Vandana Shiva uses her growing influence to champion the cause of the peasants in India. She descibes how their knowledge is taken away, their seeds and soil poisoned, and their local economies destroyed by multinational seed corporations. The small farmers, she reports, are fighting back and establishing zones that are free of genetically modified seeds and chemicals.
