Shubhendu Sharma: How to grow a tiny forest anywhere

Prevodilac: Ivana Krivokuća Lektor: Mile Živković

I'm an industrial engineer.

Ja sam industrijski inženjer.

The goal in my life has always been to make

Moj cilj u životu je oduvek bio da pravim

more and more products

što više i više proizvoda

in the least amount of time and resources.

sa što manje vremena i resursa.

While working at Toyota,

Dok sam radio u Tojoti,

all I knew was how to make cars

jedino što sam znao je da pravim automobile

until I met Dr. Akira Miyawaki,

dok nisam upoznao dr Akiru Mijavakija,

who came to our factory to make a forest in it

koji je došao u našu fabriku da napravi šumu u njoj

in order to make it carbon-neutral.

kako bi je učinio ugljenik-neutralnom.

I was so fascinated

Bio sam toliko fasciniran

that I decided to learn this methodology

da sam odlučio da naučim ovu metodologiju

by joining his team as a volunteer.

pristupivši njegovom timu kao volonter.

Soon, I started making a forest

Uskoro sam počeo da pravim šumu

in the backyard of my own house,

u dvorištu iza svoje kuće,

and this is how it looks after three years.

i ovako izgleda posle tri godine.

These forests,

Ove šume,

compared to a conventional plantation,

u poređenju sa konvencionalnom sadnjom,

grow 10 times faster,

rastu 10 puta brže,

they're 30 times more dense,

30 puta su gušće,

and 100 times more biodiverse.

i 100 puta bioraznovrsnije.

Within two years of having this forest in our backyard,

Tokom 2 godine od kada imamo ovu šumu u našem dvorištu,

I could observe that the groundwater

primetio sam da se podzemne vode

didn't dry during summers,

nisu sušile tokom leta,

the number of bird species I spotted in this area

da se broj vrsta ptica koje primećujem u ovoj oblasti

doubled.

udvostručio.

Quality of air became better,

Kvalitet vazduha je postao bolji

and we started harvesting seasonal fruits

i počeli smo da ubiramo sezonsko voće

growing effortlessly

koje raste bez napora

right in the backyard of our house.

upravo u dvorištu naše kuće.

I wanted to make more of these forests.

Želeo sam da pravim još ovakvih šuma.

I was so moved by these results

Bio sam tako dirnut ovim rezultatima

that I wanted to make these forests

da sam želeo da napravim ove šume

with the same acumen with which we make cars

sa istom oštroumnošću sa kojom pravimo automobile

or write software or do any mainstream business,

ili programiramo softver ili radimo bilo koji mejnstrim posao,

so I founded a company

pa sam osnovao firmu

which is an end-to-end service provider

koja pruža usluge od početka do kraja

to create these native natural forests.

za stvaranje ovih domaćih prirodnih šuma.

But to make afforestation as a mainstream business

Ali da bi napravili od pošumljavanja mejnstrim posao

or an industry, we had to standardize

ili delatnost, morali smo da standardizujemo

the process of forest-making.

proces pravljenja šuma.

So we benchmarked the Toyota Production System

Tako smo pošli od Tojotinog proizvodnog sistema

known for its quality and efficiency

poznatog po svom kvalitetu i efikasnosti

for the process of forest-making.

za proces pravljenja šuma.

For an example, the core of TPS,

Na primer, srž TPS-a,

Toyota Production System, lies in heijunka,

Tojotinog proizvodnog sistema, leži u nivelisanju,

which is making manufacturing

a to znači proizvoditi

of different models of cars

različite modele automobila

on a single assembly line.

na jednoj traci.

We replaced these cars with trees,

Zamenili smo te automobile drvećem,

using which now we can make multi-layered forests.

čijim korišćenjem sada možemo napraviti višeslojne šume.

These forests utilize 100 percent vertical space.

Ove šume koriste 100 posto vertikalnog prostora.

They are so dense

that one can't even walk into them.

Toliko su guste

da se ne može proći proz njih.

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

Na primer, možemo napraviti šumu od 300 drveća

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

u oblasti maloj kao što je parkiralište za šest automobila.

In order to reduce cost and our own carbon footprint,

U cilju smanjenja troškova i naše emisije ugljen-dioksida,

we started utilizing local biomass

počeli smo da koristimo lokalnu biomasu

as soil amender and fertilizers.

kao poboljšivač zemljišta i đubrivo.

For example, coconut shells crushed in a machine

Na primer, ljuske kokosa smrvljene u mašini

mixed with rice straw,

pomešane sa slamom pirinča,

powder of rice husk mixed with organic manure

prah pirinčanih ljuspica pomešan sa organskim đubrivom

is finally dumped in soil on which

konačno se baca na zemljište na kome

our forest is planted.

se sadi naša šuma.

Once planted, we use grass or rice straw

Kada je zasađena, koristimo travu ili slamu pirinča

to cover the soil

da prekrijemo zemljište

so that all the water which goes into irrigation

tako da sva voda koja ulazi u navodnjavanje

doesn't get evaporated back into the atmosphere.

ne ispari nazad 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 toliko nisku cenu kao što je cena Ajfona.

Today, we are making forests in houses,

Danas, pravimo šume u kućama,

in schools, even in factories with the corporates.

u školama, čak i u fabrikama sa korporatima.

But that's not enough.

Ali to nije dovoljno.

There is a huge number of people

Postoji ogroman broj ljudi

who want to take matters into their own hands.

koji žele da uzmu stvari u svoje ruke.

So we let it happen.

Tako da mi dozvolimo da se to ostvari.

Today, we are working on an Internet-based platform

Danas, radimo na internet platformi

where we are going to share our methodology

gde ćemo podeliti našu metodologiju

on an open source

kao otvoreni izvor

using which anyone and everyone

pomoću koga svako i bilo ko

can make their own forest

može napraviti sopstvenu šumu

without our physical presence being there,

bez našeg fizičkog prisustva,

using our methodology.

koristeći našu metodologiju.

At the click of a button,

Pritiskom dugmeta,

they can get to know all the native species

mogu upoznati sve domaće vrste

of their place.

svog mesta.

By installing a small hardware probe on site,

Instaliranjem male hardverske sonde na licu mesta,

we can do remote soil testing,

možemo da obavimo testiranje zemljišta na daljinu,

using which we can give step-by-step instructions

čijim korišćenjem možemo dati instrukcije korak po korak

on forest-making remotely.

za pravljenje šume na daljinu.

Also we can monitor the growth of this forest

Takođe možemo nagledati rast ove šume

without being on site.

bez prisustva na samom mestu.

This methodology, I believe,

Ova metodologija, smatram,

has a potential.

ima potencijal.

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

Deleći, možemo zaista povratiti naše domaće šume.

Now, when you go back home,

Kada se vratite kući,

if you see a barren piece of land,

ako vidite pusto parče zemlje,

do remember that it can be a potential forest.

setite se da može biti potencijalna šuma.

Thank you very much. Thanks.

Hvala vam puno. Hvala.
