Dear Friends,

Navdanya in collaboration with India International Centre, invite you the join us in Navdanya's annual festival Bhoomi. In this Year of Soil, our annual festival Bhoomi is dedicated to Maati Maa, the ever nurturing Living Soil so as to renew our commitment to her. In a day long festival, featuring panel discussions and the Culture of Soil then theater, film, music and an exhibition.

We are made up of the same five elements- earth, water, fire, air and space- that constitute the universe. We are the soil. We are the earth. What we do to the soil, we do to ourselves. And it is no accident that the words “humus” and “humans” have the same root. This ecological truth is forgotten in the dominant paradigm because it is based on eco-apartheid, the false idea that we are separate an independent of the earth and also because it defines soil as dead matter. However, Living Seed and Living Soil are the foundation of living and lasting societies.

Please do join us..

About Navdanya

Navdanya means “nine seeds” (symbolizing protection of biological and cultural diversity) and also the “new gift” (for seed as commons, based on the right to save and share seeds In today’s context of biological and ecological destruction, seed savers are the true givers of seed. This gift or “dana” of Navadhanyas (nine seeds) is the ultimate gift – it is a gift of life, of heritage and continuity. Conserving seed is conserving biodiversity, conserving knowledge of the seed and its utilization, conserving culture, conserving sustainability.
