THE BIOTECH REVOLUTION – Visions Of The Future – BBC
Genetics and biotechnology promise a future of unprecedented health and longevity: DNA screening could prevent many diseases, gene therapy could cure them and, thanks to lab-grown organs, the human body could be repaired as easily as a car, with spare parts readily available. Ultimately, the ageing process itself could be slowed down or even halted.

Jamie Oliver – Teach every child about food – Documentary, Lecture, Talk (Health Food) – TED awards
Sharing powerful stories from his anti-obesity project in Huntington, W. Va., TED Prize winner Jamie Oliver makes the case for an all-out assault on our ignorance of food. He wants every child to be educated about food from an early age, so they can form healthy eating habits, preventing obesity, diabetes, heart disease.
He also aims to educate adults as to what their children are eating and drinking at school, food with little or no nutritional content which does not sufficiently energize or stimulate them for concentration, learning, and development.

GMO Foods and Intellectual Property: The Ultimate Food Fight
Imagine. In the not-so-distant future, any person, family, farmer or any other type of food grower in the world will have to get permission to plant each seed. We will have to pay a mandatory royalty to one of a handful of multi-national corporations that are in the process of filing patents on all the seeds on our planet. I repeat, a MANDATORY royalty. There will be no safety net. This is not science fiction. The process began several years ago, quietly.

As the world begins to digest the implications of intellectual property for online censorship, another IP issue threatens an even more fundamental part of our daily lives: our food supply. Backed by legal precedent and armed with seemingly inexhaustible lobbying funds, a handful of multinationals are attempting to use patents on life itself to monopolize the biosphere.

This upload is intended as educational and not commercial.
Watch this 84 minutes documentary where several environmental activists like Vandana Shiva, Maude Barlow, Medha Patkar and Rajendra Singh explain why we are facing the biggest crisis of our times, and how large corporations and global institutions such as the World Bank are behind this.
How Did A Handful Of Corporations Steal Our Water? Water is the very essence of life, sustaining every being on the planet. ‘FLOW’ confronts the disturbing reality that our crucial resource is dwindling and greed just may be the cause.
Irena Salina’s award-winning documentary investigation into what experts label the most important political and environmental issue of the 21st Century — The World Water Crisis. Salina builds a case against the growing privatization of the world’s dwindling fresh water supply with an unflinching focus on politics, pollution, human rights, and the emergence of a domineering world water cartel.
Interviews with scientists and activists intelligently reveal the rapidly building crisis, at both the global and human scale, and the film introduces many of the governmental and corporate culprits behind the water grab, while begging the question “CAN ANYONE REALLY OWN WATER?”
Beyond identifying the problem, FLOW also gives viewers a look at the people and institutions providing practical solutions to the water crisis and those developing new technologies, which are fast becoming blueprints for a successful global and economic turnaround.

Vandana Shiva – Biography
Vandana Shiva, a 46-year-old physicist, philosopher and feminist, was born in the city of Dehra Dun, located at the bottom of the Himalayas. She is known as one of most eloquent speakers who help fight for people’s rights. She holds a master’s degree in particle physics and in 1978 completed her Ph.D. in the philosophy of science. She is active in citizens’ action against environmental destruction, including the Chipko Movement. She also directs a seed conservation project, and is part of the Indian National Environmental Council. She supported the grassroot networks all across India. She is directing an international movement on Food Rights.
She was not the only one who was of a help to community. Her grandfather went on a hunger strike just to build a college for girls and her mother inspected this college, making sure it was running normally. She became very successful working at this college and soon met a husband while there. Being successful didn’t mean anything to her so her husband left her with a child.
In 1993, She won the prestigious right livelihood award for her work with national and international environment organizations. This was an award in ecology that had been given since 1980. She also established Navdanya (a movement for biodiversity conservation and farmers’ rights in India.) In 1982 she created a research foundation for science, technology and ecology where they worked on biodiversity conservations and protecting peoples’ rights from threats to their lives and environment by centralized systems of monoculture in forestry, agriculture and fisheries. In 1988 she represented an environmental group at the People’s Tribunal concerning the World Bank and IMF. She was a member of the 1991 World Congress on Women and Environment.
