Imagine想象 you are a part部分
of a crew船員 of astronauts宇航員
0
1658
4442
想像一下你係去火星或者其他遙遠星球
00:18
traveling旅行 to Mars火星 or some distant遙遠 planet星球.
1
6124
3152
嘅其中一個宇航員
00:21
The travel旅行 time could take a year
2
9854
3032
旅程時間可能長達一年
00:24
or even longer.
3
12910
1469
或者甚至更長
00:26
The space空間 on board and the resources資源
4
14836
2937
飛船上嘅空間同資源都受到限制
00:29
would be limited有限.
5
17797
1540
所以你哋就要諗
00:31
So you and the crew船員 would have
to figure out how to produce生產 food食品
6
19361
4587
點樣利用最少嘅原料去生產食物
00:35
with minimal最小 inputs輸入.
7
23972
1459
00:38
What if you could bring with you
just a few幾個 packets of seeds種子,
8
26169
3877
如果你只可以帶幾袋種子
00:42
and grow成長 crops作物 in a matter個問題 of hours小時?
9
30965
3399
喺幾個鐘裏面種出作物,會點?
00:46
And what if those crops作物
would then make more seeds種子,
10
34914
3437
如果嗰啲作物可以生產更多嘅種子
00:50
enabling使 you to feed飼料 the entire整個 crew船員
11
38375
3054
令你可以用其中嘅幾包種子
00:53
with just those few幾個 packets of seeds種子
for the duration時間 of the trip旅行?
12
41453
3762
全程養活整個團隊,又會點?
00:58
Well, the scientists科學家 at NASANasa actually講真
figured out a way to do this.
13
46465
4286
NASA 嘅科學家已經諗到可行嘅方法
01:03
What they came up with
was actually講真 quite都幾 interesting有趣.
14
51546
2643
佢哋嘅諗法非常有趣
其中包括單細胞微生物
01:06
It involved涉及 microorganisms微生物,
15
54213
1896
01:08
which are single-celled單細胞 organisms生物.
16
56133
2090
01:10
And they also used hydrogen from water.
17
58732
2336
科學家同時運用水入面嘅氫氣
01:13
The types類型 of microbes微生物 that they used
were called hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs,
18
61511
4088
佢哋利用嘅微生物係氫營養菌
01:17
and with these hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs,
you can create創建 a virtuous良性 carbon cycle周期
19
65623
5290
你可以利用呢啲氫營養菌創造一個
良性嘅碳循環,維持太空船上嘅生命
01:22
that would sustain維持 life
onboard車載 a spacecraft航天器.
20
70937
2818
01:26
Astronauts宇航員 would breathe呼吸 out
carbon dioxide氧化,
21
74525
3692
宇航員會呼出二氧化碳
01:30
that carbon dioxide氧化 would then
be captured捕獲 by the microbes微生物
22
78241
3801
二氧化碳會畀嗰啲微生物吸收
01:34
and converted轉換 into a nutritious營養,
carbon-rich富碳 crop作物.
23
82066
3555
轉化成一種含有豐富營養同碳嘅作物
01:38
The astronauts宇航員 would then eat
that carbon-rich富碳 crop作物
24
86287
3591
之後宇航員食用嗰啲含豐富碳嘅作物
01:41
and exhale透氣 the carbon out
in the form形式 of carbon dioxide氧化,
25
89902
3990
宇航員會以二氧化碳呼出
01:45
which would then be captured捕獲
by the microbes微生物,
26
93916
2224
又會畀微生物吸收
01:48
to create創建 a nutritious營養 crop作物,
27
96164
1635
生產新嘅營養作物
01:49
which then would be exhaled呼出
in the form形式 of carbon dioxide氧化
28
97823
2895
之後碳又會畀宇航員
以二氧化碳呼出
01:52
by the astronauts宇航員.
29
100742
1410
01:54
So in this way, a closed-loop閉環
carbon cycle周期 is created創建.
