Su Kahumbu-Stephanou speaks at TEDx Nairobi on September 18th on improving Agriculture and the eating habits of Kenyans. Su founded an organic farm in Tigoni, Kenya dedicated in serving local consumers. Her company, Green Dreams Ltd later went on to market and certify regional organic produce. She has also been involved in empowering small scale organic farmers through providing them with education and markets for their organic products. Her focus is on developing new marketing models for the farmers by challenging the current bias, business and trade regulations that favour big business locally and internationally. About TEDx In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized. (Subject to certain rules and regulations.)
