Free From War adherents

This message will at first appear to not be related to the avoidance of 
war.  However if we are not avoiding war what should we be doing.   What 
actions can we take that will eclipse the practice of fear mongering 
that the propaganda machine of the empire uses to enable perpetual war.

Please share your thoughtful reflections.

Now, more than ever, is the protection of diversity, biodiversity, Food 
Freedom and Seed Freedom crucial for a future that cares for the Earth.

Now, more than ever, is the protection of diversity, biodiversity, Food 
Freedom and Seed Freedom crucial for a future that cares for the Earth.

Today, we are facing the devastating consequences of the industrial food 
system and its false promises of food security, sustainability and 
climate

There is an urgent need for us to build a movement that responds to 
these threats, which are being promoted as solutions through a well 
orchestrated greenwashing propaganda campaign.

At a time when global lawmakers are pushing new technologies that will 
only further entrench the consequences of the industrial paradigm, it is 
vital to listen to the diversity of voices 
<https://navdanyainternational.org/?nltr=NjE7MTIyNDA7aHR0cHM6Ly9uYXZkYW55YWludGVybmF0aW9uYWwub3JnL3ZvaWNlcy1vZi1kaXZlcnNpdHktdmlkZW8vOztjYzNjNGY0NjQ2OTU3YTgxNDE4Y2E4ZTU3ZTMwYzZmNg%3D%3D> 
already practicing an ecological way of life. Voices that are also on 
the frontlines of the destruction caused by industrial agriculture. The 
voices of  women 
<https://navdanyainternational.org/?nltr=NjE7MTIyNDA7aHR0cHM6Ly9uYXZkYW55YWludGVybmF0aW9uYWwub3JnL3B1YmxpY2F0aW9ucy9tYWtpbmctcGVhY2Utd2l0aC10aGUtZWFydGgtYW4tZWNvZmVtaW5pc3QtbWFuaWZlc3RvLzs7NjUyNjk1ZmY1MTI0YjZhYmJhMzJlMzNiYzgzNjQ0ZWE%3D>, 
indigenous people, peasants, and small farmers. These voices, based on 
experience, show us the bigger picture and remind us of the solutions we 
already have.

Today more than ever we need the agroecological cultures of the world to 
take the forefront and show us what it means to be rooted in harmony 
with the Earth.

Join us by organizing People’s Assemblies, Events, or Actions to reclaim 
and reshape our food system, in parks, squares, gardens, schools and 
communities – wherever you are to take back our Seed, and Food Freedom.

        A Declaration: Beyond Climate Colonialism and Food Imperialism

by Dr. Vandana Shiva, President of Navdanya International

Mother Earth is a sacred, self organized living being. She creates and 
sustains life. Through her biosphere and complex ecological processes, 
she regulates her water systems, her nutrition cycle, her climate 
system. Over 4 billion years, using the energy of the sun and the power 
of photosynthesis by microbes and the green leaf of plants, she brought 
the temperature of the planet down to where life could thrive, and the 
concentration of CO2 down to pre-industrial levels.

Two hundred years of industrialism, combined with colonization of nature 
and our diverse cultures has destroyed the earth’s ecosystems and 
biosphere. Burning of fossil fuels has polluted the land, water and 
atmosphere, built up emissions, and disrupted the delicate balance of 
the earth’s climate systems and hydrological systems, intensifying 
floods, droughts, and cyclones, causing climate chaos and catastrophes.

Food freedom and Food sovereignty is our birthright.

We will resist the new food imperialism of Fake Food as a false Climate 
Solution.

We will respect and protect the Rights of Mother Earth.

We will heal the Earth and ourselves by growing and eating Real Food, 
Food for Health.
