Vandana Shiva is a phycisist and a winner of the alternative Nobel prize. Twenty years ago, she set up her Navdanya foundation and an experimental farm where the foundation collects and secures local varieties, sows them and passes on the seed to farmers. That way, farmers don't need to get into debt buying expensive seed, pesticides or chemical fertilizers. Navdanya sells its product to members of the foundation at home and exports them under the Fair trade label to Germany and other countries.
