There is a point where I completely agree with Vandana Shiva. I think it is fantastic that she is so true to her culture and roots, I commend her. I could not do it today, but I was not raise to view life and leisure the same way she has. My views on clothing differ greatly, but as do most women's views.
Anyways where I feel we are similar.... I agree on her views to keep the natural species growing in their natural environment and where it is better to use natural varieties rather than bio-engineered varieties. For example, I know their are engineering soybeans to create a larger harvest in a shorter time, but I feel creating all these "designer" plant genes are only setting us up for failure. It would be like creating a human who never got sick, its just weird!
Also about the non-native species, we are already have issues with non-native species haven't we learned its just not a good idea, LOL. For example, kudzo that stuff takes over like crazy, snake fish they are a tremendous problem in many water ways, non native snakes in the everglades, and teague in south Florida, ALL invasive accidently introduced non-native species....
