\"\"<\/a><\/strong>Navdanya<\/a><\/strong> and the Navdanya movement were created by Dr. Vandana Shiva 30 years ago in India to defend Seed and Food sovereignty<\/strong> and small farmers around the world. Navdanya pioneered the\u00a0movement of seed saving and seed freedom<\/strong>, which began in response to\u00a0the crisis of erosion of agricultural\u00a0biodiversity and introduction of GMOs and patents on seeds through intellectual property rights (IPRs) and so-called \u2018free trade\u2019 agreements. It has long fought against biopiracy, the patenting of indigenous knowledge by self-interested multinational corporations and won cases related to Neem, basmati rice and wheat in India. Navdanya promotes a new agricultural and economic paradigm, a culture of food for health, where ecological responsibility and economic justice replace the present greed, consumerism and competition which have become dominant in society. It aims at regaining the common good as a foundation for a renewed sense of community, solidarity and culture of peace. We strive to achieve these goals through the conservation, renewal and rejuvenation<\/strong> of the gifts of biodiversity we have received from nature and our ancestors, and to defend these gifts as commons.
