A Seed In Time | Rushka Johnson | TEDxPortElizabethSalon





Whoop!! my TEDx talk. please share the love for seed and earth..



"Rushka Johnson - Environmental Activist

Times and conditions are changing so rapidly
that we must keep our aim constantly focused on the future.
The onus is on each of us to cultivate the change we need, if we are to see ourselves, our
communities and our environment not only survive, but thrive.
Communities are confronted with challenges from all spheres and we need leadership with solutions
by us, for us.
Laws which affect the survival of our environment are being passed and enforced for corporate monopoly, forgetting that we are borrowing this environment from future generations.



The future is taking place with or without us… Will we shape the future or turn a blind eye? an Environmental Activist, Seed Freedom guardian, permaculture enthusiast and organic vegetable farmer.




Head convener for the March Against Monsanto Port Elizabeth for 3 years from 2014, is part of the No GMO South Africa community, Resistance is fertile South Africa, started the Roundup Out campaign in 2016 and organizer for Over Grow the system South Africa 2017.



Currently working on eliminating toxic herbicide from public areas in Port Elizabeth as well as creating awareness on the Seed Laws that are in the process of being passed.

How to get organic food to the masses with Matt Purkis





Inside scoop with the amazing


Matt Purkis from https://www.saoso.org/about-organic-standards



Lots of amazing work happening in South Africa to support organic, small scale farmers. In this interview, listen to what the issues are, how to fix them and what SAOSA are doing to help make it happen.


Inside scoop on that you won't hear any where else.


Why can only the elite afford organic food. Why do the majority live off GMOs and junk food . The stats of obesity, diabetes and cancer in South Africa are off the charts.

The monopoly of our food supply, seeds, farm lands, needs to stop.

How can our people feed themselves healthy wholesome food and make a good living from it. How can we stop this chemical form of agriculture that is destroying our people, diversity, environment and soil?
Here we go. Grass roots. Let's make it happen.
