Biodiversity And Conservation Are Important!
Vandana Shiva is here to tell us why…
Lecture on August 29, 17:00; film screenings on August 27 – 28, 20:00
Háskólabíó / Bíó Paradís
Lecture is free.
World-renowned academic, feminist, author and philosopher Vandana Shiva will
be at Háskólabíó on Monday, August 29, to give a lecture on the importance of
biodiversity and conservation.
“Over the past three decades I have tried to be the change I want to see,” Van-
dana writes on the Navdanya website. “When I found that dominant science and
technology served the interests of powerful, I left academics to found the Research
Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology, a participatory, public interest
research organisation. When I found global corporations wanted to patent seeds,
crops or life forms, I started Navdanya to protect biodiversity, defend farmers' rights
and promote organic farming.”
To date Navdanya, which means “nine seeds,” has worked to create 54 com-
munity seed banks and has trained some 500.000 farmers in food sovereignty and
sustainable farming. Its claim to fame also includes creating the “largest direct
marketing, fair trade organic network in the country.”
To get ready for her inspiring lecture, be sure to go to Bíó Paradís to watch the
films ‘Life Running Out Of Control’ and ‘Scientists Under Attack’, screened respec-
tively on Saturday and Sunday at 20:00.
