We are all connected.

Vandana Shiva is one of the world's most powerful voices for
global environmental justice and cultural and ecological diversity.

She is the founding director of the Research
Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology
in New Delhi. Vandana Shiva is also the author of
numerous books including Stolen Harvest:
The Hijacking of the Global Food Supply.
Series: "Walter H. Capps Center Series" [8/2004]

I had the honor of hearing this Lady speak in a meeting
of activists for anti-nuclear plants. She is beyond
eloquent.

There are strong women of Light in our midst.

What would you think about asking June to move this to the Conscious living forum. I am thinking that the people who would be most interested in this thread are people who would have an interest (and frequent) that forum.

Everytime I am looking for this thread I always look there...that is where I got this thinking from.

Not trying to tell you what to do, I am just thinking that food is a great topic and that maybe we would reach more people to participate there?

Just a thought!

I think its an excellent idea and agree

[Greco]

Dapper, I think your idea of a discussion thread on the Conscious living forum is a good one. I've started a discussion thread there for us to share our ideas, concerns, and most importantly solutions.

This thread will remain a thread for the sharing of documentaries on food, and related issues. No discussion necessary here. My intention is to have a library of sorts for these documentaries. Thinking harder is what these documentaries are all about, hence its location.

Thanks for your suggestion DapperButch.

I think this is fairly new.

In 1973, British economist E.F. Schumacher wrote “Small is Beautiful – Economics as if People Mattered”, – a book that offered a vision of an economy driven by a desire for harmony, not greed; an economy based on community and ecological values, not global financial derivatives. In the 1970s, “Small is Beautiful” helped launch a back-to-the-land movement that is the ancestor to the Local Food Revolution of today.

For the last three decades, the E.F. Schumacher Society has transformed Schumacher’s ideas into a series of practical innovations – reinventing much of the local economy of Great Barrington, Massachusetts and southern Berkshire County in the process.

Chris Bedford’s 37 minutes film, COMING HOME: E.F. Schumacher and the Reinvention of the Local Economy tells the story of the Society’s remarkable work that includes founding of the nation’s first CSA, economic development based on Community Land Trusts, and the creation of the nation’s most successful local currency – BerkShares.

This seems an excellent site with many documentaries on food,
and people taking action. Thanks for posting it Sachita.
