Vandana Shiva on Hunger: Beyond Agricultural Inputs to Sustainability

The video discusses the paradox of hunger in agricultural communities, particularly in third world countries, where high-cost chemical farming leads to monocultures and reduced local nutrition. It argues for local food production over international trade of staples, highlighting how food has been used as a tool for control. The potential of local food production in Africa and India is emphasized, along with the need for sustainable practices and the recognition of food as a human right. The impact of market speculation on food prices and availability is also addressed.
