Hardtalk speaks to the original tree hugger. The phrase was
coined back in the 1970s when she - along with a group of women
in India - hugged trees to stop them from being chopped down. In
the decades since, Vandana Shiva has become known throughout the
world for her environmental campaigns. She says a billion people
go hungry in the world because of the way greedy international
companies go about their business. So is it a naïve world view or
could we really end poverty and improve everyone's life by
returning to old fashioned ways of farming?
