follow the herd mentality.
Remember science says man belongs to the animal kingdom.
You follow the His Master's Voice
@@bm8292 --I follow good science, not the herd.
@William Webber Why?
I wish I could see her more on tv
Wonderful thinking woman Vandana Shiva. Very inspirational
You are amazing!! Please keep speaking the truth. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! 🙏
Shiva lies about agriculture.
@@DukeGMOLOL you are also a big lier your parents does biggest mistake that the make you
Indeed
I just love the accent and the way Dr Vandana Shiva ma'am has talked. Totally amazing facts
God bless you madam.
I love this so much!
Each and every word is so inspiring and Alarming.
Salute you dear Ma'am
Love her, keep up the great work!!
Thank you Shiva Much Love David
You are amazing.
an eye opener.
GOD BLESS YOU
So fortunate to meet her in my life time.....🥰.such a grounded person ...loved her articles about climate change in my Malayalam second paper gave me insight about the drastic impact of cilmate change .
Wonderful and well constructed speech! Thanks so much mother Vandana!
She lies about modern agriculture.
@@DukeGMOLOL Reason weasel like you hide inside comment section and bark.. lol what fugly 🐖
@@DukeGMOLOL GMO can be used to modern agriculture, it's just that the use is incorrect
She has foresight and is highlighting tge change we can all make to our planet to survive and strife and ensuring sustainability of future generations.
What a brilliant person and woman!
how dare u make me write an essay with ur ideas
Fantastic.
The violence of the green revolution by Vandana Shiva is a must read book for everyone.
The green revolution saved a billion lives.
@@DukeGMOLOL saved billions lives?? It completely destroyed the production system. It aimed to increase production but resulted in hampering of the mixed cropping system which had been the best method to produce foods in balanced way.
@@satishdahal1416 --India was starving, Borlaug saved them from their primitive agricultural practices.
Brilliant woman indeed
@@DukeGMOLOL Primitive agricultural system was much better and scientific lad. You are utterly mistaken if you think primitive agriculture was as primitive as what few western fertilizer companies claim it to be.
She is a hero
Thanks, Great speech. Hope it reaches the deaf ears of the politicians.
She's wrong about modern agriculture.
Politicians are to busy taking bribes and evading blackmail by the Corporations.
We as in the people have to employ these solutions. You really want a corporate solution to a corporate made problem? Think about it!
@@DukeGMOLOL you are dangeer for human kind
She is for me a Politician, Polis: City, the People, the Voice of the People s Soul
So graceful and pleasing personality !!
This speech is an inspiration injected to our young minds to look forward to take initiative to preserve valuable seeds of our food chain. Let us take action to preserve indigenous knowledge systems of our own food without using chemical and pesticides.
I really love your thought.
God bless youDr. Vandana Shiva.
On a side line, it is important for people to limit the size of their families to two or three (max) children. They should do it voluntarily in order to invest more in the children that they do have. It is better to have two or three well raised and educated children than ten migrant workers that are increasingly being replaced by robotics.
I would go ever further and say 1 child per woman in America because our country drains the most resources. For more info on this idea, please refer to Terence Mckenna's recorded workshops/lectures.
I guess George is right?
Indeed
A voice of reason!!
10:50 every time we are eating, we are exercising our choice to help the planet or, help the market force. Let's become aware of the consequences of our buying choice.
Totally True
Thank you for educating we the people. Id like to know how the water cleans itself nsturally. Im behind the farmers. I cook 3x day but i eat litely like 1 egg n 1 bread or 1/2 can tuna on toast with tom.n such. Eat 2 cookies homemade after din. Lite portions hope it helps. No junk make my own tea too.
To learn how water is purified by nature look up mycoremediation by Trad Cotter or Paul Stamets extensive work with fungi. Fungi colonize the soil and break down or digest bacteria. Fungus keeps soil healthy and can act as an immune system for all organisms living and sharing that body of soil.
Responsible Attitude that Should be Taught
Wow, she is great!
Brilliant speech !!! 👌👍😊💕
she is absolutely right and it is not only a problem of India !!!
An xcellent speech which is motivating our young minds to go near the Nature Mother.
I am an American white male (part Hawaii): I have been observing the political arena for some time, as well as a study I had begun:
So far this woman comes close to what my studies have brought forth, the information which I have gathered.
But when I consider our connection with Gaia (mother earth), and what the elites are trying to do to kill her all under the guise of “saving the planet”:
But knowing most men do not have a proper understanding or connection with the planet- or with Gaia, so how can they help or consider themselves an expert on something they don’t understand properly… unless their intention is control… as is most men in a relationship.
True Words of knowledge
Thank you
May peaceful life prevail 🌿
I LOVE her vivid wording:
"Ecocidal"
"Bio-paracy" (on patented seeds)
Thank you Dr. Shiva for sharing your thoughts and feelings on global environmentalism, and you are right when you stated "environmentalism, is not a problem... because one feels it interferes with growth!"
Environmentalism is part of growth and most importantly sustainability into the near and distant future!
All viable corporations need one thing above all else to be successful in our competitive world economy, and that is a healthy sustainable environment from which to grow a business venture as capitalists with a heart can only do!
