Bioneers

A friend of mine got an email from these guys about a conference, academics get lots of these borderline spam invites, but this seems pretty cool. Here is their spiel:

This award-winning 13-part series of half-hour shows features the “bioneers” – social and scientific innovators with breakthrough solutions for people and planet. Cutting edge – charismatic – provocative – hopeful. These are the ardent voices of our most brilliant visionaries with both feet on the ground. They span the rich arc of human endeavor and practical transformation toward a future environment of hope.

Solutions for people and planet... hopeful... feet on the ground... sounds like community gardening!

Here are a few I found intriguing that have to do with community, food, and farms.
