Imagine想像 you are a part部分
of a crew船員 of astronauts宇航員
0

4442
想像你是太空人團隊的一員,
00:18
traveling旅行 to Mars火星 or some distant遙遠 planet行星.
1
6124
3152
正前往火星或某個遙遠的星球。
00:21
The travel旅行 time could take a year
2
9854
3032
旅行時間可能需要一年
00:24
or even longer.
3
12910
1469
或甚至更長。
00:26
The space空間 on board and the resources資源
4
14836
2937
太空艙的空間和資源有限。
00:29
would be limited有限.
5
17797
1540
00:31
So you and the crew船員 would have
to figure數字 out how to produce生產 food餐飲
6
19361
4587
所以,你和組員必須有
以最小的投入來生產食物的方法。
00:35
with minimal最小 inputs輸入.
7
23972
1459
00:38
What if you could bring帶來 with you
just a few少數 packets of seeds種子,
8
26169
3877
如果你只能帶幾包種子,
00:42
and grow增長 crops作物 in a matter of hours小時?
9
30965
3399
並且在幾個小時內種出農作物來?
00:46
And what if those crops作物
would then make more seeds種子,
10
34914
3437
如果這些作物生出更多的種子,
00:50
enabling啟用 you to feed飼料 the entire整個 crew船員
11
38375
3054
使你可以僅用最初的那幾包種子,
在旅程上充分供食給全體組員?
00:53
with just those few少數 packets of seeds種子
for the duration持續時間 of the trip?
12
41453
3762
00:58
Well, the scientists科學家們 at NASANASA actually其實
figured想通 out a way to do this.
13
46465
4286
美國太空總署的科學家已想出辦法。
01:03
What they came來了 up with
was actually其實 quite相當 interesting有趣.
14
51546
2643
他們想出了挺有意思的辦法,
01:06
It involved參與 microorganisms微生物,
15
54213
1896
牽涉到微生物,
01:08
which哪一個 are single-celled單細胞 organisms生物.
16
56133
2090
是單細胞有機體,
01:10
And they also used hydrogen from water.
17
58732
2336
而且用到水中的氫。
01:13
The types類型 of microbes微生物 that they used
were called hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs,
18
61511
4088
他們用的微生物
被稱為「嗜氫菌」,
01:17
and with these hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs,
you can create創建 a virtuous carbon cycle週期
19
65623
5290
用這些嗜氫菌就可以
創建一個良性的「碳循環」,
01:22
that would sustain支持 life
onboard在船上 a spacecraft宇宙飛船.
20
70937
2818
足以維持太空船上的生命。
01:26
Astronauts宇航員 would breathe呼吸 out
carbon dioxide二氧化碳,
21
74525
3692
太空人呼出二氧化碳,
01:30
that carbon dioxide二氧化碳 would then
be captured捕獲 by the microbes微生物
22
78241
3801
然後微生物捕獲二氧化碳,
01:34
and converted轉換 into a nutritious有營養,
carbon-rich富碳 crop作物.
23
82066
3555
並轉換成富含營養與碳的作物。
01:38
The astronauts宇航員 would then eat
that carbon-rich富碳 crop作物
24
86287
3591
太空人吃下這些富含碳的作物,
01:41
and exhale the carbon out
in the form形成 of carbon dioxide二氧化碳,
25
89902
3990
以二氧化碳的形式呼出碳來,
01:45
which哪一個 would then be captured捕獲
by the microbes微生物,
26
93916
2224
微生物再度捕獲這些二氧化碳,
01:48
to create創建 a nutritious有營養 crop作物,
27
96164
1635
製造出營養作物,
01:49
which哪一個 then would be exhaled呼出
in the form形成 of carbon dioxide二氧化碳
28
97823
2895
再經由太空人
以二氧化碳的形式呼出來。
01:52
by the astronauts宇航員.
