She is one of the most prominent radical scientists and environmental activists in the world,
with a storied record of opposition to biotechnology, genetic engineering, and other advances resulting from corporate-led globalization. Trained as a physicist at the University of Punjab, she did her Ph.D. work at the University of Western Ontario. Dr. Shiva
later shifted to interdisciplinary research in science, technology, and environmental policy, which she pursued at the Indian Institute of Science and the Indian Institute of Management in Banglahore, India. In 1982, she founded an independent institute —
the Research Foundation for Science, Technology and Ecology in Dehra Dun — dedicated to the study of ecology and social issues. The Foundation has made a practice of partnering with local communities and social movements. In 1991, she founded Navdanya, a national
movement especially concerned about the protection of native seeds and the promotion of organic farming and fair trade. This initiative has resulted in the establishment of sixty seed banks. In 2004, she started Bija Vidyapeeth, an international college for
sustainable living in Doon Valley, in collaboration with Schumacher College, UK. She is a board member of the International Forum on Globalization. In 1993, she received the Alternative Nobel Peace Prize (the Right Livelihood Award).</span></span></div><div> </div><div><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; ">Dr. Shiva’s more than two dozen books include the following:</span></span></div><ul><li><span style="font-size:16px;"><span style="font-family: 'times new roman', times, serif; "><em>Seed Sovereignty, Food Security: Women in the Vanguard of the Fight against GMOs and Corporate Agriculture
