Aquaponics - a global food solution: Tracy Van Veen at TEDxSquamishWomen

As an Aquaponic Educator with University of the Nations, Tracy shares her ideas on how aquaponic growing techniques can improve our access to locally grown, healthy and sustainable food sources. Tracy pushes us to imagine how sharing our knowledge and resources can empower developing countries to enhance their own food supply through co-op and micro-enterprise opportunities while still stabilizing our own local food security. This talk was selected as part of TEDxWomen live event titled "invented here".


In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