29
100742
1410
01:54
So in this way, a closed-loop閉環
carbon cycle週期 is created創建.
30
102176
3002
如此,形成了封閉的碳循環。
01:57
So why is this important重要?
31
105821
1638
為什麼這很重要?
02:00
We need carbon to survive生存 as humans人類,
32
108158
2174
人類需要碳來維生,
02:02
and we get our carbon from food餐飲.
33
110872
1865
並從食物中獲取碳。
02:05
On a long space空間 journey旅程,
34
113237
1683
在漫長的太空旅程中,
02:06
you simply只是 wouldn't不會 be able能夠 to pick up
any carbon along沿 the way,
35
114944
3319
根本無法沿途取得任何碳,
02:10
so you'd have to figure數字 out
how to recycle回收 it on board.
36
118287
2935
所以必須想辦法在艙裡,
將碳回收再利用。
02:13
This is a clever聰明 solution, right?
37
121817
2445
這是個聰明的解法,對吧?
02:16
But the thing is, that research研究
didn't really go anywhere隨地.
38
124825
3704
但事實上,
這些研究並未獲得實證。
02:20
We haven't沒有 yet然而 gone走了 to Mars火星.
We haven't沒有 yet然而 gone走了 to another另一個 planet行星.
39
128553
3722
我們還沒去過火星,
還沒去過其他的星球。
02:24
And this was actually其實 doneDONE
in the '60s and '70s.
40
132299
2638
這項研究實際上是在
60和70年代完成的。
02:27
So a colleague同事 of mine,
Dr博士. John約翰 Reed蘆葦, and I,
41
135365
3357
我的同事約翰 • 里德博士和我,
02:30
were interested有興趣, actually其實,
in carbon recycling回收 here on Earth地球.
42
138746
3971
對於地球的碳循環很有興趣。
02:34
We wanted to come up
with technical技術 solutions解決方案
43
142741
2231
我們希望對於氣候變遷
提供技術解決方案。
02:36
to address地址 climate氣候 change更改.
44
144996
1760
02:38
And we discovered發現 this research研究
45
146780
2221
透過閱讀60年代已發表的論文
-自1967年以後的論文-
02:41
by reading some papers文件 published發表
in the '60s -- 1967 and later後來 --
46
149025
4410
我們發現了這項研究。
02:45
articles用品 about this work.
47
153469
2799
02:48
And we thought it was a really good idea理念.
48
156292
2078
我們認為這是很棒的主意。
02:50
So we said, well, Earth地球
is actually其實 like a spaceship飛船.
49
158774
3064
地球其實像艘太空船。
02:54
We have limited有限 space空間
and limited有限 resources資源,
50
162370
3412
我們的空間和資源有限,
02:57
and on Earth地球, we really do
need to figure數字 out
51
165806
2183
我們確實需要在地球上找出
更有效的碳回收再利用法。
03:00
how to recycle回收 our carbon better.
52
168013
1895
03:03
So we had the idea理念,
53
171202
2147
因此,我們有個想法:
03:05
can we take some of these
NASA-typeNASA型 ideas思路 and apply應用 them
54
173373
6750
是不是能採用某些太空總署的方法,
來解決地球的碳問題呢?
03:12
to our carbon problem問題 here on Earth地球?
55
180147
2765
03:14
Could we cultivate培育
these NASA-typeNASA型 microbes微生物
56
182936
2632
能不能培養太空總署類的微生物
03:17
in order訂購 to make
valuable有價值 products製品 here on Earth地球?
57
185592
2793
做成對地球有價值的產品呢?
03:21
We started開始 a company公司 to do it.
