TED Talks

Have you ever heard of TED Talks? We love them and we’ll be sharing plenty of our ‘best of’s’ on this blog, following a monthly theme!

TEDs are basically short videos recorded at events all over the world by people of note. Bill Gates has done TED Talks. Bono has done TED Talks. Scientists have done TED Talks. Entertainers have done TED Talks.

They are fun videos, not boring lectures or documentaries. They can make you laugh or cry, but mostly they make you think and wonder.

Download and watch on your MP3 or phone on the bus, waiting in a line, or during quiet times when there’s nothing on TV.

This month, we’re featuring TEDs that talk about sustainability in the food we eat. Here’s 3 of our faves to get you started:

• Jamie Oliver on a sustainable food movement


• Barton Seaver on the dilemma of sustainable seafood


• Birke Baehr on what’s wrong with our food system (coming from Birke at the tender age of 9 years old, it’s pretty amazing)!t
