Navdanya International
Navdanya and the Navdanya movement were created by Dr. Vandana Shiva 30 years ago in India to defend Seed and Food sovereignty and small farmers around the world. Navdanya pioneered the movement of seed saving and seed freedom, which began in response to the crisis of erosion of agricultural biodiversity and the introduction of GMOs and patents on seeds through intellectual property rights (IPRs) and so-called ‘free trade’ agreements. It has long fought against biopiracy, the patenting of indigenous knowledge by self-interested multinational corporations, and won cases related to Neem, basmati rice, and wheat in India.
Navdanya promotes a new agricultural and economic paradigm, a culture of food for health, where ecological responsibility and economic justice replace the present greed, consumerism, and competition that have become dominant in society. It aims at regaining the common good as a foundation for a renewed sense of community, solidarity, and a culture of peace. Through its Earth Democracy project, Navdanya International works to promote a new vision for Planetary Citizenship, an alternative worldview rooted in caring and compassion for the Earth and Society, where ecological responsibility and economic justice, based on the Law of Return, are central to creating a livable future for humanity.
THE POWER OF FLOWERS IS HIDDEN IN THEIR BEAUTY AND SIZE
FLOR DE LA PAZ is a 100 % organic and sustainable agricultural model that creates dignified employment. Their agricultural communities heal the soil with the most advanced organic production techniques, respecting all their plants’ life cycles, no exceptions allowed.
100% of the profits from product sales go to the development and proliferation of FLOR DE LA PAZ FOUNDATION, which does not depend on donations. Instead, it generates employment and promotes a healthy agricultural culture, contributing to education, and health in the countryside and marginalized areas of Mexico.
FLOR DE LA PAZ strives to create and spread knowledge derived from the respectful and kind relationship of humans with their environment. They seek to inspire. To make this world a better place. To sow their seeds

Regenerative Systems
Use Complete Fertility
(Excerpts from Growing Life by Dr. André Leu, D.Sc., BA Com., Grad Dip Ed.)
Regenerative farms generally avoid many nutrient deficiencies because they get the fertility they need from the decay of plant and animal residue that bioaccumulates minerals in the right proportion.
However, because of climate variations and soil types, some soils can be grossly deficient in some minerals, which are difficult to correct by recycling organic matter through cover crops, compost, etc.
For example, it is not easy to maintain sufficient levels of boron in heavy rainfall areas. This explains why certain crops or trees don’t grow well in some areas.
Heavy clay soils are usually constantly deficient in potassium. Adding more potassium (K) alone doesn’t help, as it settles in the clay platelets. The solution is to add more calcium, which breaks up the clay platelets, releasing the potassium and improving the soil texture, making potassium bioavailable.
Microbiome Complexities
Human and soil microbiomes have similar complexities. When toxic chemicals contaminate the microbiome, they lose the ability to absorb nutrients because toxins either compete with the nutrients or damage the pathways for absorption.
Glyphosate in the soil and fluoride in drinking water are good examples. Toxic Legacy by Stephanie Seneff, PhD reveals the massive harm from glyphosate. FAN (Fluoride Action Network) and FFA (Fluoride Free Australia) expose how fluoride added to drinking water or food hinders the uptake and production of iodine, contributing to many ailments such as lower IQ, obesity, depression, dry skin, bone loss, hypertension, heart disease, and cancer to name a few. It is no wonder that thyroid disease is an epidemic in fluoridated areas. Drug companies love this because it provides them with a medical financial bonanza. Create the problem, cause a reaction, and then offer the solution!
When doing hair analyses, I noticed many farmers had high levels of manganese. No one could figure out where it was coming from. Then, I read that glyphosate prevents the body from absorbing manganese, among other minerals. This could explain the high levels in their hair, indicating that it was bio-unavailable.
Agriculture chemicals damage or destroy the gut and soil’s microbiome. The gut is our second brain, with more nerves than the brain. The gut microbiome controls 80% of the body’s immunity. Do not destroy it with drugs!
Deficiencies, toxicities, or trauma cause disease. If you want to get well, address the cause(s). To maintain good health and longevity and produce and raise healthy children, always remember that good nutrition begins in the soil.
