Šumi koju posade ljudi, te onda prepuštenoj prirodi, uglavnom treba najmanje 100 godina da sazrije. Ali što ako možemo taj proces ubrzati 10 puta? U ovom kratkom govoru, eko poduzetnik (i TED Fellow) Shubhendu Sharma objašnjava kako napraviti mini-šumski ekosustav bilo gdje.

While working at Toyota,

Tokom rada u Toyoti,
00:22
all I knew was how to make cars
5
10910
1965
sve što sam znao
je bilo kako napraviti aute,
je bilo kako napraviti aute,
00:24
until I met Dr. Akira Miyawaki,
6
12875
2453
dok nisam upoznao doktora Akiru Miyawakija,
00:27
who came to our factory to make a forest in it
7
15328
3183
koji je došao u našu tvornicu
kako bi posadio šumu u njoj
kako bi posadio šumu u njoj
00:30
in order to make it carbon-neutral.
8
18511
2835
i napravio ju ugljični neutralnom.
00:33
I was so fascinated
9
21346
1874
Bio sam tako fasciniran
00:35
that I decided to learn this methodology
10
23220
2446
da sam odlučio naučiti tu metodologiju
00:37
by joining his team as a volunteer.
11
25666
2891
te sam se pridružio
njegovom timu kao volonter.
njegovom timu kao volonter.
00:40
Soon, I started making a forest
12
28557
1822
Uskoro sam počeo praviti šumu
00:42
in the backyard of my own house,
13
30379
2464
u vrtu moje kuće,
00:44
and this is how it looks after three years.
14
32843
3933
a ovo je kako izgleda nakon tri godine.
00:48
These forests,
15
36776
1134
Ove šume,
00:49
compared to a conventional plantation,
16
37910
2050
u usporedbi sa
konvencionalnom proizvodnjom,
konvencionalnom proizvodnjom,
00:51
grow 10 times faster,
17
39960
2422
rastu 10 puta brže,
00:54
they're 30 times more dense,
18
42382
2587
one su 30 puta gušće,
00:56
and 100 times more biodiverse.
19
44969
3971
i 100 puta više bioraznolike.
01:00
Within two years of having this forest in our backyard,
20
48940
2860
U dvije godine otkako imam
tu šumu u našem vrtu,
tu šumu u našem vrtu,
01:03
I could observe that the groundwater
21
51800
1944
mogao sam promatrati da podzemne vode
01:05
didn't dry during summers,
22
53744
1879
nisu presušile preko ljeta,
01:07
the number of bird species I spotted in this area
23
55623
2857
a broj ptica koje sam uočio u tom području
01:10
doubled.
24
58480
1170
se udvostručio.
01:11
Quality of air became better,
25
59650
1376
Kvaliteta zraka je postala bolja,
01:13
and we started harvesting seasonal fruits
26
61026
2561
a mi smo počeli žeti sezonsko voće,
01:15
growing effortlessly
27
63587
1732
koje je raslo bez napora
01:17
right in the backyard of our house.
28
65319
2611
upravo u vrtu naše kuće.
01:19
I wanted to make more of these forests.
29
67930
2317
Želio sam uzgojiti više ovakvih šuma.
01:22
I was so moved by these results
30
70247
1418
Bio sam tako ganut ovim rezultatima
01:23
that I wanted to make these forests
31
71665
2024
da sam želio saditi ove šume
01:25
with the same acumen with which we make cars
32
73689
2790
sa istom sposobnošću sa kojom radimo aute
01:28
or write software or do any mainstream business,
33
76479
3420
ili pišemo softvere ili radimo bilo koji od ključnih poslova,
01:31
so I founded a company
34
79899
1844
pa sam osnovao tvrtku
01:33
which is an end-to-end service provider
35
81743
1847
koja je obuhvatni davatelj usluga
01:35
to create these native natural forests.
36
83590
3345
da stvori ove domaće, prirodne šume.
01:38
But to make afforestation as a mainstream business
37
86935
3195
Ali kako bi pošumljavanje
postalo glavni posao
postalo glavni posao
01:42
or an industry, we had to standardize
38
90130
2159
ili industrija, morali smo standardizirati
01:44
the process of forest-making.
39
92289
1913
proces izrade šuma.
01:46
So we benchmarked the Toyota Production System
40
94202
2700
Tako smo usporedili
Toyotin sustav proizvodnje,
Toyotin sustav proizvodnje,
01:48
known for its quality and efficiency
41
96902
3014
poznat po svojoj kvaliteti i učinkovitosti
01:51
for the process of forest-making.
42
99916
1933
sa procesom stvaranja šuma.
01:53
For an example, the core of TPS,
43
101849
2562
Na primjer, srž TPS-a,
01:56
Toyota Production System, lies in heijunka,
44
104411
3340
Toyota Production System, leži u heijunki,
01:59
which is making manufacturing
45
107751
1590
koja radi proizvodnju
02:01
of different models of cars
46
109341
2449
različitih modela auta
02:03
on a single assembly line.
47
111790
2091
na jednoj pokretnoj traci.
02:05
We replaced these cars with trees,
48
113881
2846
Ove aute smo zamijenili stablima,
02:08
using which now we can make multi-layered forests.
49
116727
2923
koje sada koristimo
i možemo napraviti više-slojevite šume.
i možemo napraviti više-slojevite šume.
02:11
These forests utilize 100 percent vertical space.
50
119650
3568
Ove šume iskorištavaju 100 posto
vertikalnog prostora.
vertikalnog prostora.
02:15
They are so dense
51
123218
749
Tako su guste
02:15
that one can't even walk into them.
52
123967
3549
da nitko ne može ni ući u njih.
02:19
For an example, we can make a 300-tree forest
53
127516
3234
Na primjer, mi možemo napraviti
šumu od 300 stabala
šumu od 300 stabala
02:22
in an area as small as the parking spaces of six cars.
54
130750
4454
na području malom kao što je
parkirno mjesto za 6 auta.
parkirno mjesto za 6 auta.
02:27
In order to reduce cost and our own carbon footprint,
55
135204
4080
Kako bi smanjili troškove
i naš vlastiti ugljični otisak,
i naš vlastiti ugljični otisak,
02:31
we started utilizing local biomass
56
139284
1995
počeli smo iskorištavati lokalnu biomasu
02:33
as soil amender and fertilizers.
57
141279
2767
kao dopunu tlu i kao gnojivo.
02:36
For example, coconut shells crushed in a machine
58
144046
2768
Na primjer, ljuske kokosa
strojno smljevene
strojno smljevene
02:38
mixed with rice straw,
59
146814
3623
pomiješane sa rižinom slamom,
02:42
powder of rice husk mixed with organic manure
60
150437
3603
prah rižine ljuske pomiješan
sa organskim gnojivom
sa organskim gnojivom
02:46
is finally dumped in soil on which
61
154040
2281
je napokon bačen na tlo na kojem
02:48
our forest is planted.
62
156321
1337
je naša šuma posađena.
02:49
Once planted, we use grass or rice straw
63
157658
3229
Nakon što ju posadimo,
iskoristimo travu ili rižinu slamu
iskoristimo travu ili rižinu slamu
02:52
to cover the soil
64
160887
1732
da pokrijemo tlo
02:54
so that all the water which goes into irrigation
65
162619
2554
tako da sva voda koja
odlazi u navodnjavanje
odlazi u navodnjavanje
02:57
doesn't get evaporated back into the atmosphere.
66
165173
2693
ne ispari natrag u atmosferu.
02:59
And using these simple improvisations,
67
167866
1930
Koristeći ove jednostavne improvizacije,
03:01
today we can make a forest
68
169796
1699
danas možemo napraviti šumu
03:03
for a cost as low as the cost of an iPhone.
69
171495
3866
za cijenu jednog iPhone-a.
03:07
Today, we are making forests in houses,
70
175361
2453
Danas, radimo šume u kućama,
03:09
in schools, even in factories with the corporates.
71
177814
4068
u školama, pa čak i u tvornicama
s trgovačkim društvima.
s trgovačkim društvima.
03:13
But that's not enough.
72
181882
1978
Ali to nije dovoljno.
03:15
There is a huge number of people
73
183860
1952
Velik je broj ljudi
03:17
who want to take matters into their own hands.
74
185812
2869
koji žele uzeti stvari u svoje ruke.
03:20
So we let it happen.
75
188681
1864
Pa dopustimo da se to dogodi.
03:22
Today, we are working on an Internet-based platform
76
190545
4240
Danas, mi radimo na
platformi baziranoj na Internetu
platformi baziranoj na Internetu
03:26
where we are going to share our methodology
77
194785
2577
gdje ćemo podijeliti našu metodologiju
03:29
on an open source
78
197362
1957
na otvorenom izvoru
03:31
using which anyone and everyone
79
199319
1451
gdje netko i svatko
03:32
can make their own forest
80
200770
1510
može napraviti svoje vlastite šume
03:34
without our physical presence being there,
81
202280
2522
bez naše fizičke prisutnosti,
03:36

