TEDxYYC - Kris Vester - Curriculum

Kris Vester discusses "Curriculum" at TEDxYYC 2011. Kris is a Germanicist and Classicist by education, a Humanist thinker, writer, and visionary by nature and a proud peasant farmer by choice. Having abandoned an academic career path in 1998, he now runs a 160 acre, certified organic, biodynamic, highly diversified farm near Carstairs, Alberta. Blue Mountain Biodynamic Farms produces grain and forage both for sale and for on-farm use and meat products, herbs and vegetables for retail stores, restaurants, and home delivery services. In his pursuit of sustainability, he recognizes the importance of combining the inheritance of our collective past (bio-diversity and 10 000 plus years of agricultural experience) with the emerging clean technologies of today and tomorrow. AboutTEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
