It aims at raising the alarm about the high chemical input in agriculture and food production that industrial agriculture and the Poison Cartel are spreading around the world, the harm it is causing to the health of people and the planet, and showing the way for the needed systems change towards a sustainable, agroecological and healthy future. It advocates the need for a new paradigm, a new way of thinking about health which is ecologically centered, a new paradigm based on systems thinking and not mechanistic reductionism, recognizing that the health of the earth and people\u2019s health are \u00a0inextricably linked and one continuum. The Food for Health Manifesto aims at helping strengthen the food and health movements as a whole by creating dynamic synergy between the movements for Sustainable Agriculture and Public Health and between consumers, producers and stakeholders.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I8RlO9ry_RQ?si=l8eOgXUtXMrcmkj-\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/4TRFRVczxEg?si=wRZh7W1GfgCBtCrX\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Also read:<\/p>\n<h4><a title=\"Biodiversity and Sustainable Development Goals\" href=\"\/?p=2757\">Biodiversity and Sustainable Development Goals<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>By Dr Vandana Shiva, 22 May 2018<\/p>\n<h4><a title=\"Vandana Shiva in Florence for a Manifesto against Agrotoxics: \u201cThe Health of the Planet and the People are one\u201d\" href=\"\/?p=2752\">Vandana Shiva in Florence for a Manifesto against Agrotoxics: \u201cThe Health of the Planet and the People are one\u201d<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>By Manlio Masucci, Navdanya International, 14 May 2018<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In collaboration with Friends of Navdanya USA and Becket Films (The Seeds of Vandana Shiva), Dr Vandana Shiva, president of Navdanya International launched the Food for Health Manifesto in Santa Barbara, California, on 12 May 2019.
