Let's end world hunger with the straw bale gardens method | Joel Karsten | TEDxEdina
When Joel Karsten invented the straw bale garden method, it transformed backyard hobby gardening for millions. But now, this simple, sustainable, revolutionary method is providing viable solutions to food security and malnutrition challenges around the world--even in conditions of drought, flood, and dense urban areas--with zero outside inputs or investments. Twenty seven years ago, Joel Karsten, a landscape designer with a BS in Horticultural Science from the University of MN, pioneered a method of growing vegetables in bales of straw. Joel has now written four best selling books which have been translated into many languages, and has traveled extensively to spread his method world-wide. Straw Bale Gardening offers real hope for people in some of the poorest places in earth to grow their own food in conditions where it has never before been possible. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
