Eco-entrepreneur and TED Fellow Shubhendu Sharma grows ultra-dense, biodiverse mini-forests of native species in city areas by engineering soil, microorganisms and biomass to kickstart natural development processes. Follow along as he explains ways to grow a 100-year-old forest in simply 10 years, and find out how you can get in on this small jungle celebration.
