DESCRIPTION:As natural disasters, climate change, GMOs, and an economic system 
 dependent on oil devastate farmers in the developing world, Dr. Vandana 
 Shiva's Seeds of Hope project provides an answer.\n\nA physicist, 
 ecologist, and activist, Dr. Shiva discusses how a global industrial food 
 system that supplies the few with plenty at the expense of the many "is a 
 recipe for eating oil," resulting in growing hunger, soaring commodity 
 prices, food riots and an alarming pattern of 150,000 farmer suicides in 
 India.  The situation is critical and becoming more desperate each 
 day.\n\nDr. Shiva's Seeds of Hope project in India is restoring life to the 
 suicide belt of India and assisting communities affected by recent 
 tsunamis, drought, and the effects of climate change.  Her policy advocacy 
 on the international scene has successfully defended the right to seed for 
 farmers and the right to food and water for all.\n\nWinner of the 
 alternative Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 (the Right Livelihood Award) and 
 named by AsiaWeek as one of the top five most important people in Asia in 
 2001, Vandana Shiva is a dynamic, provocative thinker and commentator on 
 the environment, women's issues, and international affairs.  She is author 
 of Biopiracy: The Plunder of Nature and Knowledge and Stolen Harvest: The 
 Hijacking of the Global Food Supply, among many other books.  Dr. Shiva is 
 a member of the IFG board of directors and the founder and director of 
 Navdanya International, a science and policy research center.\n
