Vandana Shiva on the Problem with Genetically-Modified Seeds
For more go to: http://billmoyers.com/segment/vandana-shiva-on-the-problem-with-genetically-modified-seeds/ Bill talks to scientist and philosopher Vandana Shiva, who's become a rock star in the global battle over genetically modified seeds. These seeds -- considered "intellectual property" by the big companies who own the patents -- are globally marketed to monopolize food production and profits. Opponents challenge the safety of genetically modified seeds, claiming they also harm the environment, are more costly, and leave local farmers deep in debt as well as dependent on suppliers. Shiva, who founded a movement in India to promote native seeds, links genetic tinkering to problems in our ecology, economy, and humanity, and sees this as the latest battleground in the war on Planet Earth.

Filthy US crap rejected by our farmers in India, thanks to crusaders like Vandana Shiva. Filthy crap people of US use your filthy foul language elsewhere.

Dr. Vandana Shiva is a savior of farmers the world over and we are blessed to have her as a guiding light among so many falsehoods spread by the GMO industry that only wants monopoly and total control over the seed/feed/food while claiming fantastic achievements that cannot be supported by facts that are slowly coming to light since there are so few researchers who are properly investigating these claims that go unchallenged.If there were more people investigating the false claims of GMO's,they would not be planted anywhere as they more harmful than anyone ever imagined they could ever be as people have little of no idea where food is created or how it is is brought to them where they can conveniently buy it.There is an almost complete disconnect and that is causing a lot of destruction of our biosphere and environment that may never be corrected if ever.

Anti-globalization activist. Uses YouTube and mass media to conveniently hock her bad science. Hmnmm.
A hypocrite and delusional fool rolled into one. -
This woman is pure evil.

Modern methods of farming are simply not sustainable. Small farmers pay the brunt as the increase in yield is negligible (ground reality is different from these Corporations' claims). Also soil health deteriorates fast due to pesticide use. And it is no secret that "scientific publications" in journals of repute are often found to be wrong, or put forth deceptively.

Why did she say the Gagaduva WHEN she ask for 50,000 and up to speak. I mean she is in it for the money.... Go buy her new book so you can think your enlightened and everyone else will see you as the blind faith idiot!

Funny how people like Vandana and Deepak Chopra sound like geniuses to idiots but idiots to those who understand the terms and bad science they throw around!!!!

Thanks Shiva Ji for your effort to let live free in future too.

if her policies are implemented billions will die from poverty and hunger.
She's damning not just companies but the thinking mind of man itself. She will take us to the cave. -
Thanks mom..... to fight for us..
-
I'm glad she's on our side.I thank her for inspiration.

I was so enlightened by Dr Shiva's keynote speech, and learned so much about the dangers of GMO seeds, biodiversity & biotechnology. She is a pioneer in the fight against the chemical companies who are ruining the earth and our health just for money. It is frightening what these companies are doing and the propaganda they are spreading. I believe everyone, every person should watch her videos and her talks. Maybe then this would wake people up as to what is happening to our country and around the world. Thank you Dr. Shiva, for speaking up.

In existence there is nobody who is superior and nobody who is inferior. The blade of grass and the great star are absolutely equal... But man wants to be higher than others, hence he has to fight continuously. All complexity arises out of this fight. The innocent person is one who has renounced fighting; who is no longer interested in being higher, who is no longer interested in performing, in proving that he is someone special; who has become like a roseflower or like a dew drop on the lotus leaf; who has become part of this infinity; who has melted, merged and become one with the ocean and is just a wave who has no idea of the 'I'. The disappearance of the 'I' is innocence.
