In an era of extreme social, political, and religious polarization, healthy communities are vital. Utilizing community empowerment and development principles through agriculture can foster sustainability.

Buddy Walker, called to international missions at 16, developed extensive experience in disaster relief, mission coordination, and sustainable community development partnerships. His agricultural expertise, including soil science and micro-intensive farming, culminated in the 2012 establishment of the Empower School & Farm in Umatilla, Florida.

This residential program trains individuals in Christian discipleship, micro-enterprise, sustainable agriculture, and world missions. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

On March 15, 2019, 1.5 million people globally participated in the School Strike for Climate. In this talk, 12-year-old climate activist and songwriter Lucy Gray makes a compelling argument for climate justice as humanity's path forward. She discovered her passion in 2017, subsequently forming a climate action group at her school.

When international strikes reached New Zealand, Lucy led the Christchurch strike and founded its local SS4C group. She now co-convenes the national School Strike for Climate NZ team, a student-led initiative urging urgent government action. Lucy also channels her passion into music, performing her song "Rise Up" at events to inspire change. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Dr. Walker explains how fundamental physical sciences, like chemistry and physics, are often limited to Earth's "normal" conditions of temperature, pressure, and gravity. As civilization prepares for space, this terrestrial focus is no longer adequate.

His presentation advocates for expanding our approach to scientific research, aiming to unlock entirely new areas of study and foster creativity beyond Earth's environment.

Dr. Martin Walker, Professor and Chair of Chemistry at SUNY Potsdam, delivered this talk at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
