Dr Shiva is the woman behind the movement Navdanya, a network of seed keepers and organic producers spreading across 16 states in India. The movement taught 500 000 farmers how to produce food organically, sustainably, preserving crop biodiversity. It has created awareness on the dangers of genetic engineering, defended ancient Indian plants (like neem, basmati and haldi) from biopiracy- from the likes of Monsanto which is in a mad rush of patenting seeds and other food sources in order to control the world's food supply.
