Event Description : LILA PRISM lecture 'Vandana Shiva : Food as Continuity' a talk by Vandana Shiva.
There are 3 imperatives for the continuity of food. First, food is the embodiment of nature’s processes, and ecological laws have continuity. Second, food is nourishment and health – the laws by which the metabolism of our bodies is maintained have continuity. Third, food is culture – culture is change with continuity. Today, discontinuity and rupture related to the food system is leading to major disruptions and dislocations in ecological systems, health systems, and cultural systems. This lecture will address these disruptions, but also food movements like Navdanya, which are shaping a food system that protects the Earth, our Farmers, our Health, and our Diverse Food Cultures.
Vandana Shiva is a trained physicist and an inter-disciplinary expert in science, technology and environmental policy. After founding the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in Dehradun in 1982, she created Navdanya in 1991. This national movement, aiming at protecting the diversity and integrity of living resources and promoting organic farming and fair trade, served beyond half a million men and women farmers in two decades. She is an acclaimed and awarded teacher and author, a recognised activist and an acclaimed communicator. Dr. Shiva had held board positions in various government and state-based committees. Beyond India, she has campaigned internationally on issues surrounding biotechnology and genetic engineering but also on the general upliftment of the woman’s condition across the globe. She serves on Prince Charles’s expert group on Sustainable Agriculture, she is a member of President Zapatero’s Scientific Committee in Spain, and she is now working with the Bhutan government.
Chair : Somnath Bandyopadhayay is an Associate Professor at Nalanda University. He combines policy with practice, natural sciences with social sciences and environment with poverty.
