ok so would suggest sending the original doc (https://www.weplanet.org/ngtopenletter) to La Via Campesina <via-info-en@viacampesina.org> Vandana Shiva email I don't have, her organisation is Navdanya u could try https://navdanyainternational.org/contact-us/ Link to your substack article/response too as that's all relevant & your response is as usual very eloquent! You could also try Permaculture Magazine maddy@permaculture.co.uk and Landworkers' Alliance <info@landworkersalliance.org.uk>