30
102176
3002
咁樣就建立咗一個閉環碳循環
01:57
So why is this important重要?
31
105821
1638
點解呢樣嘢咁重要?
02:00
We need carbon to survive生存 as humans人類,
32
108158
2174
我哋人類需要碳生存
02:02
and we get our carbon from food食品.
33
110872
1865
我哋從食物中獲取碳
02:05
On a long space空間 journey旅程,
34
113237
1683
喺漫長嘅太空旅途中
02:06
you simply淨係 wouldn't唔會 be able to pick選擇 up
any carbon along沿 the way,
35
114944
3319
根本就冇可能喺途中搵到碳
02:10
so you'd你會 have to figure out
how to recycle回收 it on board.
36
118287
2935
所以你要諗點樣喺飛船上循環利用碳
02:13
This is a clever solution解決方案, right?
37
121817
2445
呢個係一個聰明嘅方法,係唔係?
02:16
But the thing is, that research研究
didn't really go anywhere地方.
38
124825
3704
但問題係,呢個研究並冇實行過
02:20
We haven't yet尚未 gone to Mars火星.
We haven't yet尚未 gone to another另一個 planet星球.
39
128553
3722
我哋未去過火星,亦未去過其他星球
02:24
And this was actually講真 done
in the '60s and '70s.
40
132299
2638
事實上呢個研究
喺 60、70 年代就已經完成
02:27
So a colleague同事 of mine,
Dr博士. John約翰 Reed蘆葦, and I,
41
135365
3357
所以我同一個同事,John Reed 博士
02:30
were interested興趣, actually講真,
in carbon recycling回收 here on Earth地球.
42
138746
3971
對地球上嘅碳循環好感興趣
02:34
We wanted to come up
with technical技術 solutions解決方案
43
142741
2231
我哋想搵到應對氣候變化嘅
02:36
to address地址 climate氣候 change.
44
144996
1760
技術性解決方法
02:38
And we discovered發現 this research研究
45
146780
2221
通過閱讀 1967 年及以後嘅論文
02:41
by reading閲讀 some papers文件 published發表
in the '60s -- 1967 and later之後 --
46
149025
4410
02:45
articles文章 about this work.
47
153469
2799
我哋發現咗呢個研究
02:48
And we thought it was a really good idea想法.
48
156292
2078
我哋覺得呢個真係一個好主意
02:50
So we said, well, Earth地球
is actually講真 like a spaceship飛船.
49
158774
3064
我哋認為,地球就好似一艘太空船
02:54
We have limited有限 space空間
and limited有限 resources資源,
50
162370
3412
我哋嘅空間、資源都有限
喺地球上,我哋確實需要
02:57
and on Earth地球, we really do
need to figure out
51
165806
2183
03:00
how to recycle回收 our carbon better.
52
168013
1895
思考點樣更有效去循環利用碳
03:03
So we had the idea想法,
53
171202
2147
所以我哋有一個諗法
03:05
can we take some of these
NASA-typenasa-類型 ideas想法 and apply應用 them
54
173373
6750
可唔可以將呢啲 NASA 式嘅主意
用嚟解決地球上嘅碳問題?
03:12
to our carbon problem個問題 here on Earth地球?
55
180147
2765
03:14
Could we cultivate培養
these NASA-typenasa-類型 microbes微生物
56
182936
2632
我哋可唔可以培養呢啲 NASA 式微生物
03:17
in order to make
valuable寶貴 products產品 here on Earth地球?
57
185592
2793
用嚟喺地球上生產有價值嘅物品?
03:21
We started初時 a company公司 to do it.
58
189241
2452
我哋創立咗一間公司嚟研究
03:23
And in that company公司, we discovered發現
that these hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs --
59
191717
4680
喺呢間公司,我哋發現呢啲氫營養菌
03:28
which I'll actually講真 call
nature's自然嘅 supercharged增壓 carbon recyclers回收 --
60
196421
3937
事實上我叫佢哋
大自然嘅「強勁碳循環機」
03:32
we found發現 that they are a powerful強大
class of microbes微生物
61
200382
2819
我哋發現佢哋係一種強大嘅微生物
03:35
that had been largely主要 overlooked忽視
and understudied理解,
62
203225
3828
佢哋畀嚴重忽視、未被深入研究
03:39
and that they could make
some really valuable寶貴 products產品.
