When Indian activist Vandana Shiva began her speech at the University of Costa Rica’s agronomy auditorium Tuesday, you could still here hear the drums and claps of hundreds outside waiting to get in.
Shiva, originally a theoretical physicist, has won several international awards for her conservation work, and is known worldwide for her positions against genetically modified crops and pesticides. She visited Costa Rica this week in support of the country’s growing movement against GMOs.
