TEDx Talks | Even produce has beauty standards | Vanessa Williamson | TEDxFargo @TEDx | Uploaded 1 day ago | Updated 1 day ago
Food. We love it. We eat it. So why do we waste it just when it looks a little outside the normal? Exploring ugly food and its impact on our food systems. Vanessa Williamson, hailing from Eastern North Dakota, found her entrepreneurial spirit at Montana State University while studying Business and Marketing. Collaborating with her co-founder, another Vanessa, in the Farm to Market course sparked their delicious venture, Farmented Foods. Her passion for creating value-added products from "ugly" farm-fresh produce was ignited by the enthusiastic support of local farmers. Inspired by the potential to tackle food waste and promote sustainability, she leaped into the world of small-businesshood with the goal of making a significant impact on the food industry, one ugly vegetable at a time. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx
