April 1, 2010
WIU guest speaker Dr. Vandana Shiva drew a large crowd of FIG members to her talk last night in the Grand Ballroom of the University Union. Entitled, “Sustainability and the Global Food Crisis,” her talk addressed a variety of themes that are important to FIG such as corporate control of farm land, seed varieties, water supplies, and anti-democratic influence over agricultural policies. Shiva spoke about the importance of local food systems under community control as a safe-guard for future food security.
