Unboxing what humans know only 0.01% out of 100% | Justinas Taruška | TEDxKaunas


my topic will be about what humans know

my topic will be about what humans know only 0.01% out of 100 our company and

only 0.01% out of 100 our company and

only 0.01% out of 100 our company and our team we do business in agriculture

our team we do business in agriculture

our team we do business in agriculture we do research in microbiology and we

we do research in microbiology and we

we do research in microbiology and we are investigating microorganisms and I

are investigating microorganisms and I

are investigating microorganisms and I have a question for you do you know how

have a question for you do you know how

have a question for you do you know how many percent of your body

many percent of your body

many percent of your body there are bacterias try to imagine well

there are bacterias try to imagine well

there are bacterias try to imagine well ten percent of all the bodies are a

ten percent of all the bodies are a

ten percent of all the bodies are a bacteria so another question do you know

bacteria so another question do you know

bacteria so another question do you know how many percent are good microbes and

how many percent are good microbes and

how many percent are good microbes and how many bad ones out of 100 percent

how many bad ones out of 100 percent

how many bad ones out of 100 percent well the answer is 95% of all micro

well the answer is 95% of all micro

well the answer is 95% of all micro organisms are good ones but we remember

organisms are good ones but we remember

organisms are good ones but we remember about them when we have some problems

about them when we have some problems

about them when we have some problems but the reality is like this even this

but the reality is like this even this

but the reality is like this even this picture is from our lab where specific

picture is from our lab where specific

picture is from our lab where specific microbes are fighting with each other

microbes are fighting with each other

microbes are fighting with each other and greed one is winning that fight in

and greed one is winning that fight in

and greed one is winning that fight in 2015 United Nations made this year

2015 United Nations made this year

2015 United Nations made this year International Year of soil because we

International Year of soil because we

International Year of soil because we have to think about the future about our

have to think about the future about our

have to think about the future about our land and what we will leave for our

land and what we will leave for our

land and what we will leave for our children well even these big components

children well even these big components

children well even these big components are thinking about the farming and as

are thinking about the farming and as

are thinking about the farming and as you see there is only a small piece of

you see there is only a small piece of

you see there is only a small piece of all Earth’s what we have for farming and

all Earth’s what we have for farming and

all Earth’s what we have for farming and somehow we have to feed them and it

somehow we have to feed them and it

somehow we have to feed them and it takes for nature 1,000 years to build

takes for nature 1,000 years to build

takes for nature 1,000 years to build from 2.5 to 5 centimeters of topsoil and

from 2.5 to 5 centimeters of topsoil and

from 2.5 to 5 centimeters of topsoil and with intensive farming and what we don’t

with intensive farming and what we don’t

with intensive farming and what we don’t care about the land it takes 30 years to

care about the land it takes 30 years to

care about the land it takes 30 years to destroy it what I mean intensive farming

destroy it what I mean intensive farming

destroy it what I mean intensive farming farmers are using fertilizers like macro

