Initiated by Dr. Vandana Shiva, and compiled and edited by The Global Peace Initiative of Women (GPIW). Dr. Shiva is a world-renowned environmental leader and the recipient of the Right Livelihood Award. She is the author of several bestselling books, including Earth Democracy, and is a leader and board member of the International Forum on Globalization. GPIW is an interreligious organization that seeks to bring spiritual resources to aid in addressing critical global issues. The basis of their work is the dynamic expression of unity, emerging from the heart of wisdom of the world's spiritual traditions, and our own hearts, into a new story for the human community. An essential part of this shift is the coming into a sacred relationship with the Earth and all the living forces of the universe.
"A reverence for our ancient seeds is essential to our very
survival. Sacred Seed explains in beautiful detail how and why we
must protect them." --Ed Begley Jr., actor, environmentalist
"If life is sacred, then we cannot treat other organisms as if they
are cars or computers, we must act with humility, respect and love.
This book provides a powerful perspective to temper our unseemly
rush to engineer everything within the biosphere." --David Suzuki,
author, The Sacred Seed
"The ecological and spiritual ramification of the genetic
modification of seeds is the concern of this collection of
interfaith writings. . . . More than an essay collection, this is a
call for worldwide action." --Publishers Weekly
"This interfaith chorus calls for the preservation of living seeds
and biodiversity, and the liberation of nature from the killing
grip of corporate control. Beautifully conceived, written, and
illustrated, this book of spirit and truth reminds us to cherish
and protect life." -- Donna Seaman, Booklist
