The UK atomic gardening movement: Sarah Angliss at TEDxSouthamptonUniversity

Sarah Angliss recounts Muriel Howorth's extraordinary attempts of to solve global hunger by producing giant, mutant vegetables during the 1950s. Muriel's story has great relevance to our current relationships with technology and the role of women in shaping and applying it.

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)

Its like painting by thriwing paint at the canvace.

NOW in 2021 we have the tecknology: the brush

We could have frusits and berrys that faste like candy but remain helthy.
We could have glowing apples, we can even genetically modify humans with super strength, gills, big smort Brian and more

Just a lack of funding i guess :/

[ligmaballs]

Can we just genetically modigt frusits to the point where they faste like candy but are still healthy?
