One particular spark was when I went back to my favorite spot in the mountains where my father always used to take us before my graduate studies in Canada and finding that the stream I had gone swimming in wasnt there. The forest had been converted into an apple orchard with World Bank financing. The entire place, literally, had changed.
Vandana Shiva

Water must be free for sustenance needs. Since nature gives water to us free of cost, buying and selling it for profit violates our inherent right to nature's gift and denies the poor of their human rights.
Vandana Shiva
We have managed to make the celebration of diversity our mode of resistance.
Vandana Shiva
It is only with local [agriculture] that we can manage the complexity and care that sustainability requires.
Vandana Shiva
