My inspiration, Vandana Shiva, The Seeds of Vandana Shiva came out with her new book today.
"In an age of climate catastrophes and extinction, we need to turn back to nature and learn, once again, how to live sustainably on planet Earth―beginning with our relationship to food.
In The Nature of Nature, world-renowned environmental thinker and activist Vandana Shiva argues that food is the currency of life, a thread woven throughout the web of all life, indivisible from Earth and its natural systems.
When this interdependence is ruptured―as it is now―the conditions for the “metabolic disorder” of climate change and countless other ecological imbalances come into being.
Proposals put forward by Big Ag and Big Tech to solve the intertwined climate and food crises will only exacerbate both. With clarity and a detailed analysis, Shiva unpacks the false promises made by technology-oriented, lab-intensive digital agriculture, revealing the dangers posed by fake and ultra-processed foods―dangers to the environment to increasing greenhouse gas emissions, to the health of animals, and to our health and food security."
