傳統加工要耗很多人力和時間，
08:14
especially when compared to other grains.
137
482840
2240
相較於其他穀物更是劣勢。
08:20
Well, thankfully, technology has evolved.
138
488720
4000
謝天謝地，科技進化了。
08:25
And there are now machines

現在有機器
08:28
that can process fonio
in a more efficient way.

可以用更有效率的方式
來做非洲全小米加工。

08:31
And as a matter of fact,
141
499800

事實上，
08:34
a few years ago,
142
502200

幾年前，

一位塞內加爾的工程師，
08:38
won a Rolex prize

08:45
Today, such machines are making life

現今，這類機器讓整個

148

1681
能輕鬆許多。
08:54
Another challenge
is the colonial mentality
is the colonial mentality
149
522840
4256
另一個挑戰是殖民心理，
08:59
that what comes from the west is best.
150
527120
2720
覺得來自西方的才是最好的。
09:03
This tendency to look down
on our own products
on our own products
151
531360
3016
這種看輕我們自己產品的傾向，
09:06
and to see crops like fonio
as simply "country peoples' food,"
as simply "country peoples' food,"
152
534400
4336
只將非洲全小米這類作物
視為「鄉下人的食物」
視為「鄉下人的食物」
09:10
therefore substandard,
153

09:12
explains why even though we don't
produce wheat in Senegal traditionally,

154
540640
5136
說明了為什麼雖然
塞內加爾傳統不產小麥，
塞內加爾傳統不產小麥，
09:17
it is far easier to find baguettes

在達卡街頭，要找到法式麵包

09:22
than it is to find any fonio products.
156
550280

非洲全小米產品要容易許多。
09:27
This same mindset popularized
the overprocessed, leftover rice debris

同樣的心態導致過度加工剩餘的

09:45
Soon, broken rice became
a key ingredient in our national dish,

沒多久，壞掉的稻米就成了

「魚肉燉飯」的主要成份，

09:51
replacing our own traditional,

Ironically, the same African rice
despised at home

諷刺的是，在家鄉中
被鄙視的同樣非洲稻米，
被鄙視的同樣非洲稻米，
10:04
was hailed abroad.
166
592000
1416
卻在國外受到歡迎。
10:05
Indeed, during the Atlantic slave trade,
167
593440
4016
的確，在跨大西洋奴隸貿易時，
10:09
this rice became
a major crop in the Americas ...

168
597480
3560
這種稻米變成美洲的主要作物，
10:14
particularly in the Carolinas
169
602560
1536
特別是在卡羅萊納州，
10:16
where it was nicknamed, "Carolina gold."
170
604120
2520
在那裡，它的暱稱是
「卡羅萊納黃金」。
「卡羅萊納黃金」。
10:20
But let's return to fonio.
171
608640
1480
但，回到非洲全小米。
10:23
How can we turn its current status
of "country-people food"
of "country-people food"
172
611840
4496
我們要如何把它目前身為
「鄉下人的食物」的狀況，
「鄉下人的食物」的狀況，
10:28
into a world-class crop?
173
616360
2000
轉變成世界級的作物？
10:32
Last year,

And we got a large

1816
一起到西非，
10:53
to explore the supply chain's viability.
181
641800
2480
來評估供應鏈的可行性。
10:58
We found ourselves
observing manual operations

651360
2336
人工作業，
11:05
with few controls over quality.
184
653720
1960
發現品質管制做得很少。
11:08
So we started focusing
on processing issues.

185
656800
2960
所以我們開始把焦點放在
加工處理的議題上。
加工處理的議題上。
11:12
We drew up a vision
186
660960
1696
我們擬了一個遠景，

with a beneficial and commercially
sustainable supply chain for fonio,

Walking backwards from the market,
here is what it looks like.

從市場反向走回來，
看起來是這個樣子的。

11:29
Imagine that fonio

192
683920

Fonio touted on the levels of cereals,
193
689320
3056
非洲全小米被販售的層級
提高到如穀類加工食品、麵包、

197
698120
1640
零食──為什麼不？
11:52
It's easier to say than quinoa.
198

To get there,

為了做到那樣，
12:05
fonio needs to be readily available
202
713600
2416
非洲全小米需要準備好能夠以

1736
供應做商業使用，
12:21
you need a commercial-scale fonio mill
208

你就需要一個商業規模的

12:56
unless they devote

In our vision,

在我們的遠景中，
13:04
the mill will take on those tasks,
