Navdanya’s biodiversity efforts in India 

Climate change and biodiversity

The problem is not fossil carbon but its increasing use as coal, oil and gas Before the industry revolution there were few tons of carbon in the atmosphere but now it is much larger, as the result of the burning of fossil fuels, causing a big problem in the climate so it is necessary to solve this problem if we want to live. Biodiversity has as an alternative to fossil carbon. For example, instead of chemical fertilizers which uses oil, we have nitrogen and biomass fixing legumes recycled by earthworms or microorganisms. Instead of chemical dyes, we have vegetable dyes. Instead of the car, we have the the bicycle in order not to affect the environment. We also need to create ecosystems and economies to adapt to an unpredictable climate and create a carbon democracy for everyone to have their fair share of carbon useful. The Navdanya / RFSTE association defends the collective rights of farmers in the context of climate change. Thanks to the actions of citizens who have contributed to the defense of farmers' rights, indigenous knowledge and biodiversity. In my country there is diversity of food among them is the Sacha inchi, tara, aguaje, maca and huanarpo male, these Peruvian products are prey of the  commercial biopiracy. Biopiracy is the unauthorized and non-compensated access and use of biological resources or traditional knowledge of indigenous peoples.
