For a viable and fair food system:
At a TEDx event, 11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food -- far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production.https://www.ted.com/talks/birke_baehr_what_s_wrong_with_our_food_system?language=en (Sweet kid, part of tedX next generation)
