课程简介

在中国，你很难找到没有化学物质和农药的新鲜食品：2016年，。在缺乏安全可持续的食物来源的情况下，TED的Matilda Ho研究员推出了中国第一个在线农民市场，对食品中的农药，抗生素和激素进行了零容忍测试。她分享了她如何从头开始创建自己的平台，并将当地有机种植的食物带给更多有需要的家庭。

I was six when I had the first chance to learn what patience means.My grandmother gave me a magic box as a birthday present,which neither of us knew would become a gift for life.I became obsessed with magic,and at 20, I became an amateur dove magician.This act of magic requires that I train my dovesto sit and wait inside my clothing.As a young magician, I was always in a rush to make them appear,but my teacher told methe secret to the success of this magical actis to make my doves appear only after they’ve waited patientlyin my tuxedo.It has to be a mindful kind of patience,the kind that took me some years to master.

When life took me to Shanghai seven years ago,the mindful patience I learned became almost impossible to practice.In China, where everyone and everything is in a hurry,you need to outperform over 1.3 billion other peopleto build a better life.You hack the system, bend the rules,circumvent the boundaries.It is the same when it comes to food ...except that when it comes to food,impatience can have dire consequences.In the haste to grow more, sell more,4,000 years of agriculture in a country of rich natural resourcesis spoiled by the overuse of chemicals and pesticides.In 2016, the revealedhalf a million food safety violations in just nine months.Alarmingly, one in every four diabetics in the worldnow comes from China.The stories around foodare scary and somewhat overwhelming,and I told myself it’s time to bring a mindful patience into the impatience.

When I say mindful patience,I don’t mean the ability to wait.I mean knowing how to act while waiting.And so, while I wait for the daywhen a sustainable food system becomes a reality in China,I launched one of China’s first online farmers marketto bring local, organically grown produce to families.When we went live, 18 months ago,the food we could sell then was somewhat dismal.We had no fruit and hardly any meat to sell,as none that was sent to the lab passed our zero tolerance testtowards pesticides, chemicals,antibiotics and hormones.I told our very anxious employeesthat we would not give up until we’ve met every local farmer in China.

Today, we supply 240 types of producefrom 57 local farmers.After almost one year of searching,we finally found chemical-free bananasgrown in the backyards of villagers on Hainan Island.And only two hours away from Shanghai,on an island that even Google Maps does not have coordinates for,we found a place where cows eat grassand roam free under the blue sky.We also work hard on logistics.We deliver our customers’ orders in as fast as three hourson electric vehicles,and we use biodegradable, reusable boxesto minimize our environmental footprint.

I have no doubt that our offerings will continue to grow,but it will take time,and I know a lot more people are needed to shape the future of good food.So last year, I founded China’s first food tech accelerator and VC platformto help start-ups to shape the future of good foodthe way they want,be that through using edible insects as a more sustainable source of proteinor using essential oils to keep food fresh for longer.

So, you may still ask:Why are you trying to build a sustainable food systemby driving a patient movementin a country where it’s almost a crime to take it slow?Because, for me,the real secret to success is patience --a mindful kind of patiencethat requires knowing how to act while waiting,the kind of patience I learned with my grandmother’s magic box.After all, we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors.We borrow it from our children.

Thank you.

我六岁那年第一次知道了“耐心”这个词的意思我外祖母给了我一个神奇的盒子作为我的生日礼物我们那时都不知道这个礼物会成为我重要的一部分我疯狂爱上了魔术20岁时，我变成了一个业余的鸽子魔术师这种魔术需要对鸽子进行训练训练他们耐心等在我的衣服角落作为一个年轻魔术师，我总是迫不及待得让它们现身但是我的老师告诉我这个魔术成功的秘密就在于让我的鸽子“耐心”等待后华丽现身于我的礼服这是一种有意识的耐心这种意识需要长年累月的培养

When life took me to Shanghai seven years ago,the mindful patience I learned became almost impossible to practice.In China, where everyone and everything is in a hurry,you need to outperform over 1.3 billion other peopleto build a better life.You hack the system, bend the rules,circumvent the boundaries.It is the same when it comes to food ...except that when it comes to food,impatience can have dire consequences.In the haste to grow more, sell more,4,000 years of agriculture in a country of rich natural resourcesis spoiled by the overuse of chemicals and pesticides.In 2016, the revealedhalf a million food safety violations in just nine months.Alarmingly, one in every four diabetics in the worldnow comes from China.The stories around foodare scary and somewhat overwhelming,and I told myself it’s time to bring a mindful patience into the impatience.

