The TEDx programs operate at local level giving communities, organizations and individuals a platform to promote their ideas and stimulate dialogue.

One of the speakers is Pam Warhurst cofounder of Incredible Edible, an initiative started in Todmorden, England dedicated to growing food locally by planting on unused land throughout the community, now gone global.
