Jennifer Broutin Farah: Redefine your interaction with food

http://inktalks.com Since her childhood days, Jennifer has always been interested in growing her own food and has a vested interested in what actually happens to produce as part of the growing process. Jennifer believes that the benefits seen by small scale high leverage solutions implemented by many can be disruptive when scaled.
