Humans have profoundly impacted the planet, ushering in the Anthropocene. Ivo Kennedy explores urban agriculture's vital role in society and individual lives. He investigates how systems, from large-scale hydroponics to community gardens, can reinvent agriculture and foster nature appreciation, even within cities.

Amid environmental crisis, Kennedy, a public health graduate student, reflects on his love for both nature and vibrant city life. He considers how urban agriculture can transform gray skylines into green spaces, helping achieve environmental sustainability in energy-demanding cityscapes. This talk was given at a TEDx event.
