On Monday, May 6, Dr. Shiva will speak and present an international pledge for \u201cPoison-Free Food &amp; Farming by 2030\u201d to state policymakers and collaborating advocacy organizations in front of the Vermont Statehouse in Montpelier from 11:00 a.m.-1:00 p.m.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Policymakers and representatives from various Vermont organizations will also speak and link their work to the goals put forward in the Pledge for Poison-Free Food and Farming. Attendees will have the opportunity to sign on to the pledge and explore ways in which they can engage in important policy issues related to limiting the use of synthetic pesticides, within Vermont and beyond. Supporting organizations, including the Vermont Healthy Soils Coalition, Rural Vermont, Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT), Soil4Climate, Building A Local Economy (BALE), the Real Organic Project and many others, will be present to promote their own initiatives related to the collective movement toward a poison-free world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Montpelier event is part of Dr. Shiva\u2019s \u201cNortheast Earth Journey,\u201d a series of presentations May 4-8 geared toward concerned citizens, farmers, health-care professionals and policy-makers focused on the interrelated issues of food system toxins, biodiversity, rights of farmers and climate change. Coordinated by Sterling College\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/sterlingcollege.edu\/school-of-the-new-american-farmstead\/\">School of the New American Farmstead<\/a>, Dr. Shiva\u2019s trip is to galvanize support for her initiative to unite communities across the globe that are campaigning for food and farming practices not reliant upon the use of synthetic pesticides and other toxins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Dr. Shiva will launch her \u201cNortheast Earth Journey\u201d on May 4 when she delivers the commencement address at <a href=\"https:\/\/sterlingcollege.edu\/\">Sterling College<\/a> in Craftsbury Common. On May 5, she will lead a daylong workshop at Sterling College for activists focused on \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/sterlingcollege.edu\/course\/strategies-for-social-environmental-justice-insights-from-india\/\">Strategies for Social and Environmental Justice<\/a>.\u201d From Vermont, Dr. Shiva will proceed to Massachusetts, Connecticut and New York to present Navdanya\u2019s pledge and initiative for \u201cPoison-Free Food &amp; Farming by 2030\u201d to a variety of audiences in those states.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Since the fall of 2017, Dr. Shiva and her colleagues at Navdanya (the India-based organization founded by Dr. Shiva to promote seed-saving, biodiversity conservation, organic farming practices and the rights of farmers) have been working to connect different communities around the world that are working toward poison-free futures through a variety of political, grassroots and economic initiatives. Dr. Shiva\u2019s \u201cNortheast Earth Journey\u201d comes at a critical moment in our history when the true costs of food and farming systems based on the use of synthetic pesticides and other toxins are becoming increasingly evident. Scientists have recently unveiled a broad range of studies documenting extraordinary declines in biodiversity around the globe. Meanwhile, juries in the US are siding with plaintiffs as a long line of individuals suffering from cancer pursue lawsuits against the manufacturers of glyphosate\u2014the active ingredient in commonly-used herbicides such as Roundup.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Supporters are encouraged to take the Navdanya International Pledge for a \u201cPoison-Free Food and Farming\u201d initiative. <a href=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Poison-Free-Pledge-and-Action-4.pdf\">Visit this link<\/a> for more information on the pledge and Navdanya\u2019s work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>For more information on the Vermont Statehouse event, <\/b>please contact the event organizer: Cat Buxton, catduffybuxton@gmail.com Mobile: 802-359-3330<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>For more information on Dr. Shiva\u2019s \u201cNortheast Earth Journey\u201d from May 4-8, <\/b>please contact: Philip Ackerman-Leist, Dean, School of the New American Farmstead at Sterling College ackermanleist@sterlingcollege.edu Mobile: 802-353-0965<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-8596 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"579\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n.jpg 579w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n-181x300.jpg 181w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n-386x640.jpg 386w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n-483x800.jpg 483w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n-362x600.jpg 362w, https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/58578330_2278788799075868_7529312196577198080_n-200x332.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 579px) 100vw, 579px\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ufeff Join acclaimed scientist and author Dr. Vandana Shiva as she presents an international pledge for &#8220;Poison Free Food and Farming by 2030&#8221; to state policymakers and advocacy organizations.
