Kevin Cotter explains the importance of local food. What you put in your saucepan and where you take your shopping basket is important. People like being talked to, instead of being beeped at by machines that just take your money. Visit your local farmer, discover the power of your children harvesting leeks and the power of the puddle!

This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at http://ted.com/tedx
