Okay, so welcome to the Future food campus of Hamburg,
- 00:05 - 00:07
I'm going to in four minutes, tell you how I
- 00:07 - 00:08
want to change the world.
- 00:08 - 00:09
Okay, so let's get started.
- 00:09 - 00:13
Um we would like to fuse tradition with innovation.
- 00:14 - 00:16
We believe strongly that that we have to take everything
- 00:17 - 00:20
into consideration when we're talking about our city ecosystem, how
- 00:21 - 00:23
can we produce our food without a carbon footprint?
- 00:23 - 00:25
And how can we do it as a part of
- 00:25 - 00:26
the ecosystem?
- 00:27 - 00:30
So we want to approach it with a regenerative approach.
- 00:30 - 00:34
We want to we want to network and collaborate with
- 00:35 - 00:37
our farmers in the fields outside of the city that
- 00:37 - 00:39
are working with regenerative methods.
- 00:40 - 00:43
We want to be able to put them into our
- 00:43 - 00:47
supply chain, support them within our rural economies and get
- 00:47 - 00:51
their food to the buyers within the city and get
- 00:52 - 00:54
the people within the city to understand that what they're
- 00:55 - 00:57
doing is good for our soils health and it's good
- 00:57 - 01:02
for our biodiversity and we're improving our global warming impact.
- 01:03 - 01:06
So in order to fuse and get the most out
- 01:06 - 01:08
of it, we need to use our supply chain with
- 01:08 - 01:12
all of our new technologies from digitalization IOT Ai we
- 01:13 - 01:17
can get a better lower resource consumption and do less
- 01:17 - 01:20
damage to our to to our environment.
- 01:21 - 01:24
Now we envision also a type of a center where
- 01:24 - 01:26
we cannot only do R.
- 01:26 - 01:26
And D.
- 01:27 - 01:30
Production but use it as an entertainment facility and there
- 01:31 - 01:33
we can show new food technologies, those that are really
- 01:34 - 01:36
going to make a big impact on our global system
- 01:37 - 01:40
and what we can change because when we're thinking we
- 01:41 - 01:45
have to think locally, we need to think globally and
- 01:45 - 01:48
act locally and that's what we want to do with
- 01:48 - 01:48
our center.
- 01:48 - 01:51
We want to show people and make them understand where
- 01:51 - 01:52
their food comes from, what it's about.
- 01:53 - 01:56
We want to offer them clean good alternatives that don't
- 01:57 - 01:59
hurt our environment in order to do that.
- 02:00 - 02:01
We need a holistic infrastructure plan.
- 02:02 - 02:03
It is a complex one.
- 02:04 - 02:06
There are many things on this list that we have
- 02:06 - 02:10
taken into considerations were trying to fuse together our new
- 02:10 - 02:12
food technologies with green technologies.
- 02:13 - 02:16
It's not only what we produce, it's how we produce
- 02:16 - 02:18
it. Can we emulate nature?
- 02:18 - 02:22
Can we do it without a carbon footprint with a
- 02:22 - 02:25
certain type of waste water management and optimize our technologies.
- 02:26 - 02:30
There are engineers and engineering systems in the world and
- 02:30 - 02:32
even in Germany that are doing that to this day,
- 02:32 - 02:35
how can we do that for our city of Hamburg?
- 02:35 - 02:37
How can we take the green energy?
- 02:38 - 02:41
We source it, we store it and use it in
- 02:41 - 02:44
the best way possible to produce food out of it.
- 02:45 - 02:49
There are all kinds of clean tech, ambient and rainwater
- 02:49 - 02:53
harvesting. We have reduction of waste that we need to
- 02:53 - 02:58
incorporate many of these engineering technologies into our system to
- 02:58 - 03:00
produce our food within the center.
- 03:00 - 03:05
Now we have to think with systems design because we're
- 03:05 - 03:07
part of an ecosystem and I hate to tell you
- 03:08 - 03:09
look at us from above, we're all moving around in
- 03:10 - 03:10
a Petri dish.
- 03:10 - 03:11
We're moving around in Hamburg.
- 03:12 - 03:15
How can we fuse our traditional methods of producing food
- 03:16 - 03:19
so we eat to survive and taking new technologies to
- 03:19 - 03:22
make something exciting for our city.
- 03:22 - 03:23
How can we do it?
- 03:24 - 03:26
We take a controlled environment within that controlled environments.
- 03:27 - 03:29
And I should feel, oh my God, for example, vertical
- 03:30 - 03:32
farming, you have 30 harvests a year instead of three,
- 03:33 - 03:36
you have 97% less water resources that you need.
- 03:37 - 03:39
You're giving the plant exactly what it needs in a
- 03:39 - 03:43
plant recipe and you don't have extenuating circumstances with the
- 03:43 - 03:48
weather. When we're using precision fermentation, we're moving from microbial
- 03:49 - 03:56
production to produce cheeses to produce food, dairy meat, algae
- 03:57 - 04:00
is also uh and and we can also from a
- 04:00 - 04:04
cell from an animal create real meat so people can
- 04:04 - 04:07
have their meat and not eat the cow to so
- 04:08 - 04:10
again, our regenerative environment.
- 04:10 - 04:11
Very important.
- 04:11 - 04:14
And it is a big part of our regenerative city
- 04:15 - 04:19
ecosystem. We can optimize optimize our indoor food production with
- 04:20 - 04:25
a holistic infrastructure design using renewable energy and we can
- 04:25 - 04:27
make a better city for everyone to live in.
- 04:28 - 04:28
Thank you.