diseases so we put everything in our

diseases so we put everything in our land and this how the global market

land and this how the global market

land and this how the global market looks like and what is the situation now

looks like and what is the situation now

looks like and what is the situation now on our for our ears so this is how our

on our for our ears so this is how our

on our for our ears so this is how our land

land

land looks like the greatest oil very

looks like the greatest oil very

looks like the greatest oil very decorated soil and we have only that

decorated soil and we have only that

decorated soil and we have only that piece with stable soil

according some studies there are 60

according some studies there are 60 years left for the topsoil and by 2050

years left for the topsoil and by 2050

years left for the topsoil and by 2050 we’ll need to feed more than 9 billion

we’ll need to feed more than 9 billion

we’ll need to feed more than 9 billion people with such small piece of land and

people with such small piece of land and

people with such small piece of land and for one kilogram of meat we need six

for one kilogram of meat we need six

for one kilogram of meat we need six kilogram of food grains so we will need

kilogram of food grains so we will need

kilogram of food grains so we will need to produce more grains just to feed all

to produce more grains just to feed all

to produce more grains just to feed all the human so what shall we do are we

the human so what shall we do are we

the human so what shall we do are we going to do more intensive farming but

going to do more intensive farming but

going to do more intensive farming but according the United Nations there are

according the United Nations there are

according the United Nations there are several ways one is biodiversity it

several ways one is biodiversity it

several ways one is biodiversity it means that we have to change where it is

means that we have to change where it is

means that we have to change where it is we have to have rarity of grains

we have to have rarity of grains

we have to have rarity of grains changing the plants even animal breeds

changing the plants even animal breeds

changing the plants even animal breeds as well sustainable farming that we need

as well sustainable farming that we need

as well sustainable farming that we need to think how we do our farming water

to think how we do our farming water

to think how we do our farming water drain systems we have so much water

drain systems we have so much water

drain systems we have so much water coming from the rain but we do not

coming from the rain but we do not

coming from the rain but we do not collect it and use it for the farming

collect it and use it for the farming

collect it and use it for the farming and of course restoring microflora so

soil try to calculate in your mind how many quantities are in such spoon so at

many quantities are in such spoon so at

many quantities are in such spoon so at that tiny spoon with the soil we have

that tiny spoon with the soil we have

that tiny spoon with the soil we have more microorganisms that are living

more microorganisms that are living

more microorganisms that are living people on the earth another question

people on the earth another question

people on the earth another question please imagine how many organs are

please imagine how many organs are

please imagine how many organs are invisible so we cannot see with their

invisible so we cannot see with their

invisible so we cannot see with their eyes

sixty six percent of all living

sixty six percent of all living organisms are invisible and the truth is

organisms are invisible and the truth is

organisms are invisible and the truth is that science knows only 0.01% of all

that science knows only 0.01% of all

that science knows only 0.01% of all available microbes and microorganisms in

available microbes and microorganisms in

available microbes and microorganisms in the world so there is still a lot to do

the world so there is still a lot to do

the world so there is still a lot to do for our scientist and to explore it play

elements that are specific bacterias like nitrogen-fixing bacteria which can

like nitrogen-fixing bacteria which can

like nitrogen-fixing bacteria which can fix about 50 kilograms of nitrogen from

fix about 50 kilograms of nitrogen from

fix about 50 kilograms of nitrogen from the atmosphere in one hectare of soil

the atmosphere in one hectare of soil

the atmosphere in one hectare of soil and and it could be available for the

and and it could be available for the

and and it could be available for the plant another bacterial phosphorus so

plant another bacterial phosphorus so

plant another bacterial phosphorus so localized in bacteria it can solubilize

localized in bacteria it can solubilize

localized in bacteria it can solubilize 50 kilograms of fixed phosphorus and

50 kilograms of fixed phosphorus and

50 kilograms of fixed phosphorus and make it available again for one hectare

make it available again for one hectare

make it available again for one hectare of soil potassium potassium bacteria can

of soil potassium potassium bacteria can

of soil potassium potassium bacteria can mobilize potassium and make it again

mobilize potassium and make it again

mobilize potassium and make it again available in the soil so we can do a lot

available in the soil so we can do a lot

available in the soil so we can do a lot with microorganisms microflora

with microorganisms microflora just we need to take care about them and

just we need to take care about them and

just we need to take care about them and to give food as I’m here in Lithuania so

to give food as I’m here in Lithuania so

to give food as I’m here in Lithuania so what is the situation in Lithuania in

what is the situation in Lithuania in

what is the situation in Lithuania in agribusiness so we have no draughts we

agribusiness so we have no draughts we

agribusiness so we have no draughts we have plenty of water

have plenty of water

have plenty of water nice lakes nice rivers what we can use

nice lakes nice rivers what we can use

nice lakes nice rivers what we can use this water for farming comparing with

this water for farming comparing with

this water for farming comparing with other countries we have huge plots of

other countries we have huge plots of

other countries we have huge plots of lands what a meal during the Soviet

lands what a meal during the Soviet

lands what a meal during the Soviet Union and collectivization process which

Union and collectivization process which

Union and collectivization process which was sad period for us it was made and

was sad period for us it was made and

was sad period for us it was made and built big plots of lands and after

built big plots of lands and after

built big plots of lands and after independence our farmers can use huge

independence our farmers can use huge

independence our farmers can use huge equipment huge combines and do the

equipment huge combines and do the

equipment huge combines and do the farming more efficiently comparing with

farming more efficiently comparing with

farming more efficiently comparing with other Western Europe country we do

other Western Europe country we do

other Western Europe country we do investments in agriculture we buy new

investments in agriculture we buy new

investments in agriculture we buy new technologies new equipment like combines

technologies new equipment like combines

technologies new equipment like combines tractors so we have everything we just

tractors so we have everything we just

tractors so we have everything we just need to continue and think what we are

need to continue and think what we are

need to continue and think what we are doing with our land and doing farming

doing with our land and doing farming

doing with our land and doing farming more sustainable and the last one what

more sustainable and the last one what

more sustainable and the last one what kind of land we would like to leave for

kind of land we would like to leave for

kind of land we would like to leave for our future it’s a question for you to

our future it’s a question for you to