58
189241
2452
我們成立了公司,來實踐這個想法。
03:23
And in that company公司, we discovered發現
that these hydrogenotrophshydrogenotrophs --
59
191717
4680
我們公司發現這些嗜氫菌
03:28
which哪一個 I'll actually其實 call
nature's大自然 supercharged增壓 carbon recyclers回收 --
60
196421
3937
-我稱它們為大自然的
「超級碳回收員」-
03:32
we found發現 that they are a powerful強大
class of microbes微生物
61
200382
2819
我們發現這些在過去
03:35
that had been largely大部分 overlooked忽視
and understudied充分研究,
62
203225
3828
多半被忽略、缺少研究的
強大微生物,
03:39
and that they could make
some really valuable有價值 products製品.
63
207077
2705
可以被做成極有價值的產品。
03:42
So we began開始 cultivating培育 these products製品,
these microbes微生物, in our lab實驗室.
64
210544
4087
於是我們開始在實驗室裡
培養這些微生物。
03:47
We found發現 that we can make
essential必要 amino氨基 acids from carbon dioxide二氧化碳
65
215115
3855
我們發現能用這些微生物
把二氧化碳製成必需氨基酸。
03:50
using運用 these microbes微生物.
66
218994
1465
03:52
And we even made製作 a protein-rich富含蛋白質 meal膳食
67
220483
3045
我們甚至做出了富含蛋白質的餐點,
03:55
that has an amino氨基 acid profile輪廓
similar類似 to what you might威力 find
68
223552
4471
其中含有類似動物蛋白的氨基酸。
04:00
in some animal動物 proteins蛋白質.
69
228047
1516
04:02
We began開始 cultivating培育 them even further進一步,
70
230523
2410
我們進一步培養它們,
04:04
and we found發現 that we can make oil.
71
232957
1917
發現能製出油來。
04:06
Oils are used to manufacture製造
many許多 products製品.
72
234898
2451
油可用於製造許多產品。
04:09
We made製作 an oil that was similar類似
to a citrus柑橘 oil,
73
237738
3333
我們做出類似柑橘油的油品,
04:13
which哪一個 can be used for flavoring調料
and for fragrances香水,
74
241095
3085
可用於調味和當作香料,
04:16
but it also can be used
as a biodegradable可生物降解 cleaner清潔器
75
244204
2627
也可當作可生物分解的清潔劑,
04:18
or even as a jet噴射 fuel汽油.
76
246855
1484
甚至做為噴射機的燃料。
04:21
And we made製作 an oil
that's similar類似 to palm棕櫚 oil.
77
249236
2391
我們做出了類似棕櫚油的油品。
04:24
Palm棕櫚 oil is used to manufacture製造
78
252065
1960
棕櫚油被用來製成
各式各樣的消費品和工業產品。
04:26
a wide range範圍 of consumer消費者
and industrial產業 goods產品.
79
254049
3308
04:30
We began開始 working加工 with manufacturers製造商
to scale規模 up this technology技術,
80
258873
4742
我們開始與廠商合作,拓展技術,
04:35
and we're currently目前 working加工 with them
81
263639
1807
目前我們正合作
要將一些產品上市。
04:37
to bring帶來 some of these products製品 to market市場.
82
265470
2094
04:40
We believe this type類型 of technology技術
can indeed確實 help us
83
268756
2940
我們相信這一類技術確能幫助我們
04:43
profitably盈利 recycle回收 carbon dioxide二氧化碳
into valuable有價值 products製品 --
84
271720
3350
回收二氧化碳
做成有價值且能獲利的產品,
04:47
something that's beneficial有利
for the planet行星
85
275777
2038
對地球和企業都有益的產品。
04:49
but also beneficial有利 for business商業.
86
277839
1734
04:52
That's what we're doing today今天.
87
280383
1818
這就是我們現今正在做的事情。
04:54
But tomorrow明天, this type類型 of technology技術
and using運用 these types類型 of microbes微生物
88
282225
4230
但未來,這類型的技術
和微生物的應用,
04:58
actually其實 could help us
do something even greater更大
89
286479
2763
可幫助我們成就更大的事業,
05:01
if we take it to the next下一個 level水平.
