Roger Doiron gives a TEDx talk

This TEDx talk makes me so proud of one Roger Doiron, Kitchen Gardeners International, and my own decision to farm.  I learned about Roger and his part-time project in 2008 when I was working on my community garden Master's thesis.  He had already performed a financial analysis of the costs and benefits associated with planting and growing an edible garden.  Since then, he and his organization successfully influenced the White House to plant its own kitchen garden and he went from part-time organizer to full-time leader.  I'd like to share with you the video of his recent talk, which happens to very eloquently explain why I decided to farm, too.
