How the Humane Sausage Gets Made: Maisie Greenawalt at TEDxManhattan 2013

Maisie Greenawalt is vice president of strategy for Bon Appetit Management Company, which provides from-scratch food service to corporations, universities, and museums in 32 states. She's been instrumental in shaping the company's many pioneering commitments to social and environmental responsibility. In 1999, she helped develop the Farm to Fork program, a groundbreaking company-wide initiative to buy locally, and has since worked on policies addressing antibiotics in meat production, cage-free eggs, climate change, farmworker rights, and more. Here, she tells how a large corporation like Bon Appetit decides to tackle animal welfare issues, and what specific challenges it faces in meeting its aggressive deadline of 2015 to end all purchases of pork raised without gestation crates.

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
