The Rise of Women Entrepreneurial Leaders in Agriculture: Marlene Stearns at TEDxFulbright

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. No longer is the woman farmer in Africa, Latin America, or the Caribbean a voiceless peasant. She is determined, knowledgeable, and confidently changing her country's food landscape. The faces of these women are the new faces of agriculture in the world's lesser developed economies.


Fulbright from the US to Senegal, 2002. Entrepreneur, 3Psourcing. Marlene supports women farmers and local food processors to develop their small businesses in a socially responsible way so that they develop their own communities to ensure food security, health, water and land.


About TEDx, x = independently organized event 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)