63
207077
2705
而且佢哋確實可以生產
一啲有價值嘅產物
03:42
So we began初時 cultivating培養 these products產品,
these microbes微生物, in our lab實驗室.
64
210544
4087
所以我哋開始喺實驗室
培養呢啲產物同微生物
03:47
We found發現 that we can make
essential基本 amino氨基 acids from carbon dioxide氧化
65
215115
3855
我哋發現可以利用呢啲微生物
將二氧化碳合成必需氨基酸
03:50
using使用 these microbes微生物.
66
218994
1465
03:52
And we even made作出 a protein-rich富含蛋白質的 meal
67
220483
3045
我哋甚至可以製作蛋白質營養餐
03:55
that has an amino氨基 acid profile配置文件
similar類似 to what you might可能 find
68
223552
4471
其中嘅必需氨基酸外形
同一啲動物蛋白質嘅氨基酸相似
04:00
in some animal動物 proteins蛋白質.
69
228047
1516
04:02
We began初時 cultivating培養 them even further進一步,
70
230523
2410
我哋開始更進一步培養
04:04
and we found發現 that we can make oil.
71
232957
1917
發現我哋可以生產油
04:06
Oils are used to manufacture製造
many好多 products產品.
72
234898
2451
油可以用嚟大量生產好多產品
04:09
We made作出 an oil that was similar類似
to a citrus柑橘 oil,
73
237738
3333
我哋生產咗一種類似檸檬油嘅油
04:13
which can be used for flavoring調味
and for fragrances香水,
74
241095
3085
除咗可以摞嚟調味、製造香水
04:16
but it also can be used
as a biodegradable生物降解 cleaner清潔
75
244204
2627
佢仲可以摞嚟做生物可降解清潔劑
04:18
or even as a jet射流 fuel燃料.
76
246855
1484
甚至係噴氣燃料
04:21
And we made作出 an oil
that's similar類似 to palm棕櫚 oil.
77
249236
2391
跟住我哋又生產咗一種類似棕櫚油嘅油
04:24
Palm棕櫚 oil is used to manufacture製造
78
252065
1960
棕櫚油可以用嚟生產唔同嘅
04:26
a wide range範圍 of consumer消費者
and industrial工業 goods貨物.
79
254049
3308
消費品同工業品
04:30
We began初時 working工作 with manufacturers廠家
to scale規模 up this technology技術,
80
258873
4742
我哋開始同製造商合作大量生產
04:35
and we're currently目前 working工作 with them
81
263639
1807
依家我哋合作
將其中一啲產品推出市場
04:37
to bring some of these products產品 to market市場.
82
265470
2094
04:40
We believe this type類型 of technology技術
can indeed講真 help us
83
268756
2940
我哋相信呢種技術可以幫助我哋
04:43
profitably盈利 recycle回收 carbon dioxide氧化
into valuable寶貴 products產品 --
84
271720
3350
將二氧化碳有效轉化為有價值嘅產品
04:47
something that's beneficial有益
for the planet星球
85
275777
2038
一啲同時對地球
04:49
but also beneficial有益 for business業務.
86
277839
1734
同商業都有益嘅產品
04:52
That's what we're doing today今日.
87
280383
1818
呢啲就係我哋依家做緊嘅事
04:54
But tomorrow聽日, this type類型 of technology技術
and using使用 these types類型 of microbes微生物
88
282225
4230
但以後,如果我哋要更上一層
呢種技術同呢種微生物嘅應用
04:58
actually講真 could help us
do something even greater
89
286479
2763
會幫助我哋完成一啲更加偉大嘅事
05:01
if we take it to the next level水平.
