    "The fossil fuel age gave us speed. This, on the one hand, allows us to think, 'I'm going faster', but it never defines 'faster to where, and to what?' You become a victim of speed -- always trying to catch up with yourself. The climate crisis is a result of chasing speed mindlessly, endlessly. Slow living is mindful; it's caring of the earth and of community. Healing our relationship with the Earth is the most urgent matter of our times. We need to learn from the Earth how to be an intelligent species." - Vandana Shiva, environmental activist and food sovereignty advocate, talks to Manjula Narayan about her latest book, Slow Living; What You Can Do About Climate Change Learn more about your ad choices.

I think everybody should do it."- Arti Dwarkadas, author, Two Bandra Girls Buy a Farm, talks to me about growing varieties of rice, mangoes, tomatoes and more on the patch of land in rural Maharashtra that she and her friend Suzann have been nurturing for the last five years, their Adivasi neighbours' encyclopedic knowledge of plants, the agricultural uses of Google Lens, the wild boar attack that destroyed a whole banana patch, why the future of small farm holdings looks increasingly bleak, and winning friends and influencing people with mithai diplomacy, Learn more about your ad choices.
