Bravo to Ron Finley. Although guerilla gardening may not be legal in some spaces, it is an excellent remedy for a dire situation. This is also an opportunity for an organization to step in demonstrate Corporate Shared Value (CSV), and perhaps work through the legal aspects and taking the concept to a larger scale. CSV is a business concept that focuses on creating economic value while also addressing societal needs and challenges. CSV integrates social and environmental considerations, with the aim to generate long-term sustainability and competitive advantage by aligning business goals with societal interests.

With so many post industrial towns now on their 2nd and 3rd iteration of regeneration being done to them, what next? Ex-Shipbuilding communities like mine in Port Glasgow that became an electronics town, until it became cheaper to manufacture in China, we became a call centre town, a service town, till it was cheaper to offshore to India or use AI and chatbots. There are so many Ex-towns, with a proud heritage in shipbuilding, coal, steel and textiles that are waiting to be something again. The Industrial Revolution was driven by business, the Digital Revolution was driven by business, the Sustainability Revolution needs to be driven by business and by communities Love this 🥕💪 🤲

Sustainable agriculture holds the key to ensuring not only long-lasting positive health outcomes but also empowerment over our destinies. Clean water and food are fundamental necessities for human survival, and it's heartening to witness individuals like Ron Finley taking significant strides to address food security issues, especially in one of the world's largest food deserts, which are surprisingly right here in America. Farming lies at the core of sustainability, embodying invaluable knowledge cultivated by farmers. In today's world, where the integrity of our food supply chain and the nutritional value of our food are increasingly compromised, understanding how to grow our food is paramount. Farmers possess one of the most vital skill sets in any community, and acquiring these skills is indispensable. However, as communities trend towards urbanization, access to arable land diminishes, often falling prey to conglomerates. This is where the fusion of traditional farming wisdom with technology becomes crucial. Hydroponic farming, for instance, offers a solution by requiring smaller footprints yet yielding higher outputs, making agriculture accessible even in urban environments. In Africa, we are equally committed to mitigating food insecurity through the ZimFarm Project | For Women’s Empowerment. We are committed to promoting organic farming, permaculture, and the integration of technology to bolster food production techniques that women can utilize in rural or urban environments to build self-sufficiency and entrepreneurship. It's about empowering individuals with the tools and knowledge to take charge of their food security and build resilient communities. 🌱 Embracing Sustainable Agriculture for Healthier Communities 🌱 Kudos to Ron Finley and others championing sustainable agriculture initiatives. Let's continue to cultivate a future where everyone has access to nutritious, locally-grown food. #africa #usa #sustainability #agriculture #whatinspiresme #leadership #farming #nonprofit TED Conferences
