La Crosse, Wisconsin, USA: “India has emerged as the capital of hunger, because 70 percent of Indian children are severely malnourished. Organic farming is the solution to this hunger,” Dr. Vandana Shiva, an Indian expert of world repute on issues of the environment, women’s rights and international affairs, said. She was the keynote speaker at the largest organic farming conference held here on February 27.

Dr. Vandana Shiva — a Time magazine environmental hero — flew from Delhi to La Crosse, Wisconsin, on February 27 to present the keynote presentation — “Agriculture for Life” — at the United State’s largest organic farming conference, hosted by the Midwest Organic and Sustainable Education Service (MOSES). Approximately 2,750 organic farmers attended.

Audrey Arner, president of MOSES Board, who introduced Dr. Shiva at the conference, Said: “I find that when I’m trying to get a little more intellect and verbiage wrapped around an idea I’m trying to express, I learn that Dr. Vandana Shiva has written a book about that very thing. She affirms what we know in our guts but maybe haven’t been able to express well. Because of this, we become more empowered.”............click for more
