'We will be huggers of trees'



Vandana Shiva, a world-famous environmental activist from India.

Her latest book is entitled "One Earth, One Humanity vs. the 1%". 

She talks about her opposition to big multinationals such as Monsanto for their nefarious influence on agriculture. But Shiva also singles out billionaires like Bill Gates and Mark Zuckerberg for criticism - calling them 'bio-pirates'. 

"When Bill Gates pours money into Africa for feeding the poor in Africa and preventing famine, he’s pushing the failed Green Revolution, he’s pushing chemicals, pushing GMOs, pushing patterns", she tells FRANCE 24's Marc Perelman.
