👁Big data, small farms and a tale of two tomatoes
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English

👣The path to better food is paved with data, says entrepreneur Erin Baumgartner. Drawing from her experience running a farm-to-table business, she outlines her plan to help create a healthier, zero-waste food system that values the quality and taste of small, local farm harvests over factory-farmed produce.

👁Global population growth, box by box
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣The world's population will grow to 9 billion over the next 50 years -- and only by raising the living standards of the poorest can we check population growth. This is the paradoxical answer that Hans Rosling unveils at TED@Cannes using colorful new data display technology (you'll see).

🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣Say hello to the decentralized economy -- the blockchain is about to change everything. In this lucid explainer of the complex (and confusing) technology, Bettina Warburg describes how the blockchain will eliminate the need for centralized institutions like banks or governments to facilitate trade, evolving age-old models of commerce and finance into something far more interesting: a distributed, transparent, autonomous system for exchanging value.

👁What a digital government looks like
🗣Subtitle: Farsi | English | Turkish

👣What if you never had to fill out paperwork again? In Estonia, this is a reality: citizens conduct nearly all public services online, from starting a business to voting from their laptops, thanks to the nation's ambitious post-Soviet digital transformation known as \"e-Estonia.\" One of the program's experts, Anna Piperal, explains the key design principles that power the country's \"e-government\" -- and shows why the rest of the world should follow suit to eradicate outdated bureaucracy and regain citizens' trust.

👁The method that can "prove" almost anything
🧠James A. Smith
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣In 2011, a group of researchers conducted a study designed to find an impossible result. Their study involved real people, truthfully reported data, and commonplace statistical analyses. So how did they do it? The answer lies in a statistical method scientists often use to try to figure out whether their results mean something, or if they're random noise. James A. Smith explores p-hacking. [Directed by Anton Bogaty, narrated by Addison Anderson, music by Salil Bhayani, cAMP Studio].

👁Inside the massive (and unregulated) world of surveillance tech
🧠Sharon Weinberger
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣What is a weapon in the Information Age? From microscopic "smart dust" tracking devices to DNA-tracing tech and advanced facial recognition software, journalist Sharon Weinberger leads a hair-raising tour through the global, unregulated bazaar of privatized mass surveillance. To rein in this growing, multibillion-dollar marketplace that often caters to customers with nefarious intents, Weinberger believes the first step is for governments to classify surveillance tools as dangerous and powerful weapons.

👁Which box do I check?
🧠Mona Chalabi
🗣Subtitle: 🇹🇷Turkish | 🇬🇧English

👣How we identify makes a difference in our lived experiences, but it's not always reflected in the checkboxes we see on forms. In this episode, Mona Chalabi explores why language matters in data collection, and why the categories we use should reflect who we really are. Want to hear more from Mona?