90
289266
1951
如果我們將它提昇到另一層次。
05:04
We believe that this type類型 of technology技術
91
292045
2418
我們認為這類型的技術,
05:06
can actually其實 help us address地址
an issue問題 with agriculture農業
92
294487
3239
將能幫助我們解決農業問題,
05:09
and allow允許 us to create創建
a type類型 of agriculture農業 that's sustainable可持續發展,
93
297750
4525
建立可永續經營的農業形態,
05:14
that will allow允許 us to scale規模
to meet遇到 the demands需要 of tomorrow明天.
94
302299
3585
擴展產能以滿足未來的需求。
05:18
And why might威力 we need
a sustainable可持續發展 agriculture農業?
95
306585
3045
為何我們需要可永續經營的農業呢?
05:22
Well, actually其實, it is estimated預計
96
310325
2188
事實上,預測顯示:
05:24
that the population人口 will reach達到
about 10 billion十億 by 2050,
97
312537
5237
到2050年,
世界將達到百億人口,
05:29
and we're projecting突出 that we will need
to increase增加 food餐飲 production生產
98
317798
3181
預期我們需增加
70%的糧食產能。
05:33
by 70 percent百分.
99
321003
1572
05:35
In addition加成, we will need many許多 more
resources資源 and raw生的 materials物料
100
323182
3238
此外,我們還需要更多的
資源和原物料,
05:38
to make consumer消費者 goods產品
and industrial產業 goods產品.
101
326444
2533
來製造消費品和工業產品。
05:41
So how will we scale規模 to meet遇到 that demand需求?
102
329571
2663
因此,我們要如何擴展產能
以滿足需求呢?
05:44
Well, modern現代 agriculture農業 simply只是 cannot不能
sustainably可持續 scale規模 to meet遇到 that demand需求.
103
332669
5497
現代農業根本無法持續擴展,
以滿足此一需求。
05:50
There are a number of reasons原因 why.
104
338760
2218
有許多的原因 :
05:53
One of them is that modern現代 agriculture農業
is one of the largest最大 emitters發射器
105
341309
4836
其中一個原因是,現代農業
是最大的溫室氣體排放源之一。
05:58
of greenhouse溫室 gases氣體.
106
346169
1581
05:59
In fact事實, it emits發射 more greenhouse溫室 gases氣體
107
347774
3623
事實上,農業排放的溫室氣體,
06:03
than our cars汽車, our trucks卡車, our planes飛機
108
351421
3104
比我們汽車、卡車、飛機與火車
加總的排放量還要多。
06:06
and our trains火車 combined結合.
109
354549
2436
06:09
Another另一個 reason原因 is that modern現代 ag股份公司
simply只是 takes up a whole整個 lot of land土地.
110
357009
5516
另一原因是,現代農業
使用大量的土地。
06:14
We have cleared清除 19.4 million百萬 square廣場 miles英里
for crops作物 and livestock家畜.
111
362549
6199
我們已用了1,940萬平方英里
的土地來種作物和養牲畜。
06:21
What does that look like?
112
369446
1648
那有多大呢?
06:23
Well, that's roughly大致 the size尺寸
of South America美國 and Africa非洲 combined結合.
113
371118
4891
面積約為南美洲和非洲的總和。
06:29
Let me give you a specific具體 example.
114
377041
2259
讓我給你一個具體的例子。
06:31
In Indonesia印度尼西亞, an amount
of virgin處女 rainforest雨林 was cleared清除
115
379324
4956
在印尼,約當愛爾蘭
面積大小的原始熱帶雨林
06:36
totaling共計 the size尺寸
of approximately Ireland愛爾蘭,
116
384304
3382
在2000至2012年間被剷除。
06:39
between之間 2000 and 2012.
117
387710
2595
06:42
Just think of all
of the species種類, the diversity多樣,
118
390717
3206
試想,在這過程中
所傷害的各式物種與其多樣性,
06:45
that was removed去除 in the process處理,
119
393947
1890
06:47
whether是否 plant life, insects昆蟲
or animal動物 life.
