Imagine想像 you are a part部分
of a crew船员 of astronauts宇航员
0
1658
4442
想象你是那些宇航员中的一员
00:18
traveling旅行 to Mars火星 or some distant遥远 planet行星.
1
6124
3152
你们前往火星或遥远的行星
00:21
The travel旅行 time could take a year
2
9854
3032
这次旅行可能会需要一年的时间
00:24
or even longer.
3
12910
1469
或者更长
00:26
The space空间 on board and the resources资源
4
14836
2937
飞船上的空间和资源
00:29
would be limited有限.
5
17797
1540
将会受到限制
00:31
So you and the crew船员 would have
to figure数字 out how to produce生产 food餐饮
6
19361
4587
于是你和你的团队将不得不弄清楚如何
00:35
with minimal最小 inputs输入.
7
23972
1459
用最少的给料来生产食物
00:38
What if you could bring带来 with you
just a few少数 packets of seeds种子,
8
26169
3877
假如你能携带一小包
00:42
and grow增长 crops作物 in a matter of hours小时?
9
30965
3399
可以在几个小时内成熟的种子?
00:46
And what if those crops作物
would then make more seeds种子,
10
34914
3437
假如那些作物可以产出更多的种子
00:50
enabling启用 you to feed饲料 the entire整个 crew船员
11
38375
3054
使你可以仅仅凭借这几包种子
00:53
with just those few少数 packets of seeds种子
for the duration持续时间 of the trip?
12
41453
3762
就可以在旅行期间养活整个团队?
00:58
Well, the scientists科学家们 at NASANASA actually其实
figured想通 out a way to do this.
13
46465
4286
美国国家航空航天局的科学家实际上已经找到了这样的方法
01:03
What they came来了 up with
was actually其实 quite相当 interesting有趣.
14
51546
2643
他们的想法非常有趣
01:06
It involved参与 microorganisms微生物,
15
54213
1896
它涉及到微生物
01:08
which哪一个 are single-celled单细胞 organisms生物.
16
56133
2090
一些单细胞的有机物
01:10
And they also used hydrogen from water.
17
58732
2336
而且他们还使用了从水中提炼的氢
01:13
The types类型 of microbes微生物 that they used
were called hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs,
18
61511
4088
他们使用的那种微生物被称为氢利用菌
01:17
and with these hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs,
you can create创建 a virtuous carbon cycle周期
19
65623
5290
利用这些氢利用菌,你可以创造出有效的碳循环
01:22
that would sustain支持 life
onboard在船上 a spacecraft宇宙飞船.
20
70937
2818
有效的碳循环会维持飞船上的生活
01:26
Astronauts宇航员 would breathe呼吸 out
carbon dioxide二氧化碳,
21
74525
3692
宇航员们会呼出二氧化碳
01:30
that carbon dioxide二氧化碳 would then
be captured捕获 by the microbes微生物
22
78241
3801
那些二氧化碳会被这些微生物捕捉到
01:34
and converted转换 into a nutritious有营养,
carbon-rich富碳 crop作物.
23
82066
3555
然后转化为一种有营养的,碳含量高的农作物
01:38
The astronauts宇航员 would then eat
that carbon-rich富碳 crop作物
24
86287
3591
于是宇航员们可以吃这些含碳量高的作物
01:41
and exhale the carbon out
in the form形成 of carbon dioxide二氧化碳,
25
89902
3990
然后再以二氧化碳的形式呼出
01:45
which哪一个 would then be captured捕获
by the microbes微生物,
26
93916
2224
然后再被这些微生物捕捉
01:48
to create创建 a nutritious有营养 crop作物,
27
96164
1635
产出营养价值高的作物
01:49
which哪一个 then would be exhaled呼出
in the form形成 of carbon dioxide二氧化碳
28
97823
2895
再由宇航员以二氧化碳的
01:52
by the astronauts宇航员.
29
100742
1410
形式呼出
01:54
So in this way, a closed-loop闭环
carbon cycle周期 is created创建.
