ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Marcin Jakubowski - Farmer and technologist
Marcin Jakubowski is open-sourcing a set of blueprints for 50 farming tools that can be built cheaply from scratch. Call it a "civilization starter kit."

Why you should listen

Declaring that, "We can lead self-sustaining lives without sacrificing our standard of living," Marcin Jakubowski believes that only by opening the means of production can we achieve abundance for all. Though he has a Ph.D. in fusion physics, he became dissatisfied with its remoteness, and turned back to the earth as a farmer and social innovator.

He is the founder of Open Source Ecology, which is creating the Global Village Construction Set — the blueprints for simple fabrication of everything needed to start a self-sustaining village. At Factor e Farm in rural Missouri, he's been successfully putting those ideas to the test.

Hi, my name is Marcin --

3000
Салом, номи ман Марчин —
00:18
farmer, technologist.
1
3000
2000
фермер, технолог.
00:20
I was born in Poland, now in the U.S.
2
5000
3000
Ман дар Полша ба дунё омадаам, холо дар ШМА зиндаги мекунам.
00:23
I started a group called Open Source Ecology.
3
8000
3000
Ман гурухи «Экология бо сарчашмахои кушода»-ро ташкил кардам.
00:26
We've identified the 50 most important machines
4
11000
2000
Мо 50 мошини аз хама мухимро муайян кардем,
00:28
that we think it takes for modern life to exist --
5
13000
3000
бо шарофати зиндагии хозиразамон —
00:31
things from tractors,
6
16000
2000
сар карда аз тракотрхо,
00:33
bread ovens, circuit makers.
7
18000
2000
танурхои нонпази, генераторхои электрики.
00:35
Then we set out to create
8
20000
2000
Баъд мо максади кушодани
00:37
an open source, DIY, do it yourself version
9
22000
3000
накшахои кушода, намунаи «худат бикун»-ро,
00:40
that anyone can build and maintain
10
25000
2000
ки бо кисми ками арзиши он
00:42
at a fraction of the cost.
11
27000
2000
хар як шахс метавонад созад ва кор кунадро гирифтем.
00:44
We call this the Global Village Construction Set.
12
29000
2000
Мо инро Мачмуи Сохтмони Дехахои Чахони кардем.
00:46
So let me tell you a story.
13
31000
2000
Ичозат дихед ба шумо ривояте накл кунам.
00:48
So I finished my 20s
14
33000
2000
Ман ба дарачаи 30 соли
00:50
with a Ph.D. in fusion energy,
15
35000
2000
доктори илм дар сохаи кувваи термоядери расидам
00:52
and I discovered I was useless.
16
37000
3000
ва ошкор кардам, ки ман бефоида будаам.
00:55
I had no practical skills.
17
40000
2000
Ман донишхои амали надоштам.
00:57
The world presented me with options,
18
42000
2000
Дунё ба ман хукуки интихобро дод
00:59
and I took them.
19
44000
2000
ва ман инро истифода бурдам.
01:01
I guess you can call it the consumer lifestyle.
20
46000
2000
Фикр мекунам, ки шумо метавонед инро симои хаёти истифодабаранда ном баред.
01:03
So I started a farm in Missouri
21
48000
3000
Ман хочагии фермериро дар Миссури
01:06
and learned about the economics of farming.
22
51000
3000
огоз намудам ва иктисодиёти хочагии кишлокро омухтам.
01:09
I bought a tractor -- then it broke.
23
54000
3000
Ман трактор харидам-баъд вай шикаст.
01:12
I paid to get it repaired --
24
57000
2000
Ман барои таъмири вай пул додам —
01:14
then it broke again.
25
59000
2000
баъд вай боз шикаст.
01:16
Then pretty soon,
26
61000
2000
Ба наздики
01:18
I was broke too.
27
63000
2000
ман хам шикастам.
01:20
I realized
28
65000
2000
Ман фахмидам,
01:22
that the truly appropriate, low-cost tools that I needed
29
67000
3000
ки асбобхои асосан мутобик, камарзише, ки ба ман
01:25
to start a sustainable farm and settlement
30
70000
3000
барои аввали фермаи устувор ва сокинон лозим буданд
01:28
just didn't exist yet.
31
73000
2000
факат холо вучуд надошт.
01:30
I needed tools that were robust, modular,
32
75000
3000
Ба ман асбобхои мустахкам, модули,
01:33
highly efficient and optimized,
33
78000
2000
бо коэффисенти баланд ва мувофик,
01:35
low-cost,
34
80000
2000
камарзиш,
01:37
made from local and recycled materials that would last a lifetime,
35
82000
3000
аз масолехи махали ва аз нав коркард карда шуда, ки мухлати хизматро дароз карда тавонанд,
01:40
not designed for obsolescence.
36
85000
2000
тез кухна нашаванд лозим буданд.
01:42
I found that I would have to build them myself.
37
87000
3000
Ман фахмидам, ки бояд худам мустакилона онхоро созам.
01:45
So I did just that.
38
90000
3000
Акнун ман инро кардам.
01:48
And I tested them.
39
93000
3000
Ва ман инро тахкик кардам.
01:51
And I found that industrial productivity
