Title:
ChocoVivo: 本当のチョコレート /Chocovivo: The Story of Real Chocolate

About Talks:
古代には非常に貴重で神聖な飲み物であったチョコレートの現代の在り方に 疑問を抱いたパトリシア・サイ。彼女のチョコレートは、生産加工の透明性の高い農家と直接契約を結び、石臼を用いた古代の製法によって作り出される。パトリシアは、真のチ­ョコレート伝道師として、カカオ豆が、過酷な児童労働を背景に大量生産・消費される現代に警鐘を鳴らし、持続可能なチョコレートのあり方を提唱する。

"Patricia Tsai began to question the present chocolate culture after learning about its history: it was a valuable and sacred drink in ancient times.
The chocolate made in her shop uses ingredients purchased from farmers with transparency in their production process, and her creation method involves stone-grinding as in ancient times.
Working as a messenger of ""real chocolate"", Patricia warns us of the mass production/mass consumption model reliant on cacao beans that are made using child labor, and calls for a more sustainable chocolate culture. (85words Tomiki)"

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.)

About TED
TED is a nonprofit organization devoted to Ideas Worth Spreading. Started as a four-day conference in California 26 years ago, TED has grown to support those world-changing ideas with multiple initiatives. At TED, the world's leading thinkers and doers are asked to give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes. Talks are then made available, free, at TED.com. TED speakers have included Bill Gates, Jane Goodall, Elizabeth Gilbert, Sir Richard Branson, Benoit Mandelbrot, Philippe Starck, Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Isabel Allende and former UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Two major TED events are held each year: The TED Conference takes place every spring in Long Beach, California (along with a parallel conference, TEDActive, in Palm Springs), and TEDGlobal is held each summer in Edinburgh, Scotland.

TED's media initiatives include TED.com, where new TEDTalks are posted daily; the new TED Conversations, enabling broad conversations among TED fans; and the Open Translation Project, which provides subtitles and interactive transcripts as well as the ability for any TEDTalk to be translated by volunteers worldwide.

TED has established the annual TED Prize, where exceptional individuals with a wish to change the world are given the opportunity to put their wishes into action; TEDx, which offers individuals or groups a way to host local, self-organized events around the world; and the TED Fellows program, helping world-changing innovators from around the globe to become part of the TED community and, with its help, amplify the impact of their remarkable projects and activities.
