And since we had that meeting three and a half years ago,
自從我們?nèi)臧肭伴_展這兒會(huì)議以來
it's been a heck of a roller coaster.
真是過山車式的跳躍
We started with a seed swap, really simple stuff,
我們以種子交易開始,很簡(jiǎn)單的東西
and then we took an area of land, a strip on the side
然后我們采用了一片土地,在主干道的
of our main road, which was a dog toilet, basically,
一邊,之前基本上是寵物廁所
and we turned it into a really lovely herb garden.
然后我們把它變成了一片可愛的植物花園
We took the corner of the car park in the station
我們用你們剛剛看到的汽車車站停車場(chǎng)邊的角落的土地
that you saw, and we made vegetable beds
做成了菜畦
for everybody to share and pick from themselves.
讓每個(gè)人可以分享和采摘植物
We went to the doctors. We've just had
我們?nèi)チ嗽\所,我們剛剛在托德莫登建設(shè)了
a 6-million-pound health center built in Todmorden,
六百萬英鎊的醫(yī)療中心
and for some reason that I cannot comprehend,
某種程度上我不能理解
it has been surrounded by prickly plants.
已經(jīng)被有刺的植物包圍起來了
So we went to the doctors, said, "Would you mind us taking them up?"
我們?nèi)メt(yī)生那時(shí),說介意我們把他們拿起來嗎?
They said, "Absolutely fine, provided you get planning permission
他們說: "沒問題,假設(shè)你們計(jì)劃許可
and you do it in Latin and you do it in triplicate,"
你們可以在拉丁美洲做,而且把他們翻三倍"
so we did--and now there are fruit trees
于是我們成功了--現(xiàn)在水果樹
and bushes and herbs and vegetables
灌木叢,草本和蔬菜
around that doctor's surgery.
在醫(yī)生診所處生長(zhǎng)茂盛
And there's been lots of other examples, like the corn
有很多很多這樣的例子,像玉米
that was in front of the police station,
長(zhǎng)在警察局門口
and the old people's home that we've planted it with food
和老人們的家里,這樣我們就能種植
that they can pick and grow.
他們生長(zhǎng)采摘
But it isn't just about growing,
但這并不僅僅只是生長(zhǎng)
because we all are part of this jigsaw.
因?yàn)槲覀兌际瞧磮D玩具的一部分
It's about taking those artistic people in your community
這是關(guān)于把社區(qū)里有藝術(shù)美感的人們帶動(dòng)起來
and doing some fabulous designs in those raised beds
在培育的土壤床上做一些極好的設(shè)計(jì)
to explain to people what's growing there,
來向人們解釋什么生長(zhǎng)在這里
because there's so many people that don't really recognize
因?yàn)橛邢喈?dāng)多的人并沒意識(shí)到
a vegetable unless it's in a bit of plastic
是蔬菜除非在頂部
with a bit of an instruction packet on the top.
有一小小的指示牌寫明了
So we have some people who designed these things,
于是我們有很多人來設(shè)計(jì)這樣的東西
"If it looks like this, please don't pick it, but if it looks like this,
“如果是長(zhǎng)這樣,請(qǐng)勿采摘.但如果是長(zhǎng)這樣
help yourself."
請(qǐng)隨意"
This is about sharing and investing in kindness.
這是關(guān)于分享和善意的投資
And for those people that don't want to do either
同時(shí),對(duì)那些不愿意做這些
of those things, maybe they can cook,
或那些事的人們,也許他們可以下廚
so we pick them seasonally and then we go on the street,
所以我們季節(jié)性摘菜,然后上街
or in the pub, or in the church,
或進(jìn)俱樂部,或在教堂
or wherever people are living their lives.
或人們生活的地方
This is about us going to the people and saying,
我們來到大家身邊說
"We are all part of the local food jigsaw,
"我們是本地食物拼圖的組成部分
we are all part of a solution."
我們都是解決方案的一部分"
And then, because we know we've got vegetable tourists
然后,因?yàn)槲覀冎牢覀円呀?jīng)有了蔬菜旅客
and we love them to bits and they're absolutely fantastic,
我們很樂意他們吃,讓他們感覺相當(dāng)奇妙
we thought, what could we do to give them an even better experience?
我們?cè)谙耄覀兡茏鍪裁床拍芙o他們更好的體驗(yàn)?
So we invented, without asking, of course,
于是我們創(chuàng)造了,當(dāng)然沒有征求他們的意見
the Incredible Edible Green Route.
