to learn what patience means.
何なのかを初めて学びました
as a birthday present,
手品の箱をくれたのです
would become a gift for life.
2人共思ってもいませんでした
an amateur dove magician.
マジシャンになりました
requires that I train my doves
鳩を自分の服の中で
必要になります
in a rush to make them appear,
鳩を慌てて登場させていましたが
of this magical act
タキシードの中で
only after they've waited patiently
ようやく登場させる事だと―
必要とされました
some years to master.
数年かかるようなものでした
seven years ago,
became almost impossible to practice.
実践するのは困難になりました
and everything is in a hurry,
気忙しいのです
over 1.3 billion other people
良い生活を送る為
ルールを捻じ曲げ
もたらすことがあります
in a country of rich natural resources
4千年に及ぶ農業は
of chemicals and pesticides.
損なわれています
in just nine months.
安全基準違反があったことを明らかにしました
diabetics in the world
4人に1人の糖尿病患者が
a mindful patience into the impatience.
持つ時だと 自分に言い聞かせました
知るという意味なのです
becomes a reality in China,
online farmers market
農産物産直市場を開設しました
produce to families.
家庭にもたらすのです
was somewhat dismal.
結構酷いものでした
and hardly any meat to sell,
肉も殆どありませんでした
passed our zero tolerance test
農薬、化学物質、抗生物質、ホルモン剤について
antibiotics and hormones.
なかったからです
こう言いました
every local farmer in China.
決して諦めないと
地元農家から
裏庭で育った
of villagers on Hainan Island.
遂に見つけたのです
2時間しか離れていない
does not have coordinates for,
表示されない島で
in as fast as three hours
3時間程で配達し
最小限にする為に
再利用タイプの箱を使っています
will continue to grow,
増えて行くと確信していますが
to shape the future of good food.
より多くの人達の協力が必要です
food tech accelerator and VC platform
ベンチャー支援プラットフォームを設立しました
the future of good food
スタートアップを
as a more sustainable source of protein
食べられる昆虫だったり
to keep food fresh for longer.
エッセンシャルオイルだったりします
a sustainable food system
ほぼ罪悪と見なされる国で
a crime to take it slow?
作ろうとしているのですかと
how to act while waiting,
知ることだからです
with my grandmother's magic box.
学んだ忍耐なのです
the earth from our ancestors.
受け継いでいるのではありません
それを借りているのです
