A New Fix for Food Safety: Don Stull at TEDxTexasTechUniversity

The United States wastes as much as 40 percent of its food due to spoilage and suffers through 76 million cases of food-borne illness every year. Don speaks about how to solve these important issues by eliminating pathogens and extending food shelf life to reduce waste. By extending shelf life and solving food insecurity, the human condition would be improved, not just in the U.S., but in foreign nations where food and pure water are scarce and help is hard to provide. Don speaks about patented technology developed in conjunction with Texas Tech University that kills dangerous pathogens and has been proven to extend shelf life of food products.

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)
