How food can shape our cities?!

Another TED post! i know, i know... We all know i love these TED videos...

Every day, in a city the size of London, 30 million meals are served. But where does all the food come from? Architect Carolyn Steel discusses the daily miracle of feeding a city, and shows how ancient food routes shaped the modern world.


Carolyn is pretty monotone throughout her presentation, but if you can watch the video in its entirety there is some pretty interesting bits in there.