当我七年前回到上海我几乎无法保持这种有意识的耐心在中国，每个人总是急急忙忙的你需要胜过其他13亿人才可能拥有更好的生活你需要破解这个系统，熟知它的准则并且打破它的边界这个道理对于食物也同样适用但是当我们谈论食物时不耐心的人往往导致最糟糕的结果当人们匆忙地种植，抛售这个拥有四千年农耕历史和丰富自然资源的国家正在一点一点被农药和杀虫剂吞噬2016年，，每四个糖尿病患者就有一个来自中国这些关于食物的故事让我们感到恐惧和担忧我告诉自己，我们需要教会大家怎么变得耐心

When I say mindful patience,I don’t mean the ability to wait.I mean knowing how to act while waiting.And so, while I wait for the daywhen a sustainable food system becomes a reality in China,I launched one of China’s first online farmers marketto bring local, organically grown produce to families.When we went live, 18 months ago,the food we could sell then was somewhat dismal.We had no fruit and hardly any meat to sell,as none that was sent to the lab passed our zero tolerance testtowards pesticides, chemicals,antibiotics and hormones.I told our very anxious employeesthat we would not give up until we’ve met every local farmer in China.

而这种耐心不仅仅只是学会等待更是学会一种有意义的有目标的等待所以我等着这一天等待一种可持续的食物供给模式在中国成为现实我创办了中国第一家农产品销售网站把当地的生产的，有机的农产品带给家庭18个月前，我们的网站开始运营但是我们销售的产品非常有限没有人能通过我们的网站销售水果和肉类因为那些产品都达不到我们所指定的产品标准这些标准涵盖了杀虫剂，化肥，抗生素和各种激素我告诉我们心焦的员工我们永远不放弃寻找，直到见过每一个农民为止

Today, we supply 240 types of producefrom 57 local farmers.After almost one year of searching,we finally found chemical-free bananasgrown in the backyards of villagers on Hainan Island.And only two hours away from Shanghai,on an island that even Google Maps does not have coordinates for,we found a place where cows eat grassand roam free under the blue sky.We also work hard on logistics.We deliver our customers’ orders in as fast as three hourson electric vehicles,and we use biodegradable, reusable boxesto minimize our environmental footprint.

今天，我们销售超过240种产品这些产品来自57个当地的农民和农场在我们努力寻找了一年以后我们终于在海南岛一个村民的后院里找到了纯天然无污染的香蕉距离上海两个小时的地方有一个连谷歌地图都没有标识的小岛上我们找到了吃着天然牧草生活得无忧无虑的奶牛我们也致力于发展物流网络在最快三小时内我们就可以送货上门并且用的还是纯电动的交通工具我们使用的包装盒都是可降解可回收的材料以此来降低我们的碳排放足迹

I have no doubt that our offerings will continue to grow,but it will take time,and I know a lot more people are needed to shape the future of good food.So last year, I founded China’s first food tech accelerator and VC platformto help start-ups to shape the future of good foodthe way they want,be that through using edible insects as a more sustainable source of proteinor using essential oils to keep food fresh for longer.

我坚信我们这个产业可以一直成长下去虽然可能要花费很多时间还要花费更多的人力物力所以去年我成立了中国第一个食品科技加速交流论坛来帮助新兴企业用他们的方式改变中国的食物现状无论是使用可食用的昆虫作为优质蛋白质来源还是使用精油来保持食物新鲜

So, you may still ask:Why are you trying to build a sustainable food systemby driving a patient movementin a country where it’s almost a crime to take it slow?Because, for me,the real secret to success is patience --a mindful kind of patiencethat requires knowing how to act while waiting,the kind of patience I learned with my grandmother’s magic box.After all, we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors.We borrow it from our children.

那么你可能会问了你所做的关于可持续食物的发展用的怎么是“耐心”的进行方式特别是在中国这样一个慢慢做几乎是种罪过的国家因为对于我来说成功的秘诀就在于耐心这种有意识的耐心教会我们如何在耐心等待的同时作出行动我通过我外祖母的魔法盒子学会的这种耐心毕竟，地球并不是我们继承的祖先遗产而是从我们的后代借来的

Thank you.

谢谢大家
