Joel Salatin: Can We Feed the World?
Вставка

- Estimates indicate that by 2050, at least 9 billion people will inhabit planet
Earth. Food scientists, environmentalists, industry advocates, farmers, and
policymakers disagree about how best to sustain a global food supply. In a lecture at Cornell on Feb. 12, 2015, alternative farmer Joel Salatin articulated a viable, sustainable model that challenges prominent assumptions about what is required to feed the world.
Joel is fantastic. I love his enthusiasm.
Thank you Joel Salatin. You are one of the few sane voices of our time on behalf of free people...
that is an excellent intro to a great American!
Thank you so much for sharing this Cornell! What a great resource.
It is great to see Joel preaching at Cornell.
Thank God for Joel Salatin.
Ignore first 8 minutes. Joel arrives at 7:55
Thanks for saving me 8 minutes!
The NBC poke was fantastic! Love you Joe!
Pre-portable electric fence : While typically not practical for more than a few animals at a time, picket lines were used in the past. Read about it in Laura Ingalls Wilder books, no less ;). Then, over time, u can do divided paddocks. While not portable & adjustable, can move them thru faster or slower, etc. Etc. . British isles had great hedges systems, & idk but probably Europe & elsewhere, much less we really could have adapted to the native americans way of life when we came over, & lived with the Bison & etc. & became migratory.... not blaming them for wanting the familiar villages & farms, but as far as what was possible if we'd been willing, even b4 modern composting & loader tractors, however nice those can be. Anyways, love Joel & his work & thanks !
How about instead of taking 8 minutes to introduce and aggrandize a man who requires no introduction, and testing out all his phrase-isms on the audience before he's even started speaking, you just put a sock in it and let the man talk? Good grief.
AGREED!
Same thing in the google talk. Glad we can simply scan and skip ahead!
Too bad there is such horrible sound on such an interesting lecture! it WILL give you a headache.
not so bad
As far as like India, as questioner said : lots pf people, little land. I'd add: #1- as more deserts get reclaimed in like Palestine, Asia & Africa, the more these people could, ideally, spread out. #2 - along with what Joel said on symbiotic & permaculture being implemented, as it should be everywhere, is integrating homes & most all buildings in w that &, again as should be understood to be the responsible thing to do everywhere, dont pave over or build over any land unneccesarily or unwisley. Then, have living roofs &/or gardens on roofs. 1 person from India I heard comment on something pertaining to this stuff once, said that where she was from in India, she could see where they could be growing producing trees instead of just decorative, & also, actually picking from & utilizing one's already there, being ignored by the apartment dwellers (where she had lived ) who knew no better.
I think the (more farmers) workforce that the student was asking about just materialized this year.
I also wish people would just pay attention to how mamy places are sitting empty. Besides all the facts that oppose the views of : too many people in the world, food aside, & also not enough land, there are ALREADY plotted off farms, homes & 3 season cabin acreages for sale & ALREADY sitting EMPTY by the hundreds in the midwest. Between our little village & the little town ten min. To our east here in northern IL there are several abandoned business on generous sizes grassy lots sitting empty. No farming or food growing being done one it. Smallish & between cornfields & by the highway & often w a fence around it, so, not a lot of wildlife using it either. City slickers listening to the " kill half the people & trust monsanto" heralds, to be glib, don't know this im guessing. Or that many, many people going to the food pantries dont really financially NEED to ( I know several & they spend more on frivolous items than I - & Im not counting an ocaasional morale- boosting $ spent ) & in the case of 1, lets go to waste an awful lot of what they bring home from the pantry & what friends share w them . Thats just an fyi for people out there, for when it comes to statistics used to show hunger issues. Again, I don't know a lot of people, & I know several of the above.
good point. Also true for Germany, especially Eastern states: entirely functioning farm complexes left behind and sold for amazingly little. Some big Ag conglomerate on its land sourcing quest finally drops by, makes the purchase to consequentially manage the farm, the people, animals (?) and crops by prioritizing alignment with "market needs", which you know, speaking for Germany, means Product-cost reduction while ensuring visual quality. Buying organic is not necessarily better for nature, many organic producers intensify operations with equal or even worse impacts as conventional Ag. Various organic labels with differing philosophies and aspirations translate into a broad variance regarding the tolerated ecological impacts caused by production/producers labeled "organic" or "bio".
Hello, i could be interested, but i am not natural english. Could you add auto-subtitles to your vid, plz?
@28:29 Joel starts teaching a class, lol
WHAT WAS THAT SOUND GERM ABOUT,, HE DID IT TWICE.... hail joel.... ignore fools like this
7:50 this is what you're looking for, not the guy that likes to hear his voice
Joel Salatin says that sunlight is converted into biomass. In reality sunlight supplies the energy to help plants draw organic and inorganic elements contained in the soil, water and CO2 into the plant tissue.
Jan Neels Mother earth would be a paradise if Monsanto, World Bank and United Nations would not be allowed to convert it into mono-cultures and GMO hybrids!
Jan Neels Good observation . Joel Salatin was brought to my attention today ... I have no opinion yet but his ego already don't fit in most doorways . Again good point, Peace good sir .
thonburino1 ... ? Do you have a proposition and can you back it up with evidence ? I offer you the chance to exchange ideas politely and scientifically with a real farmer . Peace to you brother
If the sunlight (free energy) wasn't there, that conversion of elements into biomass wouldn't happen. So in essence, he is right. You just sound like you're trying to nitpick.
Jan Neels Joel talks about perennials and annuals and why healthy Forrest and soils have both. One puts more into the soil and one takes from the soil.
If Joel Salatin can respond, what do you think of developing deserts? Is it worth it to develop a permaculture food oasis using ancient water deep in the earth?
Sj Smith Developing deserts? Bullshit! There is water enough to prevent growth of deserts. But multinational companies and geo strategic visions of self appointed 'world leaders' like to monopolize the food production.
thonburino1 Sorry, I don't understand your remarks. Do you agree or disagree with using the water to grow a small oasis?
+Sj Smith Many deserts were created by humans who depleted the ecosystems by cutting down trees and forests, and did grazing in the wrong way with goats and sheep. A food forest can help restart the water cycle, but the viabiIity I guess depends on the location.
look up greening the desert by Geoff Lawton and the restoration of the loess plateau in China.
Sj Smith type in "greening the desert, Geoff Lawton" on UA-cam.
Stop wasting food . . . we discard 1/3rd of the worlds production . . .
Garry Bryan yes! Feed the poor even where they've made it I
Illigal to do so.
I'm putting my hope into new sources of food like vat grown meat, insects like mealworms that turn feed into meat more efficiently than even chickens. Most promising in my opinion is algae due to its incredibly high productivity, being incredibly nutritions too, and ability to grow different strains, some high in protein, others starches, others fats, others sugars, that can be mixed and turned into many different things.
Imagine algae chips that match potato, tortilla and onion chips in deliciousness with an algae dip that's like guacamole and high in protein too. It would also be so nutritions that it would provide all needed nutrients and would be so much more enjoyable than multivitamins. Some genetic engineering may also be needed to get the strains to produce nutrients they don't now, like is also being done on rice with golden rice.
Again... what a germ...
I find him to be a bit of a hipocrit as his intensive grazing is supplementd by the purchase of hay and grain, watering everyday as cattle are moved must be a hassle and/or cows are allowed back into previously grazed areas. If you are going to move beef cows everyday, dairy cows produce 4 times the protein annually. You might just as well graze milik cows.