120
395861
2687
無論是植物,昆蟲,或動物。
06:51
And a natural自然 carbon sink水槽
was also removed去除.
121
399145
2649
而且,天然的碳匯也被破壞了。
06:54
So let me make this real真實 for you.
122
402437
1986
讓我為你呈現真實的樣貌。
06:56
This clearing空地 happened發生 primarily主要
to make room房間 for palm棕櫚 plantations種植園.
123
404896
3845
剷除這些雨林地,主要是為了
騰出空間來種植棕櫚樹。
07:01
And as I mentioned提到 before,
124
409399
1375
正如我前面所提到的,
07:02
palm棕櫚 oil is used
to manufacture製造 many許多 products製品.
125
410798
3549
棕櫚油用來製造許多產品。
07:06
In fact事實, it is estimated預計
that over 50 percent百分 of consumer消費者 products製品
126
414371
3927
事實上,估計顯示
超過50%的消費產品
07:10
are manufactured製成的 using運用 palm棕櫚 oil.
127
418322
2389
是以棕櫚油為生產原料。
07:13
And that includes包括 things
like ice cream奶油, cookies餅乾 ...
128
421671
3227
包括:冰淇淋、餅乾、
07:17
It includes包括 cooking烹飪 oils.
129
425506
1867
食用油、
07:19
It also includes包括 detergents洗滌劑,
lotions化妝水, soaps肥皂.
130
427397
3538
清潔劑、乳液、肥皂。
07:23
You and I both
probably大概 have numerous眾多 items項目
131
431594
4079
在你我的廚房和浴室中,
07:28
in our kitchens廚房 and our bathrooms浴室
132
436395
2501
可能都有許多棕櫚油的製成品。
07:30

So you and I are direct直接 beneficiaries受益者
of removed去除 rainforests熱帶雨林.
134

所以,你和我皆是
消失雨林的直接受益者。
07:39
Modern現代 ag股份公司 has some problems問題,
135
447691
2089
現代農業存在一些問題,
07:41
and we need solutions解決方案
if we want to scale規模 sustainably可持續.
136
449804
3474
必須有解決方案才能
擴大和永續經營。
07:47
I believe that microbes微生物
can be a part部分 of the answer回答 --
137
455151
4526
我相信微生物是答案的一部分;
07:51
specifically特別, these supercharged增壓
carbon recyclers回收.
138
459701
3983
尤其是這些超級碳回收員,
07:55
These supercharged增壓 carbon recyclers回收,
139
463708
2522
這些超級碳回收員,
07:58
like plants植物, serve服務 as
the natural自然 recyclers回收
140
466254
4031
像植物一樣,
在它們活躍的生態系統中,
扮演著自然資源回收者的角色。
08:02
in their ecosystems生態系統 where they thrive興旺.
141
470309
2121
08:04
And they thrive興旺 in exotic異國情調 places地方 on Earth地球,
142
472454
2196
它們活躍在地球上特異的地方,
08:06
like hydrothermal熱液 vents通風口 and hot springs彈簧.
143
474674
2451
像是深海溫泉區和溫泉中。
08:09
In those ecosystems生態系統,
they take carbon and recycle回收 it
144
477543
3263
在這些生態系統中,
它們將碳回收再利用,
08:12
into the nutrients營養成分 needed需要
for those ecosystems生態系統.
145
480830
2554
轉換成這些生態系統
所需的養分。
08:15
And they're rich豐富 in nutrients營養成分,
146
483916
1459
而它們含豐富的營養成分,
08:17
such這樣 as oils and proteins蛋白質,
minerals礦物質 and carbohydrates碳水化合物.
147
485399
5205
例如:油、蛋白質、
礦物質,和碳水化合物。
08:24
And actually其實, microbes微生物 are already已經
an integral積分 part部分 of our everyday每天 lives生活.
