Seeds of Freedom

摘要

The Gaia Foundation has just launched a trailer for the film Seeds of Freedom, to be launched in early 2012. The film explores the history of the corporate takeover of seed, and the impact that this is having on communities across the world. The loss of indigenous seed goes hand-in-hand with the loss of biodiversity, the loss of cultural traditions and practices, the loss of livelihoods and the loss of independence in agriculture. The film features interviews with interna-tionally acclaimed ecological activist Dr Vandana Shiva, and Dr Melaku Worede, renowned for his work towards restoring Ethiopia's seed diversity.
