TEDxMadrid - José Luis Hidalgo - TEDxTú:Old food, new stories

Jose Luis Hidalgo shows us a cookie. It represents an ancient Aztec god. And it contains amaranth, a vegetable with contains 18% of proteins. Aztecs believed that to eat those cookies gave them the power of the god. The spanish conquistadores forbade those cookies and the amaranth too. Such a valuable vegetable went lost and forgotten for centuries, but now is back. Humanity enjoyed 7000 different seeds, only 3000 exist- Of those, only 150 have economic impact, 4 of them (rice, corn...) represent 50% of what humanity today eats, and 7 seeds represent 85% of the calories we eat. We , as human species, need to recover a bigger diversity in the things we grow. Jose Luis Hidalgo is a person of the audience whose 3 minutes speech was accepetd to be part of the program (at TEDxMadrid will coll this 3' talk TEDxTú). About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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.)
