In January the Glynwood Institute for Sustainable Food and Farming sponsored a one-day TEDxManhattan event titled "Changing the Way We Eat." The event focused on food—and specifically how we can inspire change towards a more sustainable, local approach to producing and eating food. Earlier this week, the entire day of talks and presentations from leading innovators in the industry (including our own executive vice president, Mitchell Davis!) became available on DVD. The TEDxManhattan DVD is free for noncommercial, educational purposes and can be ordered by emailing TEDxManhattan@gmail.com. The individual talks can also be viewed online.     

The speakers and presenters for this inspiring TEDxManhattan event were:
