北京都市农耕联盟 启动会：8月11日，16:00 @家作坊
Beijing Urban Farming Union kickoff meeting: August 11, 16:00 @ HomeShop
诚邀您来家作坊参加这次有关都市农耕交流，来认识志同道合的朋友，了解关于都市农耕的实际情况和DIY自己动手的技术，与其他朋友分享自己的知识和经验。 从哪弄土壤和肥料？ 从哪获得种子？ 用什么容器？ 在哪种？ 该如何共同努力才能把都市农耕变得更容易更有趣呢？ 为了解答这些问题，我们将组织参观家作坊的实地小农场、堆肥实验及种子交换库，对小型的民间及社区农耕行动进行介绍，探讨连接不同的农耕群体（包括潜在的农耕者）并促进他们的合作的可能途径。 我们应该在城市里种植更多的粮食和蔬菜！ 这次交流会就是为了邀请大家参与进来！
Please join us for a gathering at HomeShop to exchange on urban farming in Beijing. It’s an opportunity to meet likeminded people, learn some facts and d.i.y. techniques, and share knowledge and experiences. How can we access soil and fertilizer? Where can we get seeds? What materials can we use for containers, and where can we put them? How can we work together to make it easier and more fun?
To address these questions, on the agenda will be a tour of HomeShop’s on-site small farm and composting experiments and Seed Exchange Bank, presentations on small civil-society and community initiatives into agriculture in Beijing, and envisioning possible ways of linking up and cooperating among diverse groups of growers (and potential growers).
We should grow more food in the cities! This meeting is an invitation to get involved.
共同组织：家作坊和简明清
Co-organized by HomeShop and Jonas Nakonz
其他：
在家门口种上一株黄瓜，即刻你就被转移到一个包含所有下列事物的宇宙：全球政治，复杂生态系统，社会变化，减缓气候变化，DIY技术，大大提高的生活质量和关注自然之美带来的精神上感悟。 民以食为天，但是平常你吃的食物可能带来生物多样性破坏，全球气候变化，土壤和水的污染。
数据： 在中国，农业一个部门排放的温室气体是整个工业部门的将近两倍。每年中国使用约有5千万吨化学肥料，但只有17％被作物吸收，其余的则都流失到了环境中。更不用说，每年喷洒在你食物上的150万吨农药，还有在生产这些农药过程中使用的煤炭能源。而在中国，马路上30%的耗油大卡车实际上是在运送粮食。如果你能闻到饭菜里的燃油气味，肯定吃不下饭！
中国的城市化带来了人类历史上最大规模的人口迁移，也创造了大约1万平方公里的可使用的屋顶面积，这些空间给有机种植者提供了一个庞大的舞台来解决前面提到的问题。此外，大量的有机质以厨余垃圾的形式被浪费。北京每天就填埋处理8千吨，焚烧处理2千吨厨余垃圾，而这些厨余垃圾完全经过堆肥处理制成有机肥来供都市农耕使用。 在市区，“桶园艺”令人耳目一新，尤其在中老年人中很流行。但都市农耕的潜力远远不止于此。技术琳琅满目，从利用回收的瓶子完成自灌的简易系统到由传感器控制的自动化农场，非常有意思。任何空间和环境都有其用武之地。都市农耕能把灰暗压抑的水泥空间变成令人耳目一新的的放松与聊天场所。它创新社区、交流网络、以及教育和能力建设的平台。不要再等政府来帮忙解决我们这个星球的问题。如果你种下那棵黄瓜，那么你就为一项伟大的事业贡献了一份力量！

Plant a cucumber at your doorstep and you’re instantly beamed into a universe of global politics, complex ecosystems, social change, climate change mitigation, d.i.y. technology, massively improved quality of life and spiritual enlightenment contemplating the beauty of nature. Food sustains life; but eating your average food can contribute to the destruction of biodiversity, global warming and poisoning of soils and water.
Some figures: Chinese agriculture emits almost twice as much greenhouse gas than its entire industrial sector. Of the yearly 50 Million tons of inorganic fertilizer poured onto Chinese soil, only 17% is taken up by crops. The rest is “lost to the environment”. Not to mention the yearly dose of 1.5 million tons of toxic pesticides sprayed on your food, and the coal-burning energy to produce that stuff. What is more, 30% of all fuel guzzling trucks on Chinese roads are actually transporting food – if you could smell the carbon in your dish you’d choke.
Chinese urbanization – the largest migration in human history – has led to the creation of an estimated 10,000 km2 of unused rooftop area in China; that’s a big playground for organic gardeners to counter these problems. There’s tons of wasted organic matter; Beijing alone sends 8000 tons of food waste to the landfills every day and burns another 2000 tons. All of that could be put into compost bins and provide clean nutrients for your food. In Chinese cities, bucket gardening is refreshingly popular, particularly among the elderly. But the potential of urban farming goes far beyond. There are fascinating technologies, ranging from easy self-watering systems from recycled bottles to sensor-controlled automated farms. There is something smart for every space and condition. Urban farming can transform gray concrete into spaces of relaxation and dialogue. It creates community, networks of exchange, a platform for education and empowerment. Don’t wait until governments solve the problems of this planet. If you plant that cucumber, you’re part of a big thing!
