About [Edit]
Since 1987, Navdanya has been saving seeds, promoting chemical-free organic agriculture, creating awareness on the hazards of genetic engineering, defending people’s knowledge from Biopiracy, and defending people’s food rights and food sovereignty in the face of globalisation.
Navdanya means “nine seeds.” These nine seeds are representative of India’s collective source of food security, connoting a diverse ecological balance at every level - from the ecology of the Earth to the ecology of our bodies.
Navdanya aims at integration. We work from the seed to the table, from the farmers’ fields to the policy in parliaments, ministries and international forums, from the knowledge of our grandmothers and mothers to the future of our children and grandchildren.
Through grassroots conservation efforts, awareness campaigns, and cultural festivals, Navdanya works to protect the rich biodiversity which is the basis of cultural and material sustenance of our people. We believe that biological diversity cannot be conserved on the basis of centralised, globalised and hierarchical programs. Diversity and decentralisation go hand in hand.
