Why donate? The interviews will document perseverance and the possibility that we can build climate-resilient communities when we transition away from toxic industrial farming and move toward a sustainable and regenerative future. Your sponsorship will support and honor the quiet revolution of women changemakers from diverse communities of India and beyond.  Quite simply, it is urgent to advance the message that ecological farm & food systems are essential for the continued survival of our planet and people. 

This series of interviews will be filmed in Dehradun, India, at the March 2023 international gathering, Diverse Women for Diversity (DWD), hosted by the well-known activist and author Dr. Vandana Shiva at her  Navdanya Biodiversity and Research Farm. DWD is a program founded a few decades ago by Dr. Vandana Shiva to empower and highlight women who honor our soil, air, water, biodiversity, and one another by saving and breeding seeds and farming without toxic inputs.

Women around the world, particularly in the Global South are building regenerative and ecological food and farm systems that both reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and better ensure food security for their communities.  Today, our global industrial agriculture is responsible for at least 30 percent of the GHGs now devasting our planet.  More awareness is needed among politicians, the media, opinion leaders, and even civil society around the reality that HOW we grow our food determines our climate and food future.  Diverse Women for Diversity: Voices of Resilience will highlight such efforts.

Thank you for considering sponsorship of Diverse Women for Diversity: Voices of Resilience.
