Daniel Klein: Farmer Suicide, GMOs and Seed Saving

Daniel Klein: Farmer Suicide, GMOs and Seed Saving



On our recent trip to India, we got a wake up call from environmental activist Dr. Vandana Shiva on the reality of these issues and how they can impact farmers to the point of suicide (270,000 farmers have killed themselves in the last 15 years). We spent some time with the famed activist and the head seed saver of her organization (Navdanya), Bija Devi.

They are a passionate pair and we tried to accurately represent their points of view. We think this is an important subject, and we hope you can take the time to listen to what they have to say, and investigate more.
