Vandana Shiva Quotes

Farmers can no longer carry the burden of debt, which is inevitable in industrial farming with its high costs of production.
- Vandana Shiva

In every scheme that worsens the position of the poor, it is the poor who are invoked as beneficiaries.
- Vandana Shiva

- Vandana Shiva

- Vandana Shiva

- Vandana Shiva