30
102176
3002
于是以这种方式,,一个封闭的碳循环就形成了
01:57
So why is this important重要?
31
105821
1638
为什么碳循环这么重要呢
02:00
We need carbon to survive生存 as humans人类,
32
108158
2174
作为人类我们需要碳来维持生存
02:02
and we get our carbon from food餐饮.
33
110872
1865
而且我们从食物中获取碳
02:05
On a long space空间 journey旅程,
34
113237
1683
在远途的空间旅行中
02:06
you simply只是 wouldn't不会 be able能够 to pick up
any carbon along沿 the way,
35
114944
3319
你可能在沿途无法获取任何碳物质
02:10
so you'd have to figure数字 out
how to recycle回收 it on board.
36
118287
2935
所以你不得不想清楚如何在飞船上使碳循环
02:13
This is a clever聪明 solution, right?
37
121817
2445
这是一个聪明的解决办法,不是吗?
02:16
But the thing is, that research研究
didn't really go anywhere随地.
38
124825
3704
但问题在于,那个研究并没有实践应用于任何地方
02:20
We haven't没有 yet然而 gone走了 to Mars火星.
We haven't没有 yet然而 gone走了 to another另一个 planet行星.
39
128553
3722
我们还没有去火星,也没有去其他的行星
02:24
And this was actually其实 doneDONE
in the '60s and '70s.
40
132299
2638
而且这个研究实际上是在60-70年代期间完成的
02:27
So a colleague同事 of mine,
Dr博士. John约翰 Reed芦苇, and I,
41
135365
3357
我的一个同事,Dr. John Reed和我
02:30
were interested有兴趣, actually其实,
in carbon recycling回收 here on Earth地球.
42
138746
3971
当时对于地球上碳的重复利用非常感兴趣
02:34
We wanted to come up
with technical技术 solutions解决方案
43
142741
2231
我们希望可以想出科学的办法
02:36
to address地址 climate气候 change更改.
44
144996
1760
来解决气候变化问题
02:38
And we discovered发现 this research研究
45
146780
2221
我们通过阅读60年代的1967年及其以后发表的
02:41
by reading some papers文件 published发表
in the '60s -- 1967 and later后来 --
46
149025
4410
与这项工作有关的文章
02:45
articles用品 about this work.
47
153469
2799
得到了这样的研究结果
02:48
And we thought it was a really good idea理念.
48
156292
2078
而且我们认为那是一个非常好的想法
02:50
So we said, well, Earth地球
is actually其实 like a spaceship飞船.
49
158774
3064
于是我们提出,地球其实就像一个飞船一样
02:54
We have limited有限 space空间
and limited有限 resources资源,
50
162370
3412
我们拥有有限的空间和有限的资源
02:57
and on Earth地球, we really do
need to figure数字 out
51
165806
2183
而且在地球上,我们着实需要想清楚
03:00
how to recycle回收 our carbon better.
52
168013
1895
如何更好地循环利用碳
03:03
So we had the idea理念,
53
171202
2147
于是我们有了一个主意
03:05
can we take some of these
NASA-typeNASA型 ideas思路 and apply应用 them
54
173373
6750
我们能不能利用这些美国航空航天局的思路并把他们应用于
03:12
to our carbon problem问题 here on Earth地球?
55
180147
2765
我们地球上的碳问题?
03:14
Could we cultivate培育
these NASA-typeNASA型 microbes微生物
56
182936
2632
我们能不能培养他们所谓的那种微生物
03:17
in order订购 to make
valuable有价值 products制品 here on Earth地球?
57
185592
2793
使我们能够在地球上生产有价值的产品
03:21
We started开始 a company公司 to do it.
