Description: NOTE FROM TED: TEDx events are independently organized by volunteers. The guidelines we give TEDx organizers are described in more detail here: storage.ted.com/tedx/manuals/tedx_content_guidelines.pdf How Growing Rice in the Oceans will Change our Future Agriculture suffers from sea-level rise, increased soil salinity, and unsustainable and environmentally damaging farming. With the next world crisis likely to be a battle over fresh water, a lot needs to change in how we grow our food. The co-founders of Alora will discuss how to develop truly sustainable farming systems to preserve our planet and protect our people. Using no freshwater, no chemical fertilizers, and less land, their team is set to build the future of agriculture. Entering university, Luke had a desire to help people and the planet, quickly realizing that the responsibility was with himself. So, he began creating ideas to become that catalyst for change. Believing in a better world, where humanity and nature work in harmony. Graduating from Durham University, Rory wanted to start something new and different. Beginning as a hobby to help Luke make AgriSea into more than an idea, Rory realized this was a dream come true. An opportunity to give the world a brighter future every day. When given that opportunity, he had to grasp it with both hands. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
