She has been at the forefront of seed-saving, food sovereignty, and connecting the dots between the destruction of nature and indiscriminate corporate greed. In her keynote talk, Dr. Shiva will reflect on a life of activism, recounted in her new memoir, <i>Terra Viva<\/i>. She shares memories of her childhood in post-partition India, and reflects on how she was called to activism by the powerful Chipko movement\u2013 whose women were \u2018the real custodians of biodiversity-related knowledge.\u2019 She discusses how she later worked alongside some of the world\u2019s most celebrated activists and environmentalists fighting for a more habitable planet and healthier democracies. With the challenges revealed by the COVID crisis, the privatisation of biotechnology, and the commodification of our biological and natural resources, Dr Shiva illuminates a path forward and continues to inspire new generations of activists along the way.<\/p>\n<p>Speaker: Vandana Shiva<br \/>\nChair: Jyoti Fernandes<\/p>\n<div class=\"video-container\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u2018We can panic or be afraid of their power, or you can see the shallowness of their power, which is built on lies, money and violence.

The first wave of genetically modified (GMO) crops made false promises to reduce pesticide use and create higher yields and profits for farmers \u2013 from cotton farmers in Asia to maize growers in North America. There is very little evidence that this happened and instead the reality is one of increased herbicide use, ecological damage, static or reduced yields, greater farmer insecurity, greater corporate control and industrialisation. North America led the way with false promises but farmers in many countries have paid the price. While opposition within the EU has protected the UK to some extent, Brexit and high tech zeal for gene editing technology are now changing the dynamic for the new wave of modification. The narrative that gene editing (GE) is not GMO and is somehow \u201cakin to nature\u201d is gaining ground even amongst farmers who call themselves \u201cregenerative\u201d and \u201csustainable\u201d. Pro GE legislation is being pushed in the UK and across the EU on the back of yet more false promises and hype.<\/p>\n<p>Speakers:<br \/>\nJim Goodman<br \/>\nGerald Miles<br \/>\nVandana Shiva<br \/>\nLiz O\u2019Neill<\/p>\n<p>Chair:<br \/>\nEle Rose<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/orfc.org.uk\/session\/gms-false-promises-could-the-uk-be-next\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tickettailor.com\/events\/oxfordrealfarmingconference\/717391\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Register<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>5 January 2023 &#8211; 11am GMT In the Name of the Farmer: Vandana Shiva recalls a lifetime of campaigning for small-scale farmers For over four decades, Vandana Shiva, has vociferously advocated for farmers\u2019 rights, indigenous knowledge, diversity, localisation, and real democracy.
