What if we could eliminate food insecurity in CT? | Caty Poole | TEDxProspect Hill

In this talk, Caty Poole explores how we can reimagine local food systems and centers real stories from community members who struggle to afford and access food. She offers a vision for a food system rooted in sustainability and abundance, one that is people-powered, community-forward, and designed to truly meet human needs. As the innovator behind Caty’s Creations, Caty brings three decades of life sciences experience and a communications degree to her career in food and farming. Her journey began with a passion for equitable food access, which led her to Massaro Community Farm in Woodbridge, CT in 2012. During her 11-year tenure as executive director, she deepened her expertise—from backyard gardening to nutrition, beekeeping, and wild crafting—while establishing farm- based educational programs rooted in her family’s agricultural heritage. She has expanded her knowledge through courses in vegan cooking, herbalism, and wild foraging, earning a Master’s certificate from The Institute of Sustainable Nutrition. In 2024, she became a Master Beekeeper. She transitioned away from her full-time executive role to focus on healthy food access through communal gardening, cooking classes, beekeeping, and wildcrafting. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
