in some of the most unusual places.

This is where I come from, Todmorden.

这是我的家乡 托德莫登

It's a market town in the north of England,

是英格兰北部的一个城镇

15,000 people, between Leeds and Manchester,

一万五千人口 在利兹和曼彻斯特之间

fairly normal market town.

相当普通的一个城镇

It used to look like this,

这个城镇过去是这样

and now it's more like this,

现在是这样

with fruit and veg and herbs sprouting up all over the place.

水果 蔬菜 草药四处生长

We call it propaganda gardening. (Laughter)

我们称之为宣传式园艺 (笑声)

Corner row railway, station car park,

铁道角落 车站停车场

front of a health center, people's front gardens,

健康中心门口 居民住处门口的花园

and even in front of the police station. (Laughter)

甚至在警察局门口都有 (笑声)

We've got edible canal towpaths,

The soil is extremely good. (Laughter)

We've even invented a new form of tourism.

我们甚至兴起了另一种形式的旅游

It's called vegetable tourism, and believe it or not,

叫做蔬菜旅游 信不信由你

people come from all over the world to poke around in our raised beds,

来自世界各地的人们在我们的沃土闲逛

even when there's not much growing. (Laughter)

尽管有些地方不怎么长植物 (笑声)

But it starts a conversation. (Laughter)

但这引发了探讨 (笑声)

And, you know, we're not doing it because we're bored. (Laughter)

你懂的 我们不做是因为我们已经腻烦了 (笑声)

We're doing it because we want to start a revolution.

而我们做是因为我们要开启一场新的革命

We tried to answer this simple question:

我们试图回答这个简单的问题

Can you find a unifying language that cuts across age

你能找到一种统一的语言 即使跨越时代

and income and culture that will help people themselves

收入和文化却仍然能够帮助人们自己

find a new way of living,

找到一种新的生活方式

see spaces around them differently,

Can we find that language?

And then, can we replicate those actions?

如果可以 我们能复制吗

And the answer would appear to be yes,

答案似乎是肯定的

and the language would appear to be food.

而且这种语言似乎就是食物

So, three and a half years ago, a few of us

三年半之前 我们中一些人

sat around a kitchen table and

坐在厨房餐桌旁边

we just invented the whole thing. (Laughter)

就这样创造了整套玩意 (笑声)

(Applause)

(鼓掌)

We came up with a really simple game plan that we put to a public meeting.

我们想到的一个相当简单易行的计划就公诸于众了

We did not consult. We did not write a report.

我们没有咨询专家 也没有写报告

Enough of all that. (Laughter)

受够那些了 (笑声)

And we said to that public meeting in Todmorden,

我们在托德莫登的一个公共会议上讲述了我们的计划

look, let's imagine that our town

接下来 我们想象下我们的城镇

is focused around three plates:

主要集中在三个板块

a community plate, the way we live our everyday lives;

社区 我们每天生存的地方

a learning plate, what we teach our kids in school

学习板块 我们教我们的孩子

and what new skills we share amongst ourselves;

和我们自我学习技能的地方

and business, what we do with the pound in our pocket

和商业区 我们用我们口袋里的英镑

and which businesses we choose to support.

来投资支持我们选择的生意的区域

Now, let's imagine those plates agitated

现在 我们一起想象下这些区域

with community actions around food.

都被围绕食物的社区行动关联起来

If we start one of those community plates spinning,

如果我们让其中一个板块行动起来

that's really great, that really starts to empower people,

这是相当好的 能够真正地鼓动人们

but if we can then spin that community plate

但如果我们能让一个社区板块带动

with the learning plate, and then spin it with the business plate,

学习板块 接而再带动商业板块

we've got a real show there, we've got some action theater.

我们已经开始了这场秀 我已经着手行动

We're starting to build resilience ourselves.

我们正开始自我适应

We're starting to reinvent community ourselves,

我们正开始重塑社区

and we've done it all without a flipping strategy document.

而且我们做的这些不依赖于任何一纸战略空文

(Applause)

(鼓掌)

And here's the thing as well.

同时我们也在这样开展

We've not asked anybody's permission to do this,

我们没有要求任何一个人的应允来做这件事

we're just doing it. (Laughter)

我们就是开始做了 (笑声)

And we are certainly not waiting for that check

我们在开始之前当然也没有等着

to drop through the letterbox before we start,

信箱里的支票

and most importantly of all, we are not daunted

最重要的是 我们也没有被

by the sophisticated arguments that say,

他们提及的敏感争论而吓倒

"These small actions are meaningless in the face of tomorrow's problems,"

"他们小小行动在未来要面临问题面前毫无意义"

because I have seen the power of small actions,

因为我们见过微小行动力量

and it is awesome.

很了不起

So, back to the public meeting. (Laughter)

好吧 回到公众会议 (笑声)

We put that proposition to the meeting, two seconds,

我们在会议上抛出了我们的提议 两秒钟后

and then the room exploded.

会议室爆棚了

I have never, ever experienced anything like that in my life.

