En savoir plus sur le livre

In "Soil Not Oil," Vandana Shiva explores the connection between industrial agriculture and climate change, advocating for a shift away from fossil fuel dependence and globalization. She criticizes industrial agriculture as a pathway to ecological and economic disaster, championing small, independent farms for their higher productivity, potential for social justice, and inherent biodiversity. Shiva emphasizes the urgent need for sustainable, biologically diverse farms that can withstand climate challenges such as disease, drought, and floods. She succinctly states that "the solution to climate change and the solution to poverty are the same." Highlighting her organization, Navdanya, which is celebrated for its environmentally friendly practices, she outlines principles for feeding the planet in a socially just and ecologically sound manner. Shiva broadens her perspective to address globalization and climate change, asserting that a healthy environment and social justice are interconnected. Her vision promotes self-organization, sustainability, and community over corporate interests. A renowned environmental leader, Shiva has authored several influential books and edited works on the future of food and seed.
