We are pleased to announce that Navdanya will be attending The United Nations Conference on Climate Change (COP21) in Paris for a collective response to the issues that define 2015 as the year of Soil: the Soil crisis, the Agriculture crisis, the climate Crisis, and the Refugee crisis.
We at Navdanya see, in care for the Soil and the Earth through ecological agriculture, solutions to the multifaceted crisis we face.
Humanity stands at the edge of an abyss. We have destroyed the planet, its biodiversity, water and the climate, and through this destruction, the ecological context for our survival as a species.
Ecological destruction and resource grab are generating conflicts, which are being accelerated into full blown wars and violence.A context of fear and hate is overtaking the human imagination.
We need to sow the seeds of peace – peace with the earth and each other, and in so doing, create hope for our future – as one humanity and as part of one Earth community.

Gardens of Hope – sowing the seeds of change for a new Earth Democracy
Leaders in defense of life and of our Planet, Mother Earth, will gather at La Villette in Paris and plant a ‘Garden of Hope’ as a reminder that our seeds, our soils and our biodiversity, kept in the hands of local farmers and caring citizens, are solutions to climate change, to which Industrial globalised agriculture makes a significant contribution. Our Seed Freedom and Food Freedom are the keystones to a prosperous and secure future for our Earth and for humanity.
As Earth citizens, we will launch a Pact with the Earth and with each other to defend our commons – our seeds, soil, water, biodiversity, air and climate systems – essential to building climatic resilience, and to affirm that in ecological organic agriculture and local food systems lie the answers to the food, nutrition and health crisis, water and climate crisis, and the creation of millions of climate refugees.