90
289266
1951
05:04
We believe that this type類型 of technology技術
91
292045
2418
我哋相信呢種技術
05:06
can actually講真 help us address地址
an issue個問題 with agriculture農業
92
294487
3239
可以幫助我哋解決農業問題
05:09
and allow允許 us to create創建
a type類型 of agriculture農業 that's sustainable持續,
93
297750
4525
可以畀我哋發展出一種可持續農業
05:14
that will allow允許 us to scale規模
to meet滿足 the demands要求 of tomorrow聽日.
94
302299
3585
令我哋可以滿足到未來嘅要求
05:18
And why might可能 we need
a sustainable持續 agriculture農業?
95
306585
3045
點解我哋需要一個可持續農業呢?
05:22
Well, actually講真, it is estimated估計
96
310325
2188
事實上,根據預測
到咗 2050 年
05:24
that the population人口 will reach達到
about 10 billion by 2050,
97
312537
5237
世界人口將會達到大概一百億
05:29
and we're projecting投影 that we will need
to increase增加 food食品 production生產
98
317798
3181
我哋預計糧食產量要提高70%
05:33
by 70 percent百分比.
99
321003
1572
05:35
In addition除咗, we will need many好多 more
resources資源 and raw原始 materials材料
100
323182
3238
同時,我哋會需要更多嘅資源、原材料
05:38
to make consumer消費者 goods貨物
and industrial工業 goods貨物.
101
326444
2533
去生產消費品、工業品
咁我哋要點樣滿足呢個需求?
05:41
So how will we scale規模 to meet滿足 that demand需求?
102
329571
2663
05:44
Well, modern現代 agriculture農業 simply淨係 cannot唔可以
sustainably持續 scale規模 to meet滿足 that demand需求.
103
332669
5497
依家嘅現代農業滿足唔到呢個需求
05:50
There are a number數量 of reasons原因 why.
104
338760
2218
原因有好多
05:53
One of them is that modern現代 agriculture農業
is one of the largest最大 emitters排放
105
341309
4836
其中一個就係現代農業
係溫室氣體嘅其中一個最大排放源
05:58
of greenhouse溫室 gases氣體.
106
346169
1581
05:59
In fact事實, it emits發出 more greenhouse溫室 gases氣體
107
347774
3623
事實上,佢溫室氣體嘅排放總量
06:03
than our cars汽車, our trucks貨車, our planes飛機
108
351421
3104
比我哋嘅汽車、貨車、飛機
06:06
and our trains火車 combined聯合.
109
354549
2436
同埋火車嘅排放總量仲要大
06:09
Another另一個 reason原因 is that modern現代 ag
simply淨係 takes up a whole整個 lot of land土地.
110
357009
5516
另一個原因就係佢佔據咗大面積嘅土地
06:14
We have cleared清除 19.4 million square廣場 miles英里
for crops作物 and livestock牲畜.
111
362549
6199
我哋為作物、牲畜騰出咗
一千九百四十萬平方英里
06:21
What does that look like?
112
369446
1648
即係點樣?
06:23
Well, that's roughly大約 the size大小
of South America美國 and Africa非洲 combined聯合.
113
371118
4891
大概就係南美洲同非洲加起嚟咁大
06:29
Let me give you a specific特定 example例子.
114
377041
2259
等我舉一個具體嘅例子
06:31
In Indonesia印尼, an amount
of virgin處女 rainforest雨林 was cleared清除
115
379324
4956
喺印尼,從 2000 年到 2012 年
06:36
totaling共計 the size大小
of approximately大約 Ireland愛爾蘭,
116
384304
3382
大概有同成個愛爾蘭咁大嘅
06:39
between之間 2000 and 2012.
117
387710
2595
原始熱帶雨林畀移除咗
06:42
Just think of all
of the species物種, the diversity多樣性,
118
390717
3206
我哋可以想像到
畀趕離家園嘅物種數量之大
06:45
that was removed刪除 in the process過程,
119
393947
1890
06:47
whether係唔係 plant植物 life, insects昆蟲
or animal動物 life.
