Abstract

We all know what a farm looks like. It’s happy cows, happy chickens, happy farmers, and little red barns dotting the green countryside. The nostalgic image persists, although those farms of our imagination are disappearing. Award-winning journalist and TED Senior Fellow Will Potter will speak about his 10-year investigation into factory farming, and how the most powerful industries on the planet are outlawing journalism and censoring research to keep consumers in the dark.
