Not until diversity is made the logic of production will there be a chance for sustainability, justice and peace. Cultivating and conserving diversity is no luxury in our times: it is a survival imperative.”
      Vandana Shiva

  43. alonsotwm says:

    On our planet there is enough for everyone’s needs but there is for those who want too. If you eat more than you need are stealing from someone else.

    These words belong to one of the most committed to the environment today. Unlike many other intellectuals of paper, Vandana, is, above all, a woman who carries the commitment in their day to day and leader of many social movements.

    Born in India in 1952 and is a theoretical physicist, pacifist and follower of Gandhi. Was chosen as the Alternative Nobel Prize in 1993 and is also a source of inspiration for many who do not conform to the world what the big corporations choose to make.

    He has written widely on ecofeminism, defending democracy in the land (a concept defined by it) and actively fight against it are a few multinational companies that dominate world food production.

    Defender of the local and self-sufficiency, Vandana instructs us on the destructive effects of neoliberal capitalism and globalization exclusively economic.

    She is the author of numerous articles and books, our library staff should have committed this intellectual and inspiring. These are some of his books:

    * Harvest stolen, large companies try to monopolize the world food production, with a devastating effect on local communities in developing countries, the quality of the food we eat and the environment. This is the first I read it and still I have on my wish list for a second reading
    * Biopiracy: the plunder of nature and knowledge shows in detail how the big corporations, exploiting the current definition of intellectual property, are taking over the genetic heritage of the seeds that have evolved naturally, with this pillaging biological removed biodiversity is essential to maintain an environment in balance.
    * Manifesto for a democracy of the land, here, Vandana shows how the dispossession of land and privatization of natural resources is related to poverty, fundamentalism and violence.

    Vandana is a woman full of light and hope through their work a little better understand how this world in which we live, with its complexities, problems and hopes.

    Vandana Shiva (en escritura hindi: वंदना शिवा; Dehradun, 5 de noviembre de 1952) es una científica, filósofa y escritora India. Activista en favor del ecofeminismo, recibió el Premio Nobel Alternativo en 1993.
    Shiva nació en Dehradun, Uttaranchal, antiguamente parte del estado indio de Uttar Pradesh, de padre que guardabosques y madre granjera, amante de la naturaleza. Se educó en la Escuela Santa María en Nainital, y en el Convento de Jesús y María, de Dehradun.1 Durante los años 70 participó en el movimiento Chipko, formado principalmente por mujeres que adoptaron la táctica de denuncia ecologista consistente en permanecer abrazadas a los árboles para evitar que fueran talados.

    Obtuvo la licenciatura en Física y luego una maestría en Filosofía de la ciencia, en la Universidad de Guelph (Ontario, Canadá), con la tesis titulada “Los cambios en el concepto de periodicidad de la luz”. En 1979, recibió el doctorado en Filosofía, en la Universidad Ontario Occidental; presentó una tesis sobre las bases filosóficas de la mecánica cuántica, titulada “Variables ocultas y localidad en la teoría cuántica”.2 Más tarde , se dedicó a la investigación interdisciplinaria sobre ciencia, tecnología y política ambiental.

    En 1982 creó la Fundación para la Investigación Científica, Tecnológica y Ecológica, la cual cuenta entre sus iniciativas el impulso y difusión de la agricultura ecológica (programa Navdanya), el estudio y mantenimiento de la biodiversidad (Universidad de las semillas, Colegio Internacional para la Vida Sostenible), fomentar el compromiso de las mujeres con el movimiento ecologista (Mujeres Diversas por la Diversidad), o la regeneración del sentimiento democrático (Movimiento Democracia Viva).

    En 1993, en reconocimiento a su dedicación a los movimientos alternativos y “… por situar a la mujer y a la ecología en el corazón del discurso moderno sobre el desarrollo”, recibió el Premio al Sustento Bien Ganado, también conocido como el Premio Nobel Alternativo. Otros premios que ha recibido son el Global 500 de 1993 del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (UNEP) y el premio internacional del Día de la Tierra, también de las Naciones Unidas.

    Actualmente es una líder del Foro Internacional sobre la Globalización, así como un miembro destacado del movimiento antiglobalización. En su libro reciente Manifiesto por una democracia de la tierra ha propuesto el concepto y la causa de la democracia de la tierra como alternativa al capitalismo.