58
189241
2452
于是我们创办了一个公司做这件事
03:23
And in that company公司, we discovered发现
that these hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs --
59
191717
4680
在那个公司里,我们发现这些氢利用菌
03:28
which哪一个 I'll actually其实 call
nature's大自然 supercharged增压 carbon recyclers回收 --
60
196421
3937
(我把它称为自然界碳资源的超级循环器)
03:32
we found发现 that they are a powerful强大
class of microbes微生物
61
200382
2819
我们发现他们是一类强大的微生物
03:35
that had been largely大部分 overlooked忽视
and understudied充分研究,
62
203225
3828
这类微生物曾一直被忽视并被作为替补
03:39
and that they could make
some really valuable有价值 products制品.
63
207077
2705
我们还发现他们可以创造一些非常有价值的产品
03:42
So we began开始 cultivating培育 these products制品,
these microbes微生物, in our lab实验室.
64
210544
4087
于是我们开始在实验室里制造这些产品,这些微生物
03:47
We found发现 that we can make
essential必要 amino氨基 acids from carbon dioxide二氧化碳
65
215115
3855
我们发现我们能够利用这种微生物
03:50
using运用 these microbes微生物.
66
218994
1465
从二氧化碳中得到基础的氨基酸
03:52
And we even made制作 a protein-rich富含蛋白质 meal膳食
67
220483
3045
我们甚至制造出一种富含蛋白质的粉
03:55
that has an amino氨基 acid profile轮廓
similar类似 to what you might威力 find
68
223552
4471
这种粉有一种氨基酸的外形,就像你可能会从
04:00
in some animal动物 proteins蛋白质.
69
228047
1516
一些动物蛋白中看到的那样
04:02
We began开始 cultivating培育 them even further进一步,
70
230523
2410
我们开始更深层次的培养他们
04:04
and we found发现 that we can make oil.
71
232957
1917
于是我们发现我们能够制造出油
04:06
Oils are used to manufacture制造
many许多 products制品.
72
234898
2451
油可以用来加工很多产品
04:09
We made制作 an oil that was similar类似
to a citrus柑橘 oil,
73
237738
3333
我们制造了一种类似于柠檬油的油
04:13
which哪一个 can be used for flavoring调料
and for fragrances香水,
74
241095
3085
它可以被用来调味或用于香水中
04:16
but it also can be used
as a biodegradable可生物降解 cleaner清洁器
75
244204
2627
但是它也可以被用于一种具有生物降解功能的清洁剂
04:18
or even as a jet喷射 fuel汽油.
76
246855
1484
或者是一种喷气燃料
04:21
And we made制作 an oil
that's similar类似 to palm棕榈 oil.
77
249236
2391
而且我们还生产了一种类似于粽榈油的油
04:24
Palm棕榈 oil is used to manufacture制造
78
252065
1960
棕榈油被用于供给
04:26
a wide range范围 of consumer消费者
and industrial产业 goods产品.
79
254049
3308
很大范围的生态消费者和制造一些工业商品
04:30
We began开始 working加工 with manufacturers制造商
to scale规模 up this technology技术,
80
258873
4742
我们开始和制造商一起工作以扩大这项技术的规模
04:35
and we're currently目前 working加工 with them
81
263639
1807
而且我们现在依然和他们一起合作
04:37
to bring带来 some of these products制品 to market市场.
82
265470
2094
把一些产品推向市场
04:40
We believe this type类型 of technology技术
can indeed确实 help us
83
268756
2940
我们相信这种科技的确可以帮到我们
04:43
profitably盈利 recycle回收 carbon dioxide二氧化碳
into valuable有价值 products制品 --
84
271720
3350
合理的回收二氧化碳,并用于有价值的产品
04:47
something that's beneficial有利
for the planet行星
85
275777
2038
而这些产品对地球是有益的
04:49
but also beneficial有利 for business商业.
86
277839
1734
对我们的商业也是很有益的
04:52
That's what we're doing today今天.
87
280383
1818
那就是我们现在正在做的事情
04:54
But tomorrow明天, this type类型 of technology技术
and using运用 these types类型 of microbes微生物
88
282225
4230
但是未来,如果我们把这种技术和对这种微生物的利用
04:58
actually其实 could help us
do something even greater更大
89
286479
2763
应用到下一个层次的话,这着实可以帮到我们
05:01
if we take it to the next下一个 level水平.
