We either think of ourselves as being separate from Nature or as being one and part of it.<\/p>\n<p>The industrial agriculture paradigm, which sees the world as a machine, and not as a self-organized living system, has created devastation on the planet through extraction and exploitation. Together, the ecologically destructive practices of the industrial agriculture paradigm account for 29% of all greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), making the global food system one of the main culprits behind climate change and environmental degradation. Acting as if the world were a machine undermines and eventually destroys living processes and organic systems.<\/p>\n<p>Following our <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/publications\/biodiversity-is-life\/\" >Biodiversity is Life<\/a> booklet, which showcases the deep interconnections between our health and the health of our ecosystems and planet, this new booklet lays out how, today more than ever we need the agroecological cultures of the world to take the forefront and show us what it means to be rooted in harmony with the Earth. The aim should be to work alongside nature to restore its biodiversity and rejuvenate its natural cycles to produce Real Food. These solutions already exist and are being implemented by local, diverse food communities around the world. Showing us that it is possible to walk a path of living in harmony with nature. We are part of the Earth\u2019s systems, our food is a continuum of health from the ecosystems of the earth. We are deeply and inherently interconnected.<\/p>\n<p>The real solution to the ecological and climate crisis does not lie in creating substitutes for food or expanding the industrial paradigm, but in scaling the initiatives all over the world that are already working on healing our connection with the Earth through care.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Regeneration-is-life-Navdanya.pdf\" >Regeneration Is Life &#8211; Navdanya International &#8211;&gt; <strong>Download PDF file<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>________________________________________________<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/navdanya.org\/\" ><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/logo_navdanya-vandana-shiva-e1572937300669.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-146963\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transcend.org\/tms\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/logo_navdanya-vandana-shiva-e1572937300669.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"58\" \/><\/a>Navdanya<\/strong><\/a><em> and the Navdanya movement were created by Dr. Vandana Shiva 30 years ago in India to defend <strong>Seed and Food sovereignty<\/strong> and small farmers around the world. Navdanya pioneered the\u00a0movement of <strong>seed saving and seed freedom<\/strong>, which began in response to\u00a0the crisis of erosion of agricultural\u00a0 biodiversity 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 <strong>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. <\/em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/..\/A\/Downloads\/info@navdanyainternational.org\"><em>info@navdanyainternational.org<\/em><\/a><em> &#8211; <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.navdanyainternational.it\/en\/about-us-navdanya-international\" ><em>More\u2026<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/navdanyainternational.org\/publications\/regeneration-is-life\/\" >Go to Original \u2013 navdanyainternational.org<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nov 2023 &#8211; On the occasion of the 28th Climate COP.
