When: May 30, 2017 – 7:30pm – 9:30pm

Join Brock University, University of Toronto, and University of Waterloo for “RE:Generation: Sowing Seeds of Resistance” with Dr. Vandana Shiva. As a living example of building the world we want, Navdanya Institute has trained over 1 million farmers in organic practices, and is building distribution networks, seed banks and village institutions to register local and indigenous knowledge. Each seed saved and planted is not simply a metaphor for resistance, it is a way forward in the struggle to shift from destructive, consumptive economies to regenerative economies.

Across continents, efforts to build Regenerative Economies are sowing the seeds of resistance. Modern-era movements for transformation are taking root, built on 500 years of challenging oppression. Dr. Vandana Shiva presents 30 years of Navdanya Institute’s research initiatives. Hear stories of communities re-claiming seed sovereignty, re-building the commons, and regenerating local knowledge. Dr. Shiva will discuss Navdanya’s model in the context of the challenges we face in our times.
