1) This video speak about the life of Vandana Shiva. For her, there is no separation between life and nature. She studied in a Himalayan forest. At a young age, she wanted to understand how the world worked. This is why she has a doctorate in quantum theory foundations. Later, she wrote a book "Violences of the green revolution". She has traveled a lot and has realized that certain industries like Mosanto wanted to control the seeds and produce GMOs. These industries are committed to doubling farmers' yields. But for her, GMOs don't produce more and will starve people. She says we have enough innovation and technology to produce more without using GMOs. Farmers must turn to organic farming.

2) • seat* / seed* / scene
  • patenting* / pathetic
  • you compete for* / you can’t wait for governments
  • A GMO forced on people / IBM fostering people*
  •  would starve*
  • the disconnect between big size / big science and big poverty*
  • the law lady* – the low lady – the little old lady from India
