n a world dominated by greed and competition, speed and restlessness, pollution and ecological destruction, war and violence, Bija Vidyapeeth offers a unique opportunity to explore and practice the art and science of sustainability. Bija Vidyapeeth offers a unique insight into the tenets of sustainability and deep democracy through interactions with the foremost intellectuals and sustainable communities of our times.

Diverse Women for Diversity is a programme of Navdanya. It seeks to herald a global campaign of women on biodiversity, cultural diversity and food security. Diverse Women for Diversity echoes women's voices from the local and grassroots level to global fora and international negotiations. It seeks to strengthen women's grassrots movements and provide women with a common international platform to air their views. Over the years, Diverse Women for Diversity has evolved a non-violent resistance and opposition to globalisation, emergency of genetic engineering and patents on life forms. Women of the world join hands under Diverse Women for Diversity.

Since 1987, Navdanya has been saving seeds, promoting chemical-free organic agriculture, creating awareness on the hazards of genetic engineering, defending people’s knowledge from Biopiracy, and defending people’s food rights and food sovereignty in the face of globalisation.

Navdanya means “nine seeds.” These nine seeds are representative of India’s collective source of food security, connoting a diverse ecological balance at every level - from the ecology of the Earth to the ecology of our bodies.
