Navdanya

Navdanya is a network of seed keepers and organic producers spread across 16 states in India.

Navdanya has helped set up 54 community seed banks across the country, trained over 500,000 farmers in seed sovereignty, food sovereignty and sustainable agriculture over the past two decades, and helped setup the largest direct marketing, fair trade organic network in the country.

Navdanya has also set up a learning center, Bija Vidyapeeth (School of the Seed) on its biodiversity conservation and organic farm in Doon Valley, Uttranchal, north India.

Navdanya is actively involved in the rejuvenation of indigenous knowledge and culture. It has created awareness on the hazards of genetic engineering, defended people's knowledge from biopiracy and food rights in the face of globalisation and climate change.

Navdanya is a women centred movement for the protection of biological and cultural diversity.

Climate Change at the Third Pole

The entire world is shocked with the recent disaster of flooding and landslides in Leh on 7th of August where hundreds of people lost their lives and thousands of people have become homeless. Navdanya has worked with communities in Ladakh on the increasing climate related disasters threatening the survival of communities who have lived sustainably over centuries. The entire Navdanya family is with the people of Leh, and with the communities with whom we have been working. Navdanya in its recent publication on "Climate Change at the Third Pole: The impact of Climate Instability on Himalayan Ecosystem and Himalayan Communities" had already mentioned about such disasters in the Himalaya.