148
492025
4532
事實上,微生物已是我們
日常生活中不可或缺的一部分。
08:29
If you enjoy請享用 a glass玻璃 of pinot黑比諾 noir黑色
on a Friday星期五 night,
149
497335
4207
如果你喜歡在星期五晚上
喝杯黑皮諾紅酒,
08:33
after a long, hard work week,
150
501566
1944
以犒賞一週工作的辛苦,
08:35
then you are enjoying享受
a product產品 of microbes微生物.
151
503534
2674
那你即是在享受微生物的作品。
08:39
If you enjoy請享用 a beer啤酒
from your local本地 microbrewery釀酒 --
152
507176
2682
若你喜飲本地小酒廠釀製的啤酒,
08:41
a product產品 of microbes微生物.
153
509882
1620
那也是微生物的產物。
08:43
Or bread麵包, or cheese起司, or yogurt酸奶.
154
511526
2949
其他像是麵包、乳酪、優酪乳,
08:47
These are all products製品 of microbes微生物.
155
515060
2050
也都是微生物的產品。
08:49
But the beauty美女 and power功率 associated相關
with these supercharged增壓 carbon recyclers回收
156
517729
5285
但是,這些超級碳回收員的力與美,
08:55
lies in the fact事實 that they can
actually其實 produce生產 in a matter of hours小時
157
523038
5100
在於它們能夠在
短短的數小時內產出產品,
而不是耗費幾個月。
09:00
versus months個月.
158
528162
1326
09:01
That means手段 we can make crops作物
159
529512
1943
這意味著我們可以遠比今日
09:03
much faster更快 than we're making製造 them today今天.
160
531479
3317
更快的速度來生產作物。
09:07
They grow增長 in the dark黑暗,
161
535685
1635
它們毋需陽光生長,
09:09
so they can grow增長 in any season季節
162
537344
2547
所以它們可以在任何季節、
09:11
and in any geography地理 and any location位置.
163
539915
3220
任何區域或地點生長。
09:15
They can grow增長 in containers集裝箱
that require要求 minimal最小 space空間.
164
543159
3612
它們可以在極小的容器中生長。
09:19
And we can get to a type類型
of vertical垂直 agriculture農業.
165
547562
3954
我們可以進行垂直型農業。
09:23
Instead代替 of our traditional傳統
horizontal agriculture農業
166
551540
2657
不同於我們傳統的水平型農業,
09:26
that requires要求 so much land土地,
167
554221
1729
垂直型所需的土地不多,
09:27
we can scale規模 vertically垂直,
168
555974
1577
可垂直擴展,
09:29
and as a result結果
produce生產 much more product產品 per area.
169
557571
5636
結果是每單位面積
能生產更多的產品。
09:36
If we implement實行 this type類型 of approach途徑
and use these carbon recyclers回收,
170
564187
4464
如果施行這類型的農法,
並且使用這些碳回收員,
09:40
then we wouldn't不會 have to remove去掉
any more rainforests熱帶雨林
171
568675
3296
就毋需砍伐更多的熱帶雨林,
09:43
to make the food餐飲 and the goods產品
that we consume消耗.
172
571995
3434
來供給我們的食品與貨物的消耗。
09:48
Because, at a large scale規模,
173
576524
2213
因為,若大規模生產,
09:50
you can actually其實 make 10,000 times
more output產量 per land土地 area
174
578761
5308
每單位土地面積將有萬倍的產出;
09:56
than you could -- for instance,
if you used soybeans大豆 --
175
584093
3155
例如,如果種植大豆,
09:59
if you planted種植的 soybeans大豆
on that same相同 area of land土地
176
587272
3060
在同一塊土地上種植一年後,
10:02
over a period of a year.
177
590356
1444
10:04
Ten thousand times
over a period of a year.
