Gandhi of the grain

Hailed as the "Gandhi of the grain" social activist, Vandana Shiva has been hailed as the Gandhi of the grain, for her tireless and valiant crusade against the monoculture of genetically modified seeds.

For me, the idea of owning intellectual-property rights for seeds is a bad, pathetic attempt at seed dictatorship,” Shiva says. “Our commitment is to make sure that dictatorship never flourishes.”

An excellent profile of Shiva is here.
