Healing the Earth with Vandana Shiva: Regenerative Agriculture and Indigenous Leadership

Vandana Shiva, who has been working to protect the Earth and its biodiversity for 50 years, emphasizes grassroots movements led by Indigenous women to protect natural regions from deforestation, which can lead to disasters. Shiva believes Indigenous peoples and lands hold the key to healing the Earth and that women's leadership is crucial to achieving this. She advocates for protecting forests, seeds, and traditional agricultural practices and undoing paradigms that define damaging the Earth as "progress."
In this video, Shiva highlights the importance of understanding the impact of natural food production without the use of Fossil Chemicals, and shifting towards regenerating the land, biodiversity, and soil health, especially through protecting natural Seeds. She believes that healing the Earth and healing humanity through social justice are fundamentally interconnected, and to heal broken systems of both, we need to make them whole again. Sustainability and justice go hand in hand, thereby sustainability is justice for the Earth.
Regenerative agriculture is important because it creates food that gives energy, heals, regenerates, holds together, and creates relationships. Vandana Shiva believes that ordinary people who care have the power to protect the environment against powerful interests, as demonstrated by the Chipko movement in India. She emphasizes the importance of protecting seeds from being patented or genetically modified, and she believes that love is always stronger than destructive tendencies.
We sincerely thank Vandana for her decades of great work and for having this fruitful conversation with us - may she continue to be an inspiring light for Earth healing!

Sexism works both ways... when we all learn how to function within the situation based on need, a time to be soft as female and a time to be hard as a male, then we all move forward with love ans success.

the fake role model are what is creating this issue to begin with..

[@peacockLife]

can we please stop with this? women have been struck down by men forever.. we don't need to hear this, those who need help will be helped, those who want to work together will work together.. we are not here to hold anyone's hands.. men need to start supporting women too, just as women have been supporting me forever

Unfortunately men often feel entitled to women. Matriarchal societies exist and are already successful without this entitled energy from others

[@thedomestead3546]

@@Rebecca-fo4nn it is definitely cyclical.
All men come from a woman and if fortunate, have good mothers.
Some do, some do not.
I believe we would get alot further with kindness and understanding than with idealism. We are all the way we are for a reason.
Most definitely many women have been abused and have suffered at the hands of cruel men throughout history, but this is a bad man issue, not a man issue.
It might be that those cruel men had cruel mothers.

@@thedomestead3546 I agree, my culture beliefs in a third gender which I adhere to wherein I carry both a masculine and a feminine soul. But we are very blinded by binary and wounded ideas of gender in this socio historical moment. Abuse of women is abuse of the earth, but so is abuse of people of all genders. That’s for sure