Providing their associates with clean breathable air, fresh clean drinking water, and a safe and secure workplace "environment!
Also when you stated that nature is not just something outside, as it is within us daily through the consumption of nutrition and precious elements!
Yes, we are part of nature ourselves!
Namaste
Peace Love Harmony
I love this processor/dr/scientist
@Michael Markowsky you're delusional
@Michael Markowsky Finaly someone reasonable
Greate message in the speech. ❤❤❤
Read her book Oneness vs the 1% it's mind-blowing! Great person
research permaculture. it's gaining in africa and japan to sustain itself. its a fascinating subject.
priestvanglak wish I could see your message back then
Yes!! Permaculture is a great movement that has a lot of answers to modern agricultural issues.
Thaks Mam, your speech is very stong 👍👍🙏🙏
What a great speech!
Don´t say the patriarchy part is right, but I am not from asia or even India - interesting point nethertheless.
I totally agree with the wholistic approach though. Wish you all the best and a big portion of luck on the way :)
Greetings and respect from Austria
I think when she is talking about patriarchy it is to point out that our World is too divided. She would like a kind of Reconciliation, Interconnectedness between each living Species and not One over the Other. We need Men as much as We Need Women.
Nicely said, nature is not out there we are part of it. Which reminds me of a quote by Alan Watts: "All the systems of nature work perfectly. Nothing rushed, nothing judged…but yet, it all works perfectly. Every single time. You are nature and you work perfectly! "
So true!
thanks ted folks!
Indeed we Learn so many Beautiful Insightfull Talks Here
This was an independently organized event, this is not directly associated with ted.
Gracias y Gracias por traducir al español.
great lady!!!!!!
No, a liar.
You spelled truth teller wrong
Great words.
Thank you Ma!!
True. We should learn to see things as a whole as a system interconnected
proud of you vandanaaji
Beef protein requires 15 times as much land and 10 times as much water as plant protein. End meat production and there'd be a massive surplus of food and land.
@Michael Markowsky "Cash crops" are animal feed. The vast majority of soy and grain protein is sold as animal feed.
It is indicative of a sociopathic/psychopathic condition to kill for the sake of enjoyment. Even worse when such a person rationalizes their behavior badly.
@@mrknesiah Not really, tell me what is cash crops exactly?
Adam_PlatLvyt Azra Cash crops are largely animal feed, the main consumer of grains and legumes like soy.
India has the highest percent of vegetarians. And those indians who even eat meet, eat it as just another side dish like pickles. Average Indian meat eater eats 5 kg per year which Americans with their big stomach eat within a week.
Very well said
Itne bold tho hum bhi nahi ...supubbb
Salute Madam !!
I Love her 💖
A great lady,we had a president who tried to change our suicidal agricultural methods and he was unceremoniously kicked out
Tq.... for speech mam....
My role model ♥️♥️♥️
Wow, what a brave woman!
It took me ages to find her book in print as in the UK it has a different title and is called:
Onenessvs The 1%: Shattering Illusions, Seeding Freedom. Does look like she
is being censored by the biggest bookseller online, I found her book on Waterstones and Ebay.
Thanks for that useful info. Also from the UK and looking to buy her books. Can I also recommend Winona La Duke on this topic

Dear TEDx Talks,
TEDxMasala,
Dr. Vandana Shiva,
I wrote about equality basic processes and guidelines prior to forming OWG, One World Government on your talk with Mr. Chris Hedges. With what I stated in public comment one can go to unlimited but democratically resolved issues through various stages until proper outcome occurs with proper guidelines. If one government in theory is not in uniform with the simple equative process but leans toward corporate or ??? another country can then step in as democratic resolving mediator where inequality would be stated outcome to resolve issue for full fairness and equality for all. If the folks demand other way then procedures are brought up to entice non democratic method to return for full democratic resolved issues other wise an automatic 50 year prison term may result if they remain defiantly unequal. This process can be a one world government without full scale even though it may be in certain instances when inequality is the norm. The teeth is the automatic 50 year prison term with no possibility of parole till sentence met. Guidelines for influence and disruption could add time...There is no reason we all can not live a normal and happy life as we all strive for health and productive ways to keep all inhabitants and earth equally healthy with innovations in same direction. Violators must work with and learn to achieve proper outcome to achieve world's democratic method.
Please read Dr. Edward Howells books and articles on raw food enzymes for health and longevity. I submitted same idea for a plantable bottle with one organic seed for regrowth of fruits and vegetables hopefully to regenerate new raw enzymes for single and family pack. I told the World Food Programme in Africa this idea but wasn't sure of amounts for family and single packs with ayurvedic ways for sustainability. I can only hope this idea catches on the world over as Dr. Howell would have liked. I also have ideas for kiosk style body scanner for clothes and shoes with other possibilities per need of area and or country. I'm just trying to help and pay it forward for our soon to be if not immediately implemented OWG worldwide equality. No matter the business the governments of the world owns them in mock forever as future undemocratic resolvability issues crop up under fairness doctrine. Thank you.
Sincerely,
Don Suiters

What a power house.
