Dan Miller discusses the possibility of using hydrogels in agriculture. With a non-toxic formulation, they work by capturing water and fertilizer near the root of the plant, rather than letting it drain away into the earth. This idea is especially relevant in a world that is facing a growing food crisis due to climate change. TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences.

NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, RU-vid's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, RU-vid.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