絕佳的可食蔬菜路線
And this is a route of exhibition gardens,
這是一條花園展覽的
and edible towpaths, and bee-friendly sites, and the story
可食的,沒有蜜蜂的,承載傳粉故事的路線
of pollinators, and it's a route that we designed
是一條我們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)的路線
that takes people through the whole of our town,
帶領(lǐng)旅客穿過我們城鎮(zhèn)
past our cafes and our small shops, through our market,
路過我們的咖啡館和小商店,穿過我們的商場(chǎng)
not just to and fro from the supermarket,
不僅僅是從商場(chǎng)的來回地
and we're hoping that, in changing people's footfall
我們希望,在改變?nèi)藗兇┬?/div>
around our town, we're also changing their behavior.
我們城鎮(zhèn)腳步的同時(shí),我們也在改變著他們的行為
And then there's the second plate, the learning plate.
到這里,就是第二個(gè)板塊,學(xué)習(xí)板塊
Well, we're in partnership with a high school.
我們?cè)谂c高校進(jìn)行合作
We've created a company. We are designing and building
我們成立了一個(gè)公司,我們正在設(shè)計(jì)和建設(shè)
an aquaponics unit in some land that was spare
一個(gè)在高校后面的空閑土地上的
at the back of the high school, like you do,
魚菜共生單元,像你們看到的
and now we're going to be growing fish and vegetables
現(xiàn)在我們準(zhǔn)備在一個(gè)有蜜蜂的果樹林里
in an orchard with bees,
同時(shí)培育魚和蔬菜
and the kids are helping us build that,
一些孩子也在幫我們建設(shè)
and the kids are on the board, and because the community
孩子也在會(huì)議中,因?yàn)樯鐓^(qū)
was really keen on working with the high school,
真的相當(dāng)投入和高校的合作
the high school is now teaching agriculture,
高校也在教授農(nóng)業(yè)課
and because it's teaching agriculture, we started to think,
由于是在教授農(nóng)業(yè),我們開始思考
how could we then get those kids that never had a qualification
我們?nèi)绾文茏屇切┰谶^去的人生中
before in their lives but are really excited about growing,
從沒有過任何資質(zhì)但對(duì)培育十分感興趣的孩子提供機(jī)會(huì)
how can we give them some more experience?
我們?cè)趺茨芙o他們更多的經(jīng)驗(yàn)
So we got some land that was donated
于是我們得到了
by a local garden center.
當(dāng)?shù)貓@藝中心捐贈(zèng)的土地
It was really quite muddy, but in a truly incredible way,
相當(dāng)潮濕,但是在一種相當(dāng)驚人的方式下
totally voluntary-led, we have turned that
完全自愿主導(dǎo)的方式下,我們把它變成了
into a market garden training center,
一個(gè)市場(chǎng)農(nóng)藝訓(xùn)練中心
and that is polytunnels and raised beds
那是聚乙烯制溫室和培育的溫床
and all the things you need to get the soil under your fingers
還有那些你需要用你手指去撥土的工作
and think maybe there's a job in this for me in the future.
我還想或許在未來我可以干這么一個(gè)工作
And because we were doing that, some local academics said,
由于我們正在做這個(gè),一些當(dāng)?shù)貙W(xué)者就說
"You know, we could help design
"你知道,我們可以為你們?cè)O(shè)計(jì)
a commercial horticulture course for you.
一個(gè)商業(yè)園藝學(xué)課程
There's not one that we know of."
這不是個(gè)我們都知道的東西"
So they're doing that, and we're going to launch it later this year,
于是他們正在著手做,我們準(zhǔn)備在今年晚些時(shí)候發(fā)布
and it's all an experiment, and it's all voluntary.
這一切都只是個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn),都是自愿的
And then there's the third plate,
這就是第三個(gè)板塊
because if you walk through an edible landscape,
因?yàn)槿绻阕哌^一片有東西吃的地方
and if you're learning new skills, and if you start to get
如果你正在學(xué)項(xiàng)新的技能,如果你開始
interested in what's growing seasonally,
對(duì)這種季節(jié)性生長(zhǎng)的植物有興趣
you might just want to spend more of your own money

not just veg, but meat and cheese and beer
不僅僅是蔬菜,而且是肉,奶酪和啤酒
and whatever else it might be.
或者可能是別的什么東西
But then, we're just a community group, you know.
但是說回來,我們只是個(gè)社區(qū)組織,你們知道的
We're just all volunteers. What could we actually do?
我們只是志愿者,我們事實(shí)上能做什么呢?
So we did some really simple things.
于是我們做了些簡(jiǎn)單的事情
We fundraised, we got some blackboards,
我們募捐,我們得到了些黑板
we put "Incredible Edible" on the top,
我們把"不可思議的可食用"寫在最上面
we gave it every market trader that was selling locally,
我們把它發(fā)放給每個(gè)當(dāng)?shù)劁N售的商人
