About.

Navdanya is a movement for Earth Democracy based on the philosophy of 'Vasudhaiv Kutumbakam' (The Earth as one Family). We protect India's biodiversity based food heritage through Bija Swaraj, Ann Swaraj, Bhu Swaraj and Gyan Swaraj.

Through 'Bija Swaraj' we have created 122 Community Seed Banks in 18 states of India and Bhutan. We distributed the seeds of hope to the farmers after disasters like Odisha Super Cyclone, Tsunami, Floods in Uttarakhand, Phailin in Odisha and Nepal earthquake disaster.

Through 'Anna Swaraj' we help farmers and consumers through awareness of benefits of local, fresh organic nutritious food and training and harm to the health from Chemicals which are destroying biodiversity, trapping farmers into the debt and suicides and spreading diseases epidemics in society. Our new campaign on Food Smart Cities connects the City to the country side through healthy and safe food.

Through 'Bhu Swaraj' we are committed to protecting the living Soil - our mother Earth, our identity, the basis of our lives and our livelihoods. We keep our soil healthy and fertile through organic and agroecological practices. We are also committed to keeping our mother earth free from hazardous agrichemicals that not only pollute but also destroy the soil food web, the very basis of soil health.