90
289266
1951
做到更环保
05:04
We believe that this type类型 of technology技术
91
292045
2418
我们相信这种技术
05:06
can actually其实 help us address地址
an issue问题 with agriculture农业
92
294487
3239
其实也可以帮我们解决农业上的问题
05:09
and allow允许 us to create创建
a type类型 of agriculture农业 that's sustainable可持续发展,
93
297750
4525
这种技术使我们能够创造出一种可持续的农业模式
05:14
that will allow允许 us to scale规模
to meet遇到 the demands需要 of tomorrow明天.
94
302299
3585
那将使我们扩大规模以满足未来的需求
05:18
And why might威力 we need
a sustainable可持续发展 agriculture农业?
95
306585
3045
为什么我们需要一个可持续的农业模式呢?
05:22
Well, actually其实, it is estimated预计
96
310325
2188
实际上,有人预测
05:24
that the population人口 will reach达到
about 10 billion十亿 by 2050,
97
312537
5237
截止2050年人口数量将会达到100亿
05:29
and we're projecting突出 that we will need
to increase增加 food餐饮 production生产
98
317798
3181
我们提出我们将需要增加70%
05:33
by 70 percent百分.
99
321003
1572
的食品产量
05:35
In addition加成, we will need many许多 more
resources资源 and raw生的 materials物料
100
323182
3238
除此之外,我们将需要更多资源和原材料
05:38
to make consumer消费者 goods产品
and industrial产业 goods产品.
101
326444
2533
来制造消费品和工业化商品
05:41
So how will we scale规模 to meet遇到 that demand需求?
102
329571
2663
那么我们应该如何扩大范围以满足这样的需求呢?
05:44
Well, modern现代 agriculture农业 simply只是 cannot不能
sustainably可持续 scale规模 to meet遇到 that demand需求.
103
332669
5497
当然,仅仅靠现代农业无法实现持续化来满足那样的需求
05:50
There are a number of reasons原因 why.
104
338760
2218
这其中有很多理由
05:53
One of them is that modern现代 agriculture农业
is one of the largest最大 emitters发射器
105
341309
4836
其中一个原因就是现代农业是温室气体的
05:58
of greenhouse温室 gases气体.
106
346169
1581
一大发射源
05:59
In fact事实, it emits发射 more greenhouse温室 gases气体
107
347774
3623
事实上,由现代农业所释放的温室气体
06:03
than our cars汽车, our trucks卡车, our planes飞机
108
351421
3104
要比我们的汽车、卡车、飞机和火车
06:06
and our trains火车 combined结合.
109
354549
2436
加起来还要多
06:09
Another另一个 reason原因 is that modern现代 ag股份公司
simply只是 takes up a whole整个 lot of land土地.
110
357009
5516
另一个原因是仅仅是现代农业就占据了很大的土地
06:14
We have cleared清除 19.4 million百万 square广场 miles英里
for crops作物 and livestock家畜.
111
362549
6199
我们为种植业和家畜提供了1940万平方英里的土地
06:21
What does that look like?
112
369446
1648
那看起来有多大呢?
06:23
Well, that's roughly大致 the size尺寸
of South America美国 and Africa非洲 combined结合.
113
371118
4891
那几乎是南美与非洲加起来那么大
06:29
Let me give you a specific具体 example.
114
377041
2259
让我给你举一个具体的例子
06:31
In Indonesia印度尼西亚, an amount
of virgin处女 rainforest雨林 was cleared清除
115
379324
4956
在印度尼西亚,大量的原始森林被清除
06:36
totaling共计 the size尺寸
of approximately Ireland爱尔兰,
116
384304
3382
总计有大约爱尔兰岛那么大的面积
06:39
between之间 2000 and 2012.
