The Nature of Nature

All of us who care about Planet Earth must be grateful to Vandana Shiva. Her voice is powerful and she is not afraid to tackle those corporate giants that are polluting, degrading and ultimately destroying the natural world.—Jane Goodall, UN Messenger of PeaceVandana Shiva’s pioneering efforts on how a GMO and fossil-fuel based petrochemical agricultural system has wreaked havoc on our species’ global food chain and undermined ecosystems around the world – has touched off a global conversation on rethinking our approach to feeding our species. She has single handedly drawn several generations into pioneering regenerative agriculture and the restoration of ecosystems, particularly in the developing countries. Her new book, The Nature of Nature: the Metabolic Disorder of Climate Change makes the incontrovertible connections between a global warming climate and an outmoded agricultural system and guides our species into a more ecologically sensitive approach to provisioning food by treating nature as a shared commons for all of life on earth.—Jeremy RifkinVandana’s is a clear, indefatigable voice of outstanding intellect and compassion, of deliberate and compelling outrage in our planetary crisis, and a privilege to know and learn from in my lifetime.—Marilyn Waring
