There are around 100,000 tons of seafood remains (i.e. shrimp shells, crab shells and squid pens) discarded each year. Karsidete Teeranitayatarn successfully turned these waste materials into raw materials for a plant vaccine called Omsin. Karsidete spent nine years developing this innovation. At the beginning, he posed the question: “How can we make Thai farmers stop using chemical substances. How can we persuade them to use natural products, for the sake of their own safety, the consumer’s safety, and the environment’s safety?” Omsin is an organic product that can reduce the use of fertilizers by 50%. Even more exceptional, Omsin is able to create conditions for plants to withstand the force all kinds of harsh weather conditions and even pesky insects!

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBangkok, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBangkok event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Learn more about TEDx at TEDx Talks.