117
387710
2595
那是发生在2000到2012年之间的
06:42
Just think of all
of the species种类, the diversity多样,
118
390717
3206
想象在这个过程中,所有的物种及其多样性
06:45
that was removed去除 in the process处理,
119
393947
1890
无论是植物,昆虫还是动物
06:47
whether是否 plant life, insects昆虫
or animal动物 life.
120
395861
2687
都在这个过程中被迁移
06:51
And a natural自然 carbon sink水槽
was also removed去除.
121
399145
2649
于是一个天然的碳池会就被移走了
06:54
So let me make this real真实 for you.
122
402437
1986
请让我告诉你这个事实
06:56
This clearing空地 happened发生 primarily主要
to make room房间 for palm棕榈 plantations种植园.
123
404896
3845
那被清理的土地主要被用来种植大片的棕榈树
07:01
And as I mentioned提到 before,
124
409399
1375
就像我前边提过的那样,
07:02
palm棕榈 oil is used
to manufacture制造 many许多 products制品.
125
410798
3549
棕榈油能够被用来制造许多产品
07:06
In fact事实, it is estimated预计
that over 50 percent百分 of consumer消费者 products制品
126
414371
3927
事实上,估计有超过50%烦人消费产品在制造过程中
07:10
are manufactured制成的 using运用 palm棕榈 oil.
127
418322
2389
使用棕榈油
07:13
And that includes包括 things
like ice cream奶油, cookies饼干 ...
128
421671
3227
那些商品包括冰淇淋,曲奇饼干...
07:17
It includes包括 cooking烹饪 oils.
129
425506
1867
包括食用油,
07:19
It also includes包括 detergents洗涤剂,
lotions化妆水, soaps肥皂.
130
427397
3538
还包括洗涤液,洗衣液和肥皂
07:23
You and I both
probably大概 have numerous众多 items项目
131
431594
4079
我们可能在我们的
07:28
in our kitchens厨房 and our bathrooms浴室
132
436395
2501
厨房和浴室里有大量的
07:30
that were manufactured制成的 using运用 palm棕榈 oil.
133
438920
2007
使用棕榈油制造的产品
07:33
So you and I are direct直接 beneficiaries受益者
of removed去除 rainforests热带雨林.
134
441450
5215
所以我们也都是雨林被移除的直接受益者

Modern现代 ag股份公司 has some problems问题,
135
447691
2089
现代化农业有一些问题,
07:41
and we need solutions解决方案
if we want to scale规模 sustainably可持续.
136
449804
3474
如果我们想要稳定的扩张,我们需要解决方法
07:47
I believe that microbes微生物
can be a part部分 of the answer回答 --
137
455151
4526
我认为那种微生物可以是一种解决方案
07:51
specifically特别, these supercharged增压
carbon recyclers回收.
138
459701
3983
具体而言,就是那些超动力碳元素回收者
07:55
These supercharged增压 carbon recyclers回收,
139
463708
2522
这些超动力碳元素回收者,
07:58
like plants植物, serve服务 as
the natural自然 recyclers回收
140
466254
4031
就像植物一样,充当着自然的反复循环器
08:02
in their ecosystems生态系统 where they thrive兴旺.
141
470309
2121
在他们所生存的生态系统中
08:04
And they thrive兴旺 in exotic异国情调 places地方 on Earth地球,
142
472454
2196
他们生活在地球上非常独特的地方
08:06
like hydrothermal热液 vents通风口 and hot springs弹簧.
143
474674
2451
就像深海热泉或是温泉里
08:09
In those ecosystems生态系统,
they take carbon and recycle回收 it
144
477543
3263
在这些生态系统中,他们吸收碳元素并回收它
08:12
into the nutrients营养成分 needed需要
for those ecosystems生态系统.
145
480830
2554
把碳元素转换为那个生态系统中所需要的营养物质
08:15
And they're rich丰富 in nutrients营养成分,
146
483916
1459
于是这些生态系统就富含了营养物质
08:17
such这样 as oils and proteins蛋白质,
minerals矿物质 and carbohydrates碳水化合物.
