Bija Vidyapeeth

In a world dominated by greed and competition, speed and restlessness, pollution and ecological destruction, war and violence, RFSTE/NAVDANYA's educational initiative Bija Vidyapeeth at the Navdanya Organic Farm, offers a unique opportunity to explore and practise the art and science of sustainability based on the principles of sustainability and diversity, in the peaceful, pollution- free setting of Navdanya's organic farm in Doon Valley.

Founders of Bija Vidyapeeth

The Bija Vidyapeeth offers insights into the tenets of sustainability and deep democracy through interactions with the foremost intellectuals of our times and sustainable communities in an ambience that reinvigorates our vital link with nature, promotes contemplation, enquiry and dynamic action.

Navdanya also works with children across the country on biodiversity awareness by organising school programmes, excursions and festivals. Navdanya facilitated the Children's Earth Summit at Johannesburg (2002) where children from India and Africa gave voice to their vision of a Sustainable Earth through theatre, music and printing.