03:43
By installing a small hardware probe on site,
86
211778
3818
Instaliranjem male hardverske sonde na licu mjesta,
03:47
we can do remote soil testing,
87
215596
2700
možemo raditi daljinsko ispitivanje tla,
03:50
using which we can give step-by-step instructions

03:57
Also we can monitor the growth of this forest
90

2912
Također, možemo pratiti rast te šume
03:59
without being on site.
91
227917

a da nismo na licu mjesta.
04:03
This methodology, I believe,
92

Vjerujem da ova metodologija

ABOUT THE SPEAKER
Shubhendu Sharma - Eco-entrepreneurShubhendu Sharma creates afforestation methods that make it easy to plant maintenance-free, wild and biodiverse forests.
Why you should listen
Industrial engineer Shubhendu Sharma was working at Toyota in India when he met Japanese forest expert Akira Miyawaki, who'd arrived to plant a forest at the factory, using a methodology he'd developed to make a forest grow ten times faster that normal. Fascinated, Sharma interned with Miyawaki, and grew his first successful forest on a small plot behind a house.
Today, his company Afforestt promotes a standardized method for seeding dense, fast-growing, native forests in barren lands, using his car-manufacturing acumen to create a system allowing a multilayer forest of 300 trees to grow on an area as small as the parking spaces of six cars -- for less than the price of an iPhone. Afforestt has helped grow forests at homes, schools and factories. Sharma seen improvement in air quality, an increase in biodiversity -- and the forests even generate fresh fruit. Afforestt is at work on a platform that will offer hardware probes to analyze soil quality, allowing the company to offer step-by-step instructions for anyone who wants to grow a native forest anywhere in the world.
