Baltimore's Urban Soil: Cheryl Carmona at TEDxBaltimore 2014

Cheryl works to promote sustainable agriculture at the Boone Street Urban Farm and Community Garden in East Baltimore's Midway neighborhood. She is a graduate student at the University of Maryland, and a grantee of the Open Society Institute Baltimore Community Fellowship award.

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)