40
96000
3000
Ва ман фахмидам, ки истехсолоти саноати
01:54
can be achieved on a small scale.
41
99000
3000
метавонад доираи хурдро дар бар гирад.
01:57
So then I published the 3D designs,
42
102000
3000
Баъд ман накшахои сеченака,
02:00
schematics,
43
105000
2000
намунахое,
02:02
instructional videos and budgets
44
107000
3000
ки видео ва бучети вики-сайтро меомузанд
02:05
on a wiki.
45
110000
2000
нашр кардам.
02:07
Then contributors from all over the world
46
112000
2000
Иштирокчиён аз чахони худ
02:09
began showing up, prototyping new machines
47
114000
3000
намоиш додани мошинхои навро
02:12
during dedicated project visits.
48
117000
2000
дар вакти мулокотхои накшавии махсус огоз намуданд.
02:14
So far, we have prototyped eight of the 50 machines.
49
119000
3000
Дар айни замон мо тимсоли 8 аз 50 мошинро дорем.
02:17
And now the project
50
122000
2000
Ва холо лоиха
02:19
is beginning to grow on its own.
51
124000
3000
худ ба худ калон шуда истодааст.
02:22
We know that open source has succeeded
52
127000
2000
Мо медонем, ки принсипи рамзхои кушод
02:24
with tools for managing knowledge and creativity.
53
129000
3000
хамчун асбоби идоракунии дониш бомуваффакият инкишоф ёфта истодааст.
02:27
And the same is starting to happen with hardware too.
54
132000
3000
Бо тачхизот хам чунин рухдода истодааст.
02:30
We're focusing on hardware
55
135000
2000
Мо барои он ба тачхизот руй меорем,
02:32
because it is hardware that can change people's lives
56
137000
3000
ки махсусан тачхизот метавонад хаёти одамонро тагйир дихад
02:35
in such tangible material ways.
57
140000
3000
бо чунин тарзи модди.
02:38
If we can lower the barriers to farming, building, manufacturing,
58
143000
3000
Агар мо тавонем, ки душвориро барои фермери, сохтмон, истехсолот осон кунем,
02:41
then we can unleash just massive amounts of human potential.
59
146000
3000
пас мо метавонем микдори зиёди иктидори одамонро озод кунем.
02:44
That's not only in the developing world.
60
149000
3000
Ин натанхо мамлакатхои тараккикардаро дар бар мегирад.
02:47
Our tools are being made
61
152000
2000
Асбобхои мо барои фермер,
02:49
for the American farmer, builder, entrepreneur, maker.
62
154000
3000
сохтмончи, сохибкор, устои амрикои карда мешаванд.
02:52
We've seen lots of excitement from these people,
63
157000
2000
Мо бедоршавии калонро дар ин одамон дидем,
02:54
who can now start a construction business,
64
159000
2000
ки холо метавонанд сохибкории сохтмониро огоз намоянд,
02:56
parts manufacturing,
65
161000
2000
чузъхоро истехсол намоянд,
02:58
organic CSA
66
163000
2000
кишоварзии табиииро зиёд кунанд,
03:00
or just selling power back to the grid.
67
165000
3000
ё ин, ки аз нав баркро ба худи шабака фурушанд.
03:04
Our goal is a repository of published designs
68
169000
2000
Максади мо-офаридани бойгонии лоихахои нашршуда,
03:06
so clear, so complete,
69
171000
2000
фахмо ва пур,
03:08
that a single burned DVD
70
173000
2000
ки дар як DVD мегунчад
03:10
is effectively a civilization starter kit.
71
175000
3000
ба маънои мачмуи аввал барои тамаддун.
03:16
I've planted a hundred trees in a day.
72
181000
3000
Ман садхо дарахт шинондам дар руз.
03:19
I've pressed 5,000 bricks in one day
73
184000
3000
Ман 5000 хиштро сахт кардам дар як руз
03:22
from the dirt beneath my feet
74
187000
4000
аз замин (хоки) дар таги поям
03:26
and built a tractor in six days.
75
191000
3000
ва тракторро дар шаш руз сохтам.
03:29
From what I've seen, this is only the beginning.
76
194000
3000
Чи хеле, ки ман мебинам, ин танхо аввалаш аст.
03:32
If this idea is truly sound,
77
197000
3000
Агар ин акида дар хакикат садо дихад,
03:35
then the implications are significant.
78
200000
3000
пас окибати он бисёр хуб мешавад.
03:38
A greater distribution of the means of production,
79
203000
3000
Таксимкунии хуби воситахои истехсолот,
03:41
environmentally sound supply chains,
80
206000
3000
силсилаи экологи дурусти вазъият
03:44
and a newly relevant DIY maker culture
81
209000
4000
ва мувофикии вакт «худат бикун» маданият
03:48
can hope to transcend
82
213000
2000
умеди баромадан аз сархади санъати
03:50
artificial scarcity.
83
215000
3000
норасоии захираро медихад.
03:53
We're exploring the limits
84
218000
2000
Мо сархади онро риоя мекунем,
03:55
of what we all can do to make a better world
85
220000
3000
ки хамаи мо метавонем барои ба вучуд овардани дунёи хуб
03:58
with open hardware technology.
86
223000
2000
бо технологияи истехсоли асбобхоро бикунем.
04:00
Thank you.