在我生命中我从来没 从没体验过这样的事

And it's been the same in every single room, in every town

而且在每一个城镇的会议室中当我们讲述我们的故事时

that we've ever told our story.

都是一样的情景

People are ready and respond to the story of food.

人们已经准备好回应这个关于食物的故事了

They want positive actions they can engage in,

他们在骨子里想要他们参与的时候

and in their bones, they know it's time

有积极的行动 他们知道这是时候

to take personal responsibility

承担个人责任

and invest in more kindness to each other

把善意向彼此

and to the environment.

和环境中投入

And since we had that meeting three and a half years ago,

自从我们三年半前开展这儿会议以来

it's been a heck of a roller coaster.

真是过山车式的跳跃

We started with a seed swap, really simple stuff,

我们以种子交易开始 很简单的东西

and then we took an area of land, a strip on the side

然后我们采用了一片土地 在主干道的

of our main road, which was a dog toilet, basically,

一边 之前基本上是宠物厕所

and we turned it into a really lovely herb garden.

然后我们把它变成了一片可爱的植物花园

We took the corner of the car park in the station

我们用你们刚刚看到的汽车车站停车场边的角落的土地

that you saw, and we made vegetable beds

做成了菜畦

for everybody to share and pick from themselves.

让每个人可以分享和采摘植物

We went to the doctors. We've just had

我们去了诊所 我们刚刚在托德莫登建设了

a 6-million-pound health center built in Todmorden,

六百万英镑的医疗中心

and for some reason that I cannot comprehend,

某种程度上我不能理解

it has been surrounded by prickly plants. (Laughter)

已经被有刺的植物包围起来了 (笑声)

So we went to the doctors, said, "Would you mind us taking them up?"

我们去医生那时 说介意我们把他们拿起来吗?

They said, "Absolutely fine, provided you get planning permission

他们说: "没问题 假设你们计划许可

and you do it in Latin and you do it in triplicate,"

你们可以在拉丁美洲做 而且把他们翻三倍"

so we did — (Laughter) — and now there are fruit trees

于是我们成功了-(笑声)-现在水果树

and bushes and herbs and vegetables

灌木丛 草本和蔬菜

around that doctor's surgery.

在医生诊所处生长茂盛

And there's been lots of other examples, like the corn

有很多很多这样的例子 像玉米

that was in front of the police station,

长在警察局门口

and the old people's home that we've planted it with food

和老人们的家里 这样我们就能种植

that they can pick and grow.

他们生长采摘

But it isn't just about growing,

但这并不仅仅只是生长

because we all are part of this jigsaw.

因为我们都是拼图玩具的一部分

It's about taking those artistic people in your community

这是关于把社区里有艺术美感的人们带动起来

and doing some fabulous designs in those raised beds

在培育的土壤床上做一些极好的设计

to explain to people what's growing there,

来向人们解释什么生长在这里

because there's so many people that don't really recognize

因为有相当多的人并没意识到

a vegetable unless it's in a bit of plastic

是蔬菜除非在顶部

with a bit of an instruction packet on the top. (Laughter)

有一小小的指示牌写明了 (笑声)

So we have some people who designed these things,

于是我们有很多人来设计这样的东西

"If it looks like this, please don't pick it, but if it looks like this,

“如果是长这样 请勿采摘. 但如果是长这样

help yourself."

请随意"

This is about sharing and investing in kindness.

这是关于分享和善意的投资

And for those people that don't want to do either

同时 对那些不愿意做这些

of those things, maybe they can cook,

或那些事的人们 也许他们可以下厨

so we pick them seasonally and then we go on the street,

所以我们季节性摘菜 然后上街

or in the pub, or in the church,

或进俱乐部 或在教堂

or wherever people are living their lives.

或人们生活的地方

This is about us going to the people and saying,

我们来到大家身边说

"We are all part of the local food jigsaw,

"我们是本地食物拼图的组成部分

we are all part of a solution."

我们都是解决方案的一部分"

And then, because we know we've got vegetable tourists

然后 因为我们知道我们已经有了蔬菜旅客

and we love them to bits and they're absolutely fantastic,

我们很乐意他们吃 让他们感觉相当奇妙

we thought, what could we do to give them an even better experience?

我们在想 我们能做什么才能给他们更好的体验?

So we invented, without asking, of course,

于是我们创造了 当然没有征求他们的意见

the Incredible Edible Green Route.

绝佳的可食蔬菜路线

And this is a route of exhibition gardens,

这是一条花园展览的

and edible towpaths, and bee-friendly sites, and the story

可食的 没有蜜蜂的 承载传粉故事的路线

of pollinators, and it's a route that we designed

是一条我们设计的路线

that takes people through the whole of our town,

带领旅客穿过我们城镇

past our cafes and our small shops, through our market,

路过我们的咖啡馆和小商店 穿过我们的商场

not just to and fro from the supermarket,

不仅仅是从商场的来回地

and we're hoping that, in changing people's footfall

我们希望 在改变人们穿行

around our town, we're also changing their behavior.

