champions sustainable agriculture, biodiversity, food sovereignty and the rights of small farmers around the world.

When young people walk through agroecological farm When young people walk through agroecological farms, touch living soil, and meet the farmers who care for it, something shifts. What once seemed distant or abstract: biodiversity, food systems, ecological citizenship, becomes embodied knowledge.

Terrae Vivae is Navdanya International's programme for cultivating this shift. It's not about transmitting information but about creating the conditions for a different relationship with the Earth. Through direct experience with water, soil, seeds, plants, and communities, participants begin to see themselves not as separate from nature but as part of a living web of interdependence.

This approach builds on over a decade of Navdanya Earth University work in India and connects local practice with global movements for food sovereignty, biodiversity, and Earth Democracy. Education becomes the first thread in a broader fabric: awareness, active participation, practical skills, and the regeneration of ecological communities rooted in resilience and shared responsibility.

Young people don't just learn: they become protagonists of change in their own territories, carrying forward a worldview where the Earth is recognised as a living organism and every being matters.

On this International Women’s Day, we honour the w On this International Women’s Day, we honour the women who defend life at its roots, keeping seeds, food, and communities alive in the face of climate chaos and industrial agriculture. 

Across India, from rice cultures to Himalayan highlands and Adivasi forests, women farmers are regenerating soil, biodiversity and food sovereignty through their “gardens of hope”.

Today we share the films Annapurna and Shakti, which celebrate the courage of women seed keepers who walk away from GM crops and debt to cultivate autonomy, dignity, and resilience from the ground up. Watch, share, and stand with the women defending seeds, food, and the future of the Earth.

Cultivating ecological citizenship: young people e Cultivating ecological citizenship: young people exploring landscape, biodiversity and food 🌱 

In the first meetings of our new program, we began a shared journey of learning, listening and dialogue with a group of high school students. Together, we explored four key topics: food and how it is produced, eco-anxiety and climate change, local landscapes and biodiversity, and the state of water in Lakes Bracciano and Martignano. The conversations showed a strong interest in where food comes from, how animals are raised, the differences between local production and large-scale distribution, and the social value of food as a daily moment of connection and sharing. Students also expressed a desire to better understand their territory and its biodiversity, linking this curiosity to their personal experiences of extreme weather events and concerns about the future. 

Paesaggio, biodiversità e alimentazione: al via il progetto “RiGenerAzione Ecologica: Cittadinanza e Partecipazione” 🌱 

Nei primi incontri del percorso con le classi del @liceo_scientifico_ignazio_vian di Bracciano, abbiamo avviato un cammino di conoscenza, ascolto e confronto per costruire un clima di fiducia e porre le basi del lavoro dei prossimi mesi. Ragazze e ragazzi si sono confrontati su quattro temi chiave: cibo e metodi di produzione, eco-ansia e cambiamento climatico, paesaggio e biodiversità locale, stato dell’acqua nei laghi di Bracciano e Martignano. Dal dialogo è emerso un forte interesse per la provenienza del cibo, il ruolo degli allevamenti, le differenze tra produzioni locali e grande distribuzione e il valore sociale dell’alimentazione, insieme al desiderio di conoscere più a fondo il territorio e la sua biodiversità. 

RiGenerAzione Ecologica: Cittadinanza e Partecipazione è un progetto di Navdanya International co-finanziato dal @mase_it nell’ambito dell’Avviso pubblico SNSvS6 per iniziative a supporto dell’attuazione della Strategia Nazionale per lo Sviluppo Sostenibile – Vettori di sostenibilità.
Semillas libres frente a la privatización de la vi Semillas libres frente a la privatización de la vida
Los días 22 y 23 de noviembre Navdanya International participó en Semilla en Resistencia Global con nuestro nuevo informe sobre “Semillas de Resistencia – Desregulación de los OGM y Movilización Popular” (enlace en bio).
En la Ciudad de México, Semillas de Vida convocó a científicxs, campesinxs, comunidades indígenas y sociedad civil para un encuentro intergeneracional en defensa de semillas libres, sistemas alimentarios justos y de la naturaleza como un bien común vivo —no como un activo corporativo.
En un momento en el que el material genético, las semillas y los recursos naturales son objeto de privatización y control mediante nuevas técnicas genómicas, esta alianza es tanto necesaria como urgente. En Navdanya International nos honra regresar a México y contribuir a este proceso con nuestro nuevo informe referente a los desarrollos más recientes sobre Organismos Genéticamente Modificados (OGM) y las llamadas “Nuevas Técnicas Genómicas”, poniendo en evidencia la dirección a la que se orientan las nuevas legislaciones y los crecientes intentos por desregular y normalizar tecnologías que amenazan la biodiversidad, los derechos de las y los agricultores y la soberanía de las semillas. El informe también destaca la resistencia global que surge desde los movimientos de base, las redes campesinas y los pueblos indígenas que defienden la vida frente al acaparamiento. Lo que nos une es una comprensión compartida: la vida es una red de relaciones. Para vivir bien, debemos proteger esta red con cuidado, responsabilidad y respeto, entendiendo a las semillas, los suelos, las culturas y las comunidades como inseparables. Juntas y juntos, fortalecemos las raíces de un futuro basado en la dignidad, la biodiversidad y la soberanía colectiva.
La Fundación Semillas de Vida es una organización que nació en 2007 y impulsa la articulación de esfuerzos entre productores, consumidores y la comunidad científica y académica, para contribuir al conocimiento, la conservación y el mejoramiento de las razas de maíz mexicano y de las especies asociadas a la milpa, bajo principios de agricultura sustentable.