147
485399
5205
例如油和蛋白质,矿物质和碳水化合物
08:24
And actually其实, microbes微生物 are already已经
an integral积分 part部分 of our everyday每天 lives生活.
148
492025
4532
事实上,微生物已经成为我们生活中不可或缺的一部分
08:29
If you enjoy请享用 a glass玻璃 of pinot黑比诺 noir黑色
on a Friday星期五 night,
149
497335
4207
如果你想在一个漫长劳累的一周后的周五晚上
08:33
after a long, hard work week,
150
501566
1944
来一杯黑比诺(葡萄品种之一)葡萄酒
08:35
then you are enjoying享受
a product产品 of microbes微生物.
151
503534
2674
其实你就是在享受微生物的产品
08:39
If you enjoy请享用 a beer啤酒
from your local本地 microbrewery酿酒 --
152
507176
2682
如果你在品味来自你们当地酿酒厂的啤酒
08:41
a product产品 of microbes微生物.
153
509882
1620
它其实也是微生物的作品
08:43
Or bread面包, or cheese起司, or yogurt酸奶.
154
511526
2949
或者像面包,奶酪,酸奶
08:47
These are all products制品 of microbes微生物.
155
515060
2050
他们也都是微生物的产品
08:49
But the beauty美女 and power功率 associated相关
with these supercharged增压 carbon recyclers回收
156
517729
5285
但是这些超动力碳元素回收循环器的美和力量
08:55
lies in the fact事实 that they can
actually其实 produce生产 in a matter of hours小时
157
523038
5100
在于它们能够在几个小时内
09:00
versus months个月.
158
528162
1326
生产几个月的产量
09:01
That means手段 we can make crops作物
159
529512
1943
那就意味着我们可以比现在更快地
09:03
much faster更快 than we're making制造 them today今天.
160
531479
3317
种植作物
09:07
They grow增长 in the dark黑暗,
161
535685
1635
这些微生物在黑暗中生长
09:09
so they can grow增长 in any season季节
162
537344
2547
所以他们可以在任何一个季节
09:11
and in any geography地理 and any location位置.
163
539915
3220
在任何地形地势,任何位置生长
09:15
They can grow增长 in containers集装箱
that require要求 minimal最小 space空间.
164
543159
3612
他们还可以在极小的容器中生长
09:19
And we can get to a type类型
of vertical垂直 agriculture农业.
165
547562
3954
于是我们能够得到一种立体农业
09:23
Instead代替 of our traditional传统
horizontal agriculture农业
166
551540
2657
代替我们传统的需要占据
09:26
that requires要求 so much land土地,
167
554221
1729
很多土地的水平农业
09:27
we can scale规模 vertically垂直,
168
555974
1577
我们可以在垂直方向上扩张
09:29
and as a result结果
produce生产 much more product产品 per area.
169
557571
5636
这样一来,我们在单位面积的土地上就可以产出更多的产品
09:36
If we implement实行 this type类型 of approach途径
and use these carbon recyclers回收,
170
564187
4464
如果我们使用了这种方法并且使用这些碳元素循环器
09:40
then we wouldn't不会 have to remove去掉
any more rainforests热带雨林
171
568675
3296
我们将不需要移除更多的雨林
09:43
to make the food餐饮 and the goods产品
that we consume消耗.
172
571995
3434
来制造我们消耗的食物和商品
09:48
Because, at a large scale规模,
173
576524
2213
因为,在大规模上,
09:50
you can actually其实 make 10,000 times
more output产量 per land土地 area
174
578761
5308
你在单位土地上实际上可以实现原来10000倍的产出
09:56
than you could -- for instance,
if you used soybeans大豆 --
175
584093
3155
例如,如果你种植大豆,
09:59
if you planted种植的 soybeans大豆
on that same相同 area of land土地
176
587272
3060
如果你在同样面积的土地
10:02
over a period of a year.
177
590356
1444
在一年中种植一期大豆
10:04
Ten thousand times
over a period of a year.
