Just who is Vandana Shiva? How has one woman managed to have such a profound impact on the debate around agriculture, food, farming and bio-engineering? How did she become Monsanto's worst nightmare?

The Seeds of Vandana Shiva explores the story of this extraordinary woman: agriculturalist, quantum physicist, activist and social justice icon, how she stood up to the corporate Goliaths of industrial agriculture, rose to prominence in the seed saving and organic food movements, and now is inspiring an international movement for change.

This event is being held in partnership with THE LONG TABLE who will be offering a pre-screening delicious meal, Long Table style.

Introduced by Cllr  Robin Drury-Layfield, the evening will include a panel discussion with special guests chaired by visual artist Ritu Sood.

Join us for an evening of food, friendship and lively conversation.
