Dr. Vandana Shiva, the greatest humanitarian ever who is a most important element in informing the planets farmers about the truth concerning GMO cultivation and how it is destroying healthy agriculture. It is with honor that I serve her mission.
Namaste.. This is LOVE ,worth SHARING.
Vandana Shiva, a real life superhero!
let's give up the whole language of globalization and turn our attention to the site.
but with nice safe regulations .. our system is already a mess. How do we transition?
It is easy, but it takes time for the chemicals to leach away where they will not prevent healthy agriculture,but sadly they will create problems further down the road much further than man ever planned for.
nice
🙏🏻🙏🏻👏👏👏💐💐💐
big data "packaged as religion". indeed, deleuze's "order words"
This woman gets paid 40,000 each appearance to have the opportunity to trash talk those that are trying to help save dying children. Oh she's a hero, sign me up.
+Ashley Burt source?
If you were a farmer who never joined the conventional/gmo/chemical agriculture system of farming, you would never be stating such folly.Please read "Altered Genes,Twisted Truth" and "Seeds of Deception" and you will discover how healthy agriculture can create healthy foods rather than destroy our diverse seed stocks with monopolies that have little desire to practice healthy agriculture. Poisoning the human race and the animals that feed them are never a topic of any importance on the GMO websites.
stating what? , just asking you for the source of information that you are saying about the 40k...
What's so wrong about $40,000 for an appearance when the proceeds go to develop more great programs of sustainable agriculture. Why even ask such a question?What were you inferring with your comment?
She deserves more. I would pay her more for such great job.
