In her inspiring New Year's message, Vandana Shiva explains that while we face many crises–the crises of war and violence, of hunger and destruction, and of the destruction of our democracy–we also hold the solution to all of these crises.

The solutions, she says, can be found in the seed and in the soil.

Where will those solutions not be found?

They won't be found by granting corporations rights that should belong only to human beings.

Her advice for 2015: "We must stay united. We must stay strong. We must stay joyful."
