Join us for a special screening of The Seeds of Vandana Shiva (2021), a powerful documentary that traces the life and work of world-renowned environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva. Through interviews, archival footage, and on-the-ground storytelling, the film explores Shiva’s lifelong fight against industrial agriculture, GMO monopolies, and the corporate control of food systems. It celebrates her vision of regenerative farming, Indigenous knowledge, and ecological stewardship, revealing how one woman’s fierce advocacy sparked global movements for biodiversity and food justice.

Following the film, we will host a panel discussion on seed banks and seed libraries, the politics of food systems, and the importance of seed sovereignty in a warming world. With Randa Toko from Gaia Foundation, alongside other leaders in seed sovereignty, we will explore how community seed-saving practices challenge extractive agricultural models, why access to seeds is a political issue, and what it means to protect the genetic diversity that sustains life.