我们城镇脚步的同时 我们也在改变着他们的行为

And then there's the second plate, the learning plate.

到这里 就是第二个板块 学习板块

Well, we're in partnership with a high school.

我们在与高校进行合作

We've created a company. We are designing and building

我们成立了一个公司 我们正在设计和建设

an aquaponics unit in some land that was spare

一个在高校后面的空闲土地上的

at the back of the high school, like you do,

鱼菜共生单元 像你们看到的

and now we're going to be growing fish and vegetables

现在我们准备在一个有蜜蜂的果树林里

in an orchard with bees,

同时培育鱼和蔬菜

and the kids are helping us build that,

一些孩子也在帮我们建设

and the kids are on the board, and because the community

孩子也在会议中 因为社区

was really keen on working with the high school,

真的相当投入和高校的合作

the high school is now teaching agriculture,

高校也在教授农业课

and because it's teaching agriculture, we started to think,

由于是在教授农业 我们开始思考

how could we then get those kids that never had a qualification

我们如何能让那些在过去的人生中

before in their lives but are really excited about growing,

从没有过任何资质但对培育十分感兴趣的孩子提供机会

how can we give them some more experience?

我们怎么能给他们更多的经验

So we got some land that was donated

于是我们得到了

by a local garden center.

当地园艺中心捐赠的土地

It was really quite muddy, but in a truly incredible way,

相当潮湿 但是在一种相当惊人的方式下

totally voluntary-led, we have turned that

完全自愿主导的方式下 我们把它变成了

into a market garden training center,

一个市场农艺训练中心

and that is polytunnels and raised beds

那是聚乙烯制温室和培育的温床

and all the things you need to get the soil under your fingers

还有那些你需要用你手指去拨土的工作

and think maybe there's a job in this for me in the future.

我还想或许在未来我可以干这么一个工作

And because we were doing that, some local academics said,

由于我们正在做这个 一些当地学者就说

"You know, we could help design

"你知道 我们可以为你们设计

a commercial horticulture course for you.

一个商业园艺学课程

There's not one that we know of."

这不是个我们都知道的东西"

So they're doing that, and we're going to launch it later this year,

于是他们正在着手做 我们准备在今年晚些时候发布

and it's all an experiment, and it's all voluntary.

这一切都只是个实验 都是自愿的

And then there's the third plate,

这就是第三个板块

because if you walk through an edible landscape,

因为如果你走过一片有东西吃的地方

and if you're learning new skills, and if you start to get

如果你正在学项新的技能 如果你开始

interested in what's growing seasonally,

对这种季节性生长的植物有兴趣

you might just want to spend more of your own money

你可能想要花自己的一部分钱

in support of local producers,

用来支持当地生产者

not just veg, but meat and cheese and beer

不仅仅是蔬菜 而且是肉 奶酪和啤酒

and whatever else it might be.

或者可能是别的什么东西

But then, we're just a community group, you know.

但是说回来 我们只是个社区组织 你们知道的

We're just all volunteers. What could we actually do?

我们只是志愿者 我们事实上能做什么呢?

So we did some really simple things.

于是我们做了些简单的事情

We fundraised, we got some blackboards,

我们募捐 我们得到了些黑板

we put "Incredible Edible" on the top,

我们把"不可思议的可食用"写在最上面

we gave it every market trader that was selling locally,

我们把它发放给每个当地销售的商人

and they scribbled on what they were selling in any one week.

他们在黑板上写每个礼拜卖出的东西

Really popular. People congregated around it.

相当受欢迎 人们围着黑板聚集到一起

Sales were up.

销量提升了

And then, we had a chat with the farmers, and we said,

接着 我们和种植者交流 我们说

"We're really serious about this,"

"我们对这件事情很认真"

but they didn't actually believe us, so we thought,

但他们并不怎么相信我们 于是我们想

okay, what should we do? I know. If we can create

好吧 我们该做什么? 我知道 如果我们能创造出

a campaign around one product and show them

围绕一个产品的活动 然后向他们展示

there is local loyalty to that product,

确实对这种产品有很高的忠诚度

maybe they'll change their mind and see we're serious.

也许就能改变他们的看法 让他们明白我们是认真的

So we launched a campaign -- because it just amuses me --

于是我们举行了一个活动--仅仅是自我娱乐

called Every Egg Matters. (Laughter)

名字叫做"每个鸡蛋都很重要" (笑声)

And what we did was we put people on our egg map.

我们做的是把人们放到我们的鸡蛋图上

we've stuck on there. We started with four,

asking for a local Todmorden egg, and the result of that

was, some farmers upped the amount of flocks they got

一些农民大幅增加了他们得到的

And we're just volunteers and it's only an experiment.

我们只是志愿者 它仅仅只是一项实验。

(Laughter)

(笑声)

Now, none of this is rocket science.

现在 这并不是件复杂的事

It certainly is not clever, and it's not original.

它肯定不算明智 不算原始

But it is joined up, and it is inclusive.

但它接合起来 很具有包容性

This is not a movement for those people
