How to broker peace by partnering with your most unlikely adversary

Leah Garcés: A lesson in turning adversaries into allies · 13:39 · Video: TED · Watch at the source

In short: When faced with deep-seated opposition, how do you move from conflict to collaboration? Animal rights activist Leah Garcés shares her experience navigating a high-stakes negotiation to end factory farming.

The video explores the practical dynamics of brokering peace when two parties are on opposite sides of a significant issue. Rather than pursuing traditional confrontation, Garcés recounts how she hatched an ambitious plan to address chicken factory farming by working directly with the very people who run it: chicken farmers.

It serves as a case study in finding common ground and identifying shared goals that can bridge ideological divides. By engaging with her most unexpected ally, Garcés illustrates how cooperation can be achieved even when starting from a position of fundamental disagreement.