178
592531
2269
10000倍于一年一期的大豆产量
10:08
So this is what I mean
by a new type类型 of agriculture农业.
179
596300
3559
这就是我想通过一种新型农业表达的想法
10:12
And this is what I mean
by developing发展 a system系统
180
600613
3308
这也是我为什么说要发展一个
10:15
that allows允许 us to sustainably可持续 scale规模
to meet遇到 the demands需要 of 10 billion十亿.
181
603945
4894
允许我们持续扩大规模以满足未来100亿的需求
10:22
And what would be the products制品
of this new type类型 of agriculture农业?
182
610704
3595
那么这种新型农业的产品将会是什么呢
10:26
Well, we've我们已经 already已经 made制作 a protein蛋白 meal膳食,
183
614323
2183
事实上,我们已经生产出一种蛋白质粉
10:28
so you can imagine想像 something
similar类似 to a soybean黄豆 meal膳食,
184
616530
3263
因此你可以想象出像豆粉,
10:31
or even cornmeal棒子面, or wheat小麦 flour面粉.
185
619817
1943
玉米粉或面粉之类的东西
10:34
We've我们已经 already已经 made制作 oils,
186
622203
1353
我们也已经产出了油
10:35
so you can imagine想像 something
similar类似 to coconut椰子 oil
187
623580
3678
所以你可以想象一些像椰子油,
10:39
or olive橄榄 oil or soybean黄豆 oil.
188
627282
2014
或橄榄油,豆油之类的产品
10:42
So this type类型 of crop作物 can
actually其实 produce生产 the nutrients营养成分
189
630042
4238
所以这种作物可以生产营养品
10:46
that would give us pasta意大利面 and bread面包,
190
634304
2295
从而为我们提供面食和面包,
10:48
cakes蛋糕, nutritional营养 items项目 of many许多 sorts排序.
191
636623
3126
蛋糕等各种各样的营养品
10:52
Furthermore此外, since以来 oil is used
to manufacture制造 multiple other goods产品,
192
640226
6912
而且,由于油被用于生产制造多种产品
10:59
industrial产业 products制品 and consumer消费者 products制品,
193
647162
2056
工业产品和消耗品
11:01
you can imagine想像 being存在 able能够 to make
detergents洗涤剂, soaps肥皂, lotions化妆水, etc等等.,
194
649242
4803
你可以想象一下使用这种作物来
11:06
using运用 these types类型 of crops作物.
195
654069
1647
制造洗涤剂,肥皂或洗衣液等等
11:09
Not only are we running赛跑 out of space空间,
196
657382
2880
我们目前不仅仅在渐渐用尽我们的土地
11:12
but if we continue继续 to operate操作
under the status状态 quo现状
197
660286
3168
而且,如果我们还要继续维持在
11:15
with modern现代 agriculture农业,
198
663478
1473
现代农业这一现状中的话
11:16
we run the risk风险 of robbing劫财 our progeny子孙
of a beautiful美丽 planet行星.
199
664975
4650
我们还将使后代失去一个漂亮的地球
11:22
But it doesn't have to be this way.
200
670216
1964
但是我们不必要这么做
11:24
We can imagine想像 a future未来 of abundance丰富.
201
672627
2778
我们可以想象一个富余的未来
11:28
Let us create创建 systems系统 that keep
planet行星 Earth地球, our spaceship飞船,
202
676154
5876
让我们创造这样的系统,
11:34
not only from not crashing轰然,
203
682054
1880
使我们的地球和飞船不仅可以免受冲撞,
11:36
but let us also develop发展 systems系统
and ways方法 of living活的
204
684410
4130
而且还让我可以研发出生存的系统和方式
11:40
that will be beneficial有利
to the lives生活 of ourselves我们自己
205
688564
4158
那将有利于我们自己的生存
11:44
and the 10 billion十亿 that will
be on this planet行星 by 2050.
206
692746
3642
和截止2050年存在的100亿人类的生存
11:48
Thank you very much.
207
696817