120
395861
2687
植物、昆蟲、動物,無一倖免
06:51
And a natural自然 carbon sink下沉
was also removed刪除.
121
399145
2649
同時,一個天然碳匯都難逃一劫
06:54
So let me make this real真正 for you.
122
402437
1986
咁等我講得更加真實一啲
06:56
This clearing結算 happened發生 primarily主要
to make room間房 for palm棕櫚 plantations人工林.
123
404896
3845
呢次移除係為咗種植棕櫚樹
07:01
And as I mentioned提到 before,
124
409399
1375
就好似我之前所講
07:02
palm棕櫚 oil is used
to manufacture製造 many好多 products產品.
125
410798
3549
棕櫚油用於大量生產好多種產品
07:06
In fact事實, it is estimated估計
that over 50 percent百分比 of consumer消費者 products產品
126
414371
3927
事實上,根據估計
超過 50% 嘅消費品都離不開棕櫚油
07:10
are manufactured製造 using使用 palm棕櫚 oil.
127
418322
2389
07:13
And that includes包括 things
like ice cream奶油, cookies餅乾 ...
128
421671
3227
其中包括雪糕、曲奇
07:17
It includes包括 cooking烹飪 oils.
129
425506
1867
仲有食用油
07:19
It also includes包括 detergents洗滌劑,
lotions乳液, soaps肥皂.
130
427397
3538
同埋清潔劑、乳液、肥皂
07:23
You and I both
probably可能 have numerous眾多 items項目
131
431594
4079
好可能你同我嘅廚房、浴室裏面
07:28
in our kitchens廚房 and our bathrooms浴室
132
436395
2501
都有大量嘅由棕櫚油
07:30
that were manufactured製造 using使用 palm棕櫚 oil.
133
438920
2007
製成嘅生活用品
07:33
So you and I are direct直接 beneficiaries受益者
of removed刪除 rainforests熱帶雨林.
134
441450
5215
所以你同我都係
移除熱帶雨林嘅罪魁禍首
07:39
Modern現代 ag has some problems個問題,
135
447691
2089
現代農業存在住一啲問題
07:41
and we need solutions解決方案
if we want to scale規模 sustainably持續.
136
449804
3474
如果想可持續發展
我哋就需要解決方法
07:47
I believe that microbes微生物
can be a part部分 of the answer回答 --
137
455151
4526
我相信微生物可以提供答案
07:51
specifically特別, these supercharged增壓
carbon recyclers回收.
138
459701
3983
特別係呢種強勁嘅碳循環機
07:55
These supercharged增壓 carbon recyclers回收,
139
463708
2522
呢種強勁嘅碳循環機
07:58
like plants植物, serve服務 as
the natural自然 recyclers回收
140
466254
4031
比如植物,喺佢哋成長嘅生態系統中
08:02
in their佢哋 ecosystems生態 where they thrive茁壯成長.
141
470309
2121
扮演著「自然循環機」嘅角色
08:04
And they thrive茁壯成長 in exotic外來 places地方 on Earth地球,
142
472454
2196
佢哋喺地球嘅特殊地貌生長
08:06
like hydrothermal vents通風口 and hot springs彈弓.
143
474674
2451
比如海底熱泉、溫泉
08:09
In those ecosystems生態,
they take carbon and recycle回收 it
144
477543
3263
喺嗰啲生態系統,佢哋吸收碳
將碳再生為生態系統所需嘅營養
08:12
into the nutrients營養 needed需要
for those ecosystems生態.
145
480830
2554
08:15
And they're rich豐富 in nutrients營養,
146
483916
1459
佢哋含有豐富營養
08:17
such as oils and proteins蛋白質,
minerals礦物 and carbohydrates碳水化合物.
147
485399
5205
譬如油脂、蛋白質
礦物質、碳水化合物
08:24
And actually講真, microbes微生物 are already
an integral積分 part部分 of our everyday每日 lives生活.