178
592531
2269
一年會有一萬倍的產出。
10:08
So this is what I mean
by a new type類型 of agriculture農業.
179
596300
3559
這是我要傳達的新型農業,
10:12
And this is what I mean
by developing發展 a system系統
180
600613
3308
是個能夠永續經營,
10:15
that allows允許 us to sustainably可持續 scale規模
to meet遇到 the demands需要 of 10 billion十億.
181
603945
4894
滿足百億人口需求的農業。
10:22
And what would be the products製品
of this new type類型 of agriculture農業?
182
610704
3595
這種新型農業
生產什麼樣的產品呢?
10:26
Well, we've我們已經 already已經 made製作 a protein蛋白 meal膳食,
183
614323
2183
我們已經做出了蛋白粉,
10:28
so you can imagine想像 something
similar類似 to a soybean黃豆 meal膳食,
184
616530
3263
所以不難想像
我們可做出類似大豆粉、
10:31
or even cornmeal棒子麵, or wheat小麥 flour麵粉.
185
619817
1943
玉米粉或甚至麵粉。
10:34
We've我們已經 already已經 made製作 oils,
186
622203
1353
我們已做出油,
10:35
so you can imagine想像 something
similar類似 to coconut椰子 oil
187
623580
3678
所以不難想像
亦可做出類似於椰子油、
10:39
or olive橄欖 oil or soybean黃豆 oil.
188
627282
2014
橄欖油,或大豆油的東西。
10:42
So this type類型 of crop作物 can
actually其實 produce生產 the nutrients營養成分
189
630042
4238
這類型的作物真能產生營養成分,
10:46
that would give us pasta意大利面 and bread麵包,
190
634304
2295
供應我們麵條、麵包、
10:48
cakes蛋糕, nutritional營養 items項目 of many許多 sorts排序.
191
636623
3126
蛋糕,和許多種類的營養品。
10:52
Furthermore此外, since以來 oil is used
to manufacture製造 multiple other goods產品,
192
640226
6912
此外,因為油被廣泛用來
製造許多其他商品、
10:59
industrial產業 products製品 and consumer消費者 products製品,
193
647162
2056
工業產品和消費類產品,
11:01
you can imagine想像 being存在 able能夠 to make
detergents洗滌劑, soaps肥皂, lotions化妝水, etc等等.,
194
649242
4803
可想像用這類作物來製造
清潔劑、肥皂、乳液等。
11:06
using運用 these types類型 of crops作物.
195
654069
1647
11:09
Not only are we running賽跑 out of space空間,
196
657382
2880
總而言之,不僅地球
所剩的空間有限,
11:12
but if we continue繼續 to operate操作
under the status狀態 quo現狀
197
660286
3168
若我們繼續以現狀施行農法,
11:15
with modern現代 agriculture農業,
198
663478
1473
11:16
we run the risk風險 of robbing劫財 our progeny子孫
of a beautiful美麗 planet行星.
199
664975
4650
我們將面臨剝奪後代
擁有美麗地球的風險。
11:22
But it doesn't have to be this way.
200
670216
1964
但是毋需這樣,
11:24
We can imagine想像 a future未來 of abundance豐富.
201
672627
2778
我們可以想像豐饒的未來。
11:28
Let us create創建 systems系統 that keep
planet行星 Earth地球, our spaceship飛船,
202
676154
5876
讓我們創造一個不僅讓地球
-我們的太空船-
11:34
not only from not crashing轟然,
203
682054
1880
免於崩潰的系統,
11:36
but let us also develop發展 systems系統
and ways方法 of living活的
204
684410
4130
也發展益於我們自己、
11:40
that will be beneficial有利
to the lives生活 of ourselves我們自己
205
688564
4158
益於2050年後的百億地球人
11:44
and the 10 billion十億 that will
be on this planet行星 by 2050.
206
692746
3642
所生存的生活方式與系統。
11:48
Thank you very much.
207
696817
