How did the willful daughter of a Himalayan forest conservator become Monsanto’s worst nightmare? The Seeds of Vandana Shiva tells the remarkable life story of Gandhian eco-activist Dr. Vandana Shiva, how she stood up to the corporate Goliaths of industrial agriculture, rose to prominence in the seed saving and organic food movements, and is inspiring an international crusade for change

The Seeds of Vandana Shiva focuses on the people, circumstances and seminal events in Vandana’s life—what shaped her thinking and defined her purpose. It also shows how the battle against multinational agribusiness has become an international struggle between two visions for feeding the world: The first, a multinational corporate model of chemically dependent monoculture that rewards a capitalist imperative of profit and growth. And the other, ‘Earth Democracy, that honors ecology, biodiversity, sustainability and community—what Dr. Shiva demonstrates is the only way forward for the future of food.

The Farm Collaborative and Seed Peace have joined forces with a vision of a Roaring Fork Valley thriving with regenerative farms where innovative young farmers can find equitable jobs to grow and expand the availability of health giving food to the community. Farm Collaborative and Seed Peace are collectively catalyzing the regenerative agriculture movement by engaging youth and adults in agriculture while training and supporting beginning farmers through research and farming demonstration. The organizations operate at two campus’s one located on historic Sunfire Ranch in Carbondale and the other on Aspen City owned Cozy Point Ranch.
