Shubhendu Sharma: How to grow a tiny forest anywhere

Prevoditelj: Martina Bačić Recezent: Ivan Stamenković

I'm an industrial engineer.

Ja sam industrijski inženjer.

The goal in my life has always been to make

Cilj u mom životu je uvijek bio napraviti

more and more products

više i više proizvoda

in the least amount of time and resources.

u što manjem vremenskom roku i sa malo resursa.

While working at Toyota,

Tokom rada u Toyoti,

all I knew was how to make cars

sve što sam znao je bilo kako napraviti aute,

until I met Dr. Akira Miyawaki,

dok nisam upoznao doktora Akiru Miyawakija,

who came to our factory to make a forest in it

koji je došao u našu tvornicu kako bi posadio šumu u njoj

in order to make it carbon-neutral.

i napravio ju ugljični neutralnom.

I was so fascinated

Bio sam tako fasciniran

that I decided to learn this methodology

da sam odlučio naučiti tu metodologiju

by joining his team as a volunteer.

te sam se pridružio njegovom timu kao volonter.

Soon, I started making a forest

Uskoro sam počeo praviti šumu

in the backyard of my own house,

u vrtu moje kuće,

and this is how it looks after three years.

a ovo je kako izgleda nakon tri godine.

These forests,

Ove šume,

compared to a conventional plantation,

u usporedbi sa konvencionalnom proizvodnjom,

grow 10 times faster,

rastu 10 puta brže,

they're 30 times more dense,

one su 30 puta gušće,

and 100 times more biodiverse.

i 100 puta više bioraznolike.

Within two years of having this forest in our backyard,

U dvije godine otkako imam tu šumu u našem vrtu,

I could observe that the groundwater

mogao sam promatrati da podzemne vode

didn't dry during summers,

nisu presušile preko ljeta,

the number of bird species I spotted in this area

a broj ptica koje sam uočio u tom području

doubled.

se udvostručio.

Quality of air became better,

Kvaliteta zraka je postala bolja,

and we started harvesting seasonal fruits

a mi smo počeli žeti sezonsko voće,

growing effortlessly

koje je raslo bez napora

right in the backyard of our house.

upravo u vrtu naše kuće.

I wanted to make more of these forests.

Želio sam uzgojiti više ovakvih šuma.

I was so moved by these results

Bio sam tako ganut ovim rezultatima

that I wanted to make these forests

da sam želio saditi ove šume

with the same acumen with which we make cars

sa istom sposobnošću sa kojom radimo aute

or write software or do any mainstream business,

ili pišemo softvere ili radimo bilo koji od ključnih poslova,

so I founded a company

pa sam osnovao tvrtku

which is an end-to-end service provider

koja je obuhvatni davatelj usluga

to create these native natural forests.

da stvori ove domaće, prirodne šume.

But to make afforestation as a mainstream business

Ali kako bi pošumljavanje postalo glavni posao

or an industry, we had to standardize

ili industrija, morali smo standardizirati

the process of forest-making.

proces izrade šuma.

So we benchmarked the Toyota Production System

Tako smo usporedili Toyotin sustav proizvodnje,

known for its quality and efficiency

poznat po svojoj kvaliteti i učinkovitosti

for the process of forest-making.

sa procesom stvaranja šuma.

For an example, the core of TPS,

Na primjer, srž TPS-a,

Toyota Production System, lies in heijunka,

Toyota Production System, leži u heijunki,

which is making manufacturing

koja radi proizvodnju

of different models of cars

različitih modela auta

on a single assembly line.

na jednoj pokretnoj traci.

We replaced these cars with trees,

Ove aute smo zamijenili stablima,

using which now we can make multi-layered forests.

koje sada koristimo i možemo napraviti više-slojevite šume.

These forests utilize 100 percent vertical space.

Ove šume iskorištavaju 100 posto vertikalnog prostora.

They are so dense

that one can't even walk into them.

Tako su guste

da nitko ne može ni ući u njih.

For an example, we can make a 300-tree forest

Na primjer, mi možemo napraviti šumu od 300 stabala

in an area as small as the parking spaces of six cars.

na području malom kao što je parkirno mjesto za 6 auta.

In order to reduce cost and our own carbon footprint,

Kako bi smanjili troškove i naš vlastiti ugljični otisak,

we started utilizing local biomass

počeli smo iskorištavati lokalnu biomasu

as soil amender and fertilizers.

kao dopunu tlu i kao gnojivo.

For example, coconut shells crushed in a machine

Na primjer, ljuske kokosa strojno smljevene

mixed with rice straw,

pomiješane sa rižinom slamom,

powder of rice husk mixed with organic manure

prah rižine ljuske pomiješan sa organskim gnojivom

is finally dumped in soil on which

je napokon bačen na tlo na kojem

our forest is planted.

je naša šuma posađena.

Once planted, we use grass or rice straw

Nakon što ju posadimo, iskoristimo travu ili rižinu slamu

to cover the soil

da pokrijemo tlo

so that all the water which goes into irrigation

tako da sva voda koja odlazi u navodnjavanje

doesn't get evaporated back into the atmosphere.

ne ispari natrag u atmosferu.

And using these simple improvisations,

Koristeći ove jednostavne improvizacije,

today we can make a forest

danas možemo napraviti šumu

for a cost as low as the cost of an iPhone.

za cijenu jednog iPhone-a.

Today, we are making forests in houses,

Danas, radimo šume u kućama,

in schools, even in factories with the corporates.

u školama, pa čak i u tvornicama s trgovačkim društvima.

But that's not enough.

Ali to nije dovoljno.

There is a huge number of people

Velik je broj ljudi

who want to take matters into their own hands.

koji žele uzeti stvari u svoje ruke.

So we let it happen.

Pa dopustimo da se to dogodi.

Today, we are working on an Internet-based platform

Danas, mi radimo na platformi baziranoj na Internetu

where we are going to share our methodology

gdje ćemo podijeliti našu metodologiju

on an open source

na otvorenom izvoru

using which anyone and everyone

gdje netko i svatko

can make their own forest

može napraviti svoje vlastite šume

without our physical presence being there,

bez naše fizičke prisutnosti,

using our methodology.

koristeći našu metodologiju.

At the click of a button,

Klikom gumba,

they can get to know all the native species

oni mogu saznati sve o domaćim vrstama

of their place.

njihovog mjesta.

By installing a small hardware probe on site,

Instaliranjem male hardverske sonde na licu mjesta,

we can do remote soil testing,

možemo raditi daljinsko ispitivanje tla,

using which we can give step-by-step instructions

sa kojim možemo davati instrukcije, korak-po-korak,

on forest-making remotely.

o gradnji šuma daljinski.

Also we can monitor the growth of this forest

Također, možemo pratiti rast te šume

without being on site.

a da nismo na licu mjesta.

This methodology, I believe,

Vjerujem da ova metodologija

has a potential.

ima potencijala.

By sharing, we can actually bring back our native forests.

Dijeleći, mi ustvari možemo vratiti naše domaće šume.

Now, when you go back home,

Sada, kada otiđete svojim kućama,

if you see a barren piece of land,

ako vidite neplodan komad zemlje,

do remember that it can be a potential forest.

zapamtite da on može biti potencijalna šuma.

Thank you very much. Thanks.

Hvala vam puno. Hvala.

(Applause)
