Neal Carter is president and founder of Okanagan Specialty Fruits trade; (OSF), a biotechnology company specializing in the creation of novel tree fruit varieties. For nearly 30 years Neal has worked with numerous crops as a bioresource engineer around the globe and it was through this firsthand experience that Neal was persuaded that biotechnology can help agriculture meet ever-expanding global food demands and challenges. Carter #39;s goal is to develop safe, high-quality tree fruit cultivars that provide growers, processors, wholesalers, retailers, food service and consumers with improvements in quality and productivity. For TEDxPenticton 2012, "Agricultural biotechnology: saving lives, building communities and feeding the planet into the next century." In thespirit 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)From:TEDxTalksViews:254 19ratingsTime:12:51More inScience Technology
