Don Bennett shares his journey of personal and community transformation as he tells of a replicable vision and purpose to create a community-based, sustainable urban farm park in the heart of Fayetteville, Arkansas, to address growing problems with food quality, security and sovereignty. Through a farm-raising mentality, Tri Cycle Farms is growing our community from the ground up. 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)
