- Ron Finley is a horticultural artist and social impact evangelist who passionately preaches the gospel of taking back your health, learning how to eat and growing your own food. Based out of South Central L.A., The Ron Finley Project seeks to bring a new way of thinking and new opportunities to people in urban communities through gardening. Simply put, he wants everyone to just "grow some shit"!
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)

Gardening is so therapeutic! I love that we are changing the narrative from forced to choice. Earthing in a pace that is unique to the individual is so healing.
His Masterclass is the best
I'm just grateful that another brother than myself understands n shares the message PEOPLE are the commodity people are the value it's in the people
What a smart, charismatic, resourceful and funny guy.
Planted tomato, lettuce, kale, chilli, passionfruit, avocado, sage, basil, coriander, lavender, parsley to start in my front yard, so when they are big enough my neighbours can benefit too. This is just a start, thanks to you
What will you do with the lavender, Kym?
@@sw8415 make some lavender tea or some little bags for under my pillow to help me sleep.
You must also try to plant Tamil vegetables from India like vendika, avarakka & katrika. Very nutritious 😊
"growing your own food is like printing your own money" totally agree :)
100% I grew 47 bell pepper plants from 2 bell peppers seeds. Only about 30 of them made it but still ive had bell peppers for a while now and they can go from 50 cents to 1 dollar at the store each.
Love what he does.
This is so important to teach and tutor.
Stunning and powerful sir - thank you for your work. I grow my own food too and share it far and wide!
Thank you Brother Ron! Your urban garden is art that can be eaten and bring grief therapy! God Bless you!
how well spoken, this guy rocks fr
OMG MORE PEOPLE NEED TO SEE THIS VIDEO!!
I like the story about the kid who had the moment with you about the sunflower because it captures the power of what you started. Also repurposing vacant lots is a form of OCCUPYING. I will bet it makes a significant contribution to community safety!
My my my this is Powerful
Be Healthy Eat Healthy Live Healthy. Putting People First. Moral responsibility to start your idea. The Nation has to Move Forward.
Can’t wait to plant my squash babies tomorrow morning! God bless you and Thank You for your guidance!!!
Brilliant!!
All we have to do as individuals is stop feeding the "beast system" and it will starve and rot away.
Spend your time everyday doing positive things and don't fall into the fear paradigm that they want you trapped in.
Your mind is the prison and you have the key to unlock the door.
Peace and blessings....
14:35 Woman is fast asleep, why go to a talk, if you aint gonna pay attention!? Ron Finley, what you're doing is awesome, great, very inspiring, hope this project takes off, into the mutha stratosphere!

Farms Lands and Plan Jobwell done Mr Finely i am with you. Ron Finley Project.
"People first, not profits." Yes!
MY HERO!
Cool, and in LA he can grow year round. I'm stuck in the snow country, so we have to use greenhouses and cold frames. But it's worth it.
whisperingsage
I feel your pain..😎

I wish I could give a hundred likes!

austin ferris too true 😔 the sad reality is that it's so true living in South central it's sad to see our people struggle to eat healthy
Conor MacGillycuddy ikr the truth is we need this to help us see the truth in that the truth is to get rid of obesity the truth tells us to plant our own plants and grow our own food and that's the only truth the people in south central need to hear
Powerful presentation. Truth spoken!!!
Amazing story. Wonder who taught him the love an skill of growing things.
it inspires me to make a farmer's market.

1:39 sad thing about used chairs: most likely are being sold because the people that owned them are dead now. :(
Backyard chickens!!!
You can't grow hot Cheetos.
Dude you amazing Africa needs you I am coming to you
Keep Hope Alive as Jesse Would Say.
9:27 Sounds like he says "and it's subversive"? Take the power back people.
Lol wow only 28k views on something so informative
The original one has over 1 million! Needs about 200 million though that's a damn shame
He is doing amazing work. He should be told that food doesnt grow all over the world. Some places simply does not have good soil, enough water or enough sunlight. Nice fantasy though... thinking that his city plan will succeed all over the world. In reality it wont. Still, I tip my hat at this man. he is a visionary...
Lack of soil is not what prevents food growth. Small minds at the helm that are unable to be innovative definitely ensures that food doesn't grow. We have too many tools at our disposal to even remotely consider such pessimistic views that you wrote but your point was taken. Thanks!
Food grows were people live. WE need the same thing. You must be taught how to be creative.
Wow. Your mind seems exceedingly small. Expand it some. You’ll find that our world and tha people in it, AND tha land, is capable and abundant. How YOU think, is what they want us to think. I REFUSE!😑
Meh
If kids grow Kale they eat Kale
14:35 pause it. Sleeping? lol And a bored man lol
farmertoad75 too true
maybe i should grow weed.
