It is good to remember that the planet is carrying you  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Everything I need to know I learned in the forest  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) It is often too late by the time the government reacts  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) When it comes to owning the seed for collecting royalties, the GMO companies say, ‘it’s mine.’ But when it comes to contamination, cross-pollination, health problems, the response is we’re not liable.  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Something is very, very wrong when people don’t have access to drinking water, and Coke creates its market out of that scarcity  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Diversity creates harmony, and harmony creates beauty, balance, bounty and peace in nature and society, in agriculture and culture, in science and in politics.  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) I saw brilliant ideas coming out of the [Chipko] movement that needed better articulation, that needed elaboration and systematic analysis. I just followed that and it’s been very exciting.  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) It is time to learn from the mistakes of monocultures of the mind and the essentialising violence of reductionist thought. It is time to turn to diversity for healing.  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Squeezing the lives of people is now being proposed as the saviour of the planet.

You can see this in the way issues are framed. It’s a permanent replay of jobs-versus-the-environment, in nature-versus-bread. These are extremely artificial dichotomies.  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) The environmental movement can only survive if it becomes a justice movement. As a pure environmental movement, it will either die, or it will survive as a corporate ‘greenwash’. Anyone who’s a sincere environmentalist can’t stand that role.  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) It’s not an investment if its destroying the planet  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Soil, not oil, holds the future for humanity  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Food is the place where you begin  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Whatever happens to seed affects the web of life  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) It is not an investment if it destroys the planet  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) We must occupy the food system to create food democracy  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) The end of consumerism and accumulation is the beginning of the joy of living  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Uniformity is not nature’s way; diversity is nature’s way  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) In nature’s economy the currency is not money, it is life  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) When you control seed you control food  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Cultivating and conserving diversity is no luxury in our times: it is a survival imperative  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) The art of teaching is clarity and the art of learning is to listen  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Democracy... begins from the ground up. Anything living grows from the bottom up. Everything dangerous, like bombs, gets dropped from the sky down  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) We share this planet, our home, with millions of species. Justice and sustainability both demand that we do not use more resources than we need  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) We will either defend the rights of people and the earth, and for that we have to dismantle the rights that corporations have assigned to themselves, or corporations will in the next three decades destroy this planet, in terms of human possibilities  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) An organic farmer is the best peacemaker today, because there is more violence, more death, more destruction, more wars, through a violent industrial agricultural system. And to shift away from that into an agriculture of peace is what organic farming is doing  (Vandana Shiva Quotes) Genetic engineering has never been about saving the world, it’s about controlling the world  (Vandana Shiva Quotes)
