Roger Doiron: My subversive (garden) plot | Video on TED.com

A vegetable garden can do more than save you money — it can save the world. At TEDxDirigo Roger Doiron shows how gardens can re-localize our food and feed our growing population.

Roger Doiron is founding director of Kitchen Gardeners International, a network of people taking a hands-on approach to re-localizing the global food supply. Doiron is an advocate for new policies, technologies, investments, and fresh thinking about the role of gardens. His successful petition to replant a kitchen garden at the White House attracted broad international recognition. He is also a writer, photographer, and public speaker.
