Gathering Perspective: Shared Wisdom on Food Justice
Is our work to help create a fair, healthy, green and affordable food system effective? Is there a strategy for working toward a just and equitable food system that would have a greater impact? We asked the Class VII fellows to interview someone who they respect in the food movement and ask some of these big picture questions. The result is a series of remarkable interviews, most in text and some on video, that have brilliant thinkers espousing on the food and justice movement.
The short clip is an excerpt from an interview I did with Dr. Vandana Shiva at the Peoples’ World Water Forum in New Delhi, India. Dr. Vandana Shiva is physicist, eco-activist, and author. Writing on topics of biodiversity and the sustainable agriculture, her publications include Water Wars; Privatization, Pollution, and Profit, and Manifestos on the Future of Food and Seed.
