Sustainable Food: Let's Start a Revolution! | Gerardo Urbina | TEDxNagoyaU

"Which one creates more greenhouse gas, transportation or animal production?
Gerardo Urbina gave his answer based on some data and facts. He talked about his reason why and how he decided to be a vegan. He also indicated the possibility to make a food revolution by science and technology.
Gerardo Urbina from the Republic of El Salvador is an international student of Nagoya University. Through communicating with some students from various cultures and backgrounds at Nagoya University, he thought about the vegetarian lifestyle and decided to practice it. At first, he sympathized with it from an ethical perspective. However, it hit him to reconsider food industry from a vegetarian point of view."

1994年生まれ。エルサルバドル出身。かねてより化学に興味を持ち、化学の研究がより盛んな国で学びたいという意欲から、2013年名古屋大学理学部化学科に入学。名古屋大学でさまざまな文化やバックグラウンドを持つ学生たちと触れ合う中で、ベジタリアンについて考え、自ら実践することを決意した。はじめは倫理的側面からベジタリアンに共感していたが、ベジタリアンの立場から食品産業を考え直すというアイディアにたどり着いた。2015年5月17日に行われたTEDxNagoyaU学生スピーカーオーディションでは、人々の心に残る斬新なアイディアが評価され、登壇が決定。

Energy density needs to be discussed when discussing meat production. It is often over looked, and assumed that just eating vegetables is the answer to the world's hunger problems.

[dreambig]

it was a very informative and interesting speech thank u !!

[vbacic]

Yes, you CAN say to 100 people to stop eating meat! And exactly - just like that!!! But the speech is good. Plants seeds - vegan seeds. :)))

[sherrymagdy]

Impotànt of livestock producion in food consumption score

[claudiasaenz]

I'm from El Salvador too, so proud to hear you say so ingenious ideas! The only thing is about the teast. If it's true the nutrition is important for people is as iqual important the taste and flavor of the meet. So the only question for me is this "in vitro" meet is as good as the real one? It could taste as good as the meet from a cow?. I think beside the nutrition facts in this lays the exit from people consuming or not

[fyaworx]

Perhaps we just need to stop breeding so many humans

[dylanjackson]

It takes 2000 literes of water to make 1 kg of soybean?

[TATASTIC]

Everything in moderation.
Too much of anything is not good.
We should eat moo. But moo should be grown in near natural environment.
Issue is mass production and capitalistic intents.
If human health and joy of life is our focus. Moo will be happy and so we would too.
Please dont promote frankestienish food.
Cars and food are different objects
Well done for your research and your ideas though. Thanks

[shreyapatel]

[cuguagughz]
