Vandana Shiva

In this powerful talk, Vandana Shiva, renowned environmental activist and author of Soil Not Oil, exposes the hidden links between climate change, fossil fuels, and industrial agriculture. She argues that the real solution to the climate crisis lies not in technological fixes like carbon trading or geoengineering, but in a radical shift toward local, organic farming that restores soil health and empowers communities. Drawing on examples from India's Navdanya movement, she shows how regenerative agriculture can capture carbon, feed the world, and challenge corporate control.
