TEDxMidAtlantic 2010 - Dickson Despommier - 11/5/10 Dickson D. Despommier is a microbiologist, ecologist and Professor of Public Health in Environmental Health Sciences at Columbia University. Despommier developed the concept of vertical farming in 1999. Vertical farming is a proposed agricultural technique involving large-scale agriculture in urban high-rises or "farmscrapers," which would produce fruit, vegetables, edible mushrooms and algae year-round.

The video for Banjo by Chad Lee (a song off his Sidewalks and Trains album) has an authentic feel, as if it were shot on a friend's farm on a day off from working the fields. Which is not to say the band is unprofessional, the band plays well with great energy and presence. The cast of the farm fable were caricatures of American farm life, bare foot, with overalls in tatters; the cast was a lovable rag-tag bunch of hillbillies. The song and the video tell a timely story that many people in America face of being pushed out of an old way of life in the interest of urban sprawl and overpriced condos. Despite the big bad banks and developers (In traditional suits and sunglasses) the video has a cheerful tone. The power of the Banjo reins supreme as Granny uses it as a weapon, forgoing the shotgun and picking up the banjo. There is a reference to the often spoofed, Dueling Banjos in the first ten seconds is clever, yet the song could have used even more banjos visually. The video, while not without its good points, may need to put some of the production team out to pasture. The cuts between shots lose most visual impact they would have had by being far too quick, and the angles chosen for some of the shots are baffling, as they do not flatter anyone in the band. With a friendly lead singer, and a cast of expressive and strange characters, this home grown, countrified music video ends up being rather entertaining.

Leopard Injures Eight People in East Indian Village For more news visit ? english.ntdtv.com Follow us on Twitter ? http Add us on Facebook ? facebook.com Eight people are injured in eastern India after a leopard wandered into their village. The cat has yet to be caught, but elephants have been brought in to assist. A leopard strayed into a village in the Indian state of West Bengal on Monday. Eight people were injured as villagers and forest guards tried to tame the wild cat. The leopard sneaked into the fields close by the forest in the Siliguri district of West Bengal and attacked a farm owner and his wife. [Sinazul Islam, Local Villager]: "Eight people have been injured as far as we can tell. Five from the forest department and three villagers. The owner of the field and his wife, who had come to the field to work, were the first to be attacked by the leopard." Villagers and forest guards with rifles are trying to catch the leopard, which is still at large. [Niranjita Mitra, Assistant Wildlife Warden]: "We are trying to capture it but it hides in the betel leaves field." Mitra says they brought in two elephants from an adjacent wildlife sanctuary to get closer to the leopard and try to tranquillize it. Man-animal conflicts triggered by rapid urbanization are on the increase. Wild animals like leopards, tigers and elephants often stray into human settlements, sometimes causing havoc. India's Environment Minister has recently issued new guidelines on dealing with the complex issue of man-animal conflict. From: NTDTV Views: 98 1 ratings Time: 01:27 More in News & Politics

(Earth Focus: Episode 29) With soaring food prices, a growing population and a changing climate, how will we feed the world? In this episode of Earth Focus, we look at both low and high tech solutions - from treadle pumps and urban farming, to genetically modified animals and mega farms. In the developing world, simple solutions help farmers grow and sell more food thereby helping reduce hunger and poverty. In the industrialized world, high tech solutions are often controversial and raise ethical concerns. We're producing more food than ever, but one child still dies every six seconds from undernourishment. One in six people are hungry, mostly in the developing world. If we have so much food, why is there hunger? There are many reasons. Poverty is a key factor. People need land to grow food, or income to purchase it, and many have neither. One and a half billion people in the world live on less than $1.25 a day and already spend up to 80% of their income on food. For them, a slight uptick in food prices can be a matter of life and death. And because food prices are linked to volatile fuel prices, the prospect of hunger for those living on the brink is greater than ever. Population growth and climate change makes things worse. In 40 years, there will be three billion more mouths to feed on this planet, while climate change brings more droughts and floods affecting our ability to grow food. But things can change. Focusing on boosting the productivity of small farmers and in providing them better access to markets is an approach that builds food security while reducing poverty. Learn more about global food issues, and find out what you can do.

Danielle Nierenberg, co-director of the Worldwatch Institute's Nourishing the Planet project, travelled to 25 countries in Sub-Saharan Africa to find out what really works in helping meet the food needs of the world's poor. Her insights are part of the Institute's 2011 State of the World Report. She explores farming initiatives in urban slums and looks at simple solutions to prevent waste and spoilage of food. Sithembile Ndeme of FANRPAN (Food, Agriculture and Natural Resources Policy Analysis Network) shows how theater is empowering women farmers and helping get their voices heard in policymaking and business. Edward Mukiibi of Project DISC in Uganda shows how his project to promote school gardens is taking off, changing young people's attitudes toward agriculture and helping nurture a new generation of African farmers.