148
492025
4532
事實上,微生物已經成為
我哋日常生活嘅一部分
08:29
If you enjoy享受 a glass玻璃 of pinot皮诺 noir黑色
on a Friday星期五 night,
149
497335
4207
如果辛苦工作咗一個漫長嘅星期
你喺星期五晚品嘗一杯葡萄酒
08:33
after a long, hard努力 work week,
150
501566
1944
08:35
then you are enjoying享受
a product產品 of microbes微生物.
151
503534
2674
咁其實你就係品嘗緊微生物嘅產物
08:39
If you enjoy享受 a beer啤酒
from your local當地 microbrewery釀酒廠 --
152
507176
2682
如果你品嘗當地小型啤酒廠嘅一種啤酒
08:41
a product產品 of microbes微生物.
153
509882
1620
都係一種微生物嘅產物
08:43
Or bread麵包, or cheese奶酪, or yogurt酸奶.
154
511526
2949
或者係麵包、芝士、酸奶
08:47
These are all products產品 of microbes微生物.
155
515060
2050
呢啲全部都係微生物嘅產物
08:49
But the beauty and power權力 associated相關
with these supercharged增壓 carbon recyclers回收
156
517729
5285
但呢哋強勁碳循環機嘅魅力、力量在於
08:55
lies謊言 in the fact事實 that they can
actually講真 produce生產 in a matter個問題 of hours小時
157
523038
5100
佢哋嘅生產力係數以小時計
09:00
versus months.
158
528162
1326
而唔係以月嚟計算
09:01
That means意味着 we can make crops作物
159
529512
1943
咁就意味著我哋可以
以比依家更快嘅速度去種作物
09:03
much faster更快 than we're making決策 them today今日.
160
531479
3317
09:07
They grow成長 in the dark黑暗,
161
535685
1635
作物可以喺黑暗中生長
09:09
so they can grow成長 in any season賽季
162
537344
2547
即係可以喺任何季節
09:11
and in any geography地理 and any location位置.
163
539915
3220
任何地理環境、任何地方生長
09:15
They can grow成長 in containers容器
that require需要 minimal最小 space空間.
164
543159
3612
佢哋可以喺佔地最小嘅容器生長
09:19
And we can get to a type類型
of vertical垂直 agriculture農業.
165
547562
3954
咁我哋就可以開發一種垂直農業
09:23
Instead相反 of our traditional傳統
horizontal水平 agriculture農業
166
551540
2657
同佔地廣闊嘅傳統水平農業唔同
09:26
that requires需要 so much land土地,
167
554221
1729
09:27
we can scale規模 vertically垂直,
168
555974
1577
我哋可以向上發展
09:29
and as a result結果
produce生產 much more product產品 per area一區.
169
557571
5636
從而提高單位土地嘅產量
09:36
If we implement實現 this type類型 of approach方法
and use these carbon recyclers回收,
170
564187
4464
如果我哋利用呢啲碳循環機
實行呢種方法
09:40
then we wouldn't唔會 have to remove刪除
any more rainforests熱帶雨林
171
568675
3296
咁我哋就唔再需要為食物、消費品
09:43
to make the food食品 and the goods貨物
that we consume消費.
172
571995
3434
而移除任何熱帶雨林
09:48
Because, at a large scale規模,
173
576524
2213
因為通過大規模種植
09:50
you can actually講真 make 10,000 times
more output輸出 per land土地 area一區
174
578761
5308
實際上你可以種出 – 比如種大豆
如果你喺同一片土地種植大豆
09:56
than you could -- for instance實例,
if you used soybeans大豆 --
175
584093
3155
一年之後
09:59
if you planted種植 soybeans大豆
on that same相同 area一區 of land土地
176
587272
3060
你會比原先得到多出一萬倍嘅單位產量
10:02
over a period時期 of a year.
177
590356
1444
10:04
Ten thousand times
over a period時期 of a year.
