Earth Democracy connects people in circles of care, cooperation, and compassion instead of dividing them through competition and conflict, fear and hatred.
Vandana Shiva
We must occupy the food system to create food democracy.
Vandana Shiva
The occupation of America (and Columbus's arrival quite clearly was an occupation, no one can deny that) meant that the entire history of the Native Americans was rendered invisible. The land could only be occupied if it was first defined as empty. So it was defined as a wilderness, even though it had been used by native people for millennia.
Vandana Shiva
We are in a strange kind of time, where the kind of liberation movements such as anti-apartheid movements and freedom struggles in India need to be reinvented. We need to retool them so that all the gains that our generation has made can be passed on to future generations.

Vandana Shiva
In India, crossbreeding programs aimed at mimicking the milk yields of Western cows like the Jerseys and the Holsteins actually breed out the capacity of our animals to pull ploughs and pulley-cars. So, thanks to cross-breeding programs, we now have humpless cattle with no stamina.
Vandana Shiva
In traditional agriculture, the soil is the mother. She's the mother who gives, to whom you must give back.
Vandana Shiva
The environmental movement can only survive if it becomes a justice movement. As a pure environmental movement, it will either die, or it will survive as a corporate 'greenwash'. Anyone who's a sincere environmentalist can't stand that role.
Vandana Shiva
It is from the Himalayan forests and ecosystems that I learned most of what I know about ecology.
Vandana Shiva
Patriarchy is based on appropriating rights and leaving responsibility to others.
Vandana Shiva
The abuse of the Earth is the ecological crisis.
Vandana Shiva
democracy ... begins from the ground up. Anything living grows from the bottom up. Everything dangerous, like bombs, gets dropped from the sky down.
Vandana Shiva
Biotech and geo engineering have the same mindset, of engineering, of power, of control, of mastery of nature.
Vandana Shiva
Nature shrinks as capital grows. The growth of the market cannot solve the very crisis it creates.
