In this course, Vandana Shiva will join us for a rare teaching week in the UK, to investigate Earth Democracy and how it can be brought to life through the concrete experience of her food movement Navdanya – a network founded to help farmers achieve seed and food sovereignty, now the largest direct marketing, fairtrade organic network in India.
Vandana will be focussing on the core concepts of her latest book Earth Democracy and Making Peace with the Earth, in which she argues that consumerism lubricates the war against the earth and that corporate control violates all ethical and ecological limits. She will be looking to involve participants in how we might reframe the dominant narrative of our times from Corporate Globalisation to Earth Democracy.
This is a course for activists, politicians, philosophers, food growers and all those interested in creating a more just world for all.