178
592531
2269
一年時間收穫係比原先產量嘅一萬倍
10:08
So this is what I mean
by a new新增功能 type類型 of agriculture農業.
179
596300
3559
呢個就我所講嘅新型農業
呢個亦係我所講嘅發展一個系統
10:12
And this is what I mean
by developing發展 a system系統
180
600613
3308
嚟滿足一百億人口需求嘅系統
10:15
that allows允許 us to sustainably持續 scale規模
to meet滿足 the demands要求 of 10 billion.
181
603945
4894
10:22
And what would be the products產品
of this new新增功能 type類型 of agriculture農業?
182
610704
3595
咁呢種新型農業可以生產乜嘢?
10:26
Well, we've我哋都 already made作出 a protein蛋白 meal,
183
614323
2183
我哋已經整咗一種蛋白質餐
10:28
so you can imagine想象 something
similar類似 to a soybean大豆 meal,
184
616530
3263
咁你可以想像到一啲類似黃豆餐
10:31
or even cornmeal粟米粉, or wheat小麥 flour麵粉.
185
619817
1943
或者甚至係粟米粉、小麥麵粉嘅產品
10:34
We've我哋都 already made作出 oils,
186
622203
1353
我哋已經生產咗油
10:35
so you can imagine想象 something
similar類似 to coconut椰子 oil
187
623580
3678
咁你可以想像一啲類似椰子油嘅產品
10:39
or olive橄欖 oil or soybean大豆 oil.
188
627282
2014
或者係橄欖油、大豆油
10:42
So this type類型 of crop作物 can
actually講真 produce生產 the nutrients營養
189
630042
4238
所以呢種作物實際上可以生產
富含營養嘅意大利麵、麵包
10:46
that would give us pasta麵食 and bread麵包,
190
634304
2295
10:48
cakes蛋糕, nutritional營養 items項目 of many好多 sorts各種.
191
636623
3126
蛋糕、各種營養食品
10:52
Furthermore此外, since因為 oil is used
to manufacture製造 multiple多個 other goods貨物,
192
640226
6912
而且,既然油可以用嚟生產多種物品
10:59
industrial工業 products產品 and consumer消費者 products產品,
193
647162
2056
工業品、消費品
11:01
you can imagine想象 being able to make
detergents洗滌劑, soaps肥皂, lotions乳液, etc.,
194
649242
4803
你可以想像利用呢種作物
都可以生產清潔劑、肥皂、乳液等等
11:06
using使用 these types類型 of crops作物.
195
654069
1647
如果我哋繼續用依家嘅現代農業種植
11:09
Not only are we running運行 out of space空間,
196
657382
2880
11:12
but if we continue繼續 to operate操作
under the status地位 quo現狀
197
660286
3168
就唔單止面臨土地資源匱乏嘅問題
11:15
with modern現代 agriculture農業,
198
663478
1473
11:16
we run運行 the risk風險 of robbing打劫 our progeny後代
of a beautiful planet星球.
199
664975
4650
仲會有風險令我哋啲子孫
失去呢個美麗嘅星球
11:22
But it doesn't have to be this way.
200
670216
1964
但係用新型農業就可以避免
11:24
We can imagine想象 a future未來 of abundance豐富.
201
672627
2778
我哋可以想像一個富足嘅未來
11:28
Let us create創建 systems系統 that keep
planet星球 Earth地球, our spaceship飛船,
202
676154
5876
等我哋嚟創造唔單止可以
避免地球毀滅、太空船墜毀
11:34
not only from not crashing崩潰,
203
682054
1880
11:36
but let us also develop發展 systems系統
and ways方式 of living生活
204
684410
4130
仲可以發展造福我哋
11:40
that will be beneficial有益
to the lives生活 of ourselves自己
205
688564
4158
以及 2050 年一百億人口生活嘅
11:44
and the 10 billion that will
be on this planet星球 by 2050.
206
692746
3642
生態系統同生活方式
11:48
Thank you very much.
207
696817
