Incredible Edible!

37,234 views
Pam Warhurst had an idea to make a kinder, more aware, stronger community: plant every available meter of public land with fruits and vegetables. Food, she explains in this TED talk, is a "unifying language that cuts across age and income and culture." Using locally produced food as the tool, the Incredible Edible program has radically transformed her English town -- and later, many towns around the world. "This is a revolution," she explains. "It is an experiment and we are volunteers."

Thank you dear and blessings

All wonderful .. until the part where she mentioned about growing fish and bees. Couldn't we inspire a more compassionate, plant-based and economically-viable future? I mean, feeding the fish with precious grains that could well be fed directly to plenty more human mouths (no matter how small the scale this is operating at) hardly seems economically sensible or environmentally sustainable. But hey, i am happy with small steps in the generally right direction too. Kudos!
