Hog Factory Farm

If you're in or around New York City on June 16th, please join TEDxManhattan 2015 speakers Kendra Kimbirauskas and Michele Merkel at our Change Food Facing Factory Farms Salon to discuss how we can combat factory farms. Kendra and Michele will show their talks and discuss the realities behind factory farms and explore the disconnect between the "good food" movement and the farm crisis in rural America.

More importantly, we will be using the salon as a template that others can replicate. We want to encourage key people, like you, to put on local gatherings and events using videos from the Change Food Video Library. How would you host such an event? How can we use these educational videos in the Change Food Library to raise awareness across the country and world? 

 

This salon is interactive so please come armed with ideas and suggestions on how we can educate the urban food movement and activate more people around factory farm issues?

 

There are only a few spots left so please sign up and get your ticket here!

 

What is the biggest problem with the Food System? - Diane Hatz

We are in the process of launching  Quickbites ,  a video series featuring short snippets from key people in the food movement who answer questions relevant to today's food system. We are encouraging everyone to spread them through so cial media channels so we can use them as quick educational tools. 

 

We're sorry to say, though a bit excited too, that TEDxManhattan has been retired. After 6 years and 5 amazing events, both TED and licensee Diane Hatz agreed that TEDxManhattan had become so successful it had gone beyond the boundaries of the TEDx program. Change Food events are not and will not be affiliate with TED or TEDx. You can see the official announcement here. 

 

Though we are sad to see it go, we are ecstatic about all the opportunities headed our way. We will fill you in on details about new projects as soon as we can.
