7 years ago while I was sleeping I had a
dream
I usually do not remember anything at all
what I dream
and it was that way and when I woke up I was
I had to find my lady because I did not
it’s really I never remember that
dream
and I had got myself into a project that
was to create hydroponic food for
animals but in this dream I was told
to give him a turn that the thing does not
it was out there that the thing was what
I was looking was something else
and that’s how I wound up with the
estate
I had to go around and discovered a
new world with this with my team we
we went to work on this in
nature
a tree usually has 70% that
it is the part that we see
which are the trunk the branches
the sheet
under this
there is 30% that is what we do not see
they are rooted
then we went to work and the
challenge was to create a grain
give us
20 to 30% foliar that what we see
transform it and have a 70 and 80 by
hundred roots
good was we had a long time in this we
we delay many days go well years
It was incredible how many times
mixture is fragmented we go breasts
dig here there is a stack of variants that
we had to learn to manage
but in the end we were very consistent and
in the end we achieve this goal
and it was so
that when we started to see our
development we started to investigate and
only the roots had investigated
as the sustenance the tree in the
nature and in agriculture for him
for crops and so on then
We were able to patent this project this
process worldwide
the radicular mattress that we
we make
is constituted with thousands of roots that
they have become entangled with each other
they form this great network
and it is so so that it avoids us machinery
to do it
and that’s why we made the
nature in our factory
once we had this we said good
let’s start analyzing it, we analyze it and
we discovered that it was a great insulator
thermal and also because of this that it has
many roots that intersect in a
cus poses great as it absorbs tico
sound
and by chance we discovered life
which was also had a great
resistance to fire
and why do I say by a chance of the
life because one day doing a barbecue with
the team said this will learn the
throw we throw into the fire to learn what
well we are looking and before
our astonishment took a long time
in burning down then we discover that
others had another quality more than
of this the acoustic and thermal insulation
It also has a great resistance to
fire and it is called once we had
this we say see what we do with this
we create a panel
that a zip panel
there is what does not burn we create a
zip panel that is to put this mattress
Root between two wooden planks
you can also put the inside of
a door can not be put inside
throne ceiling is to say the heart of a
door the heart of a wall the
heart of a roof and lately
we develop a soil improver
soil improvers and substrates
soil improvers are all these
mixtures that are made to be able to create
plants in greenhouse or create seedlings
in nurseries
when we started to analyze also what
did what how did they work
roots in this we realized that it
study 100% Turkish
the peat is used to make mixtures for
better to improve soil and it will be substrate
the peat is a super complex ecosystem
is between 3 and 6 percent of the
land surface
and it has the peculiarity that it takes
each
about 100 years to grow between 5 and
10 centimeters
then how much is grown or taken out
this peat is producing ecological damage
gigantic and on the other hand today it has
discovered that the peat is one of the
older environmental purifiers
since it captures the co2 of the environment is
say a natural filter but it loses this
quality when we harvest it
and there is a tour vall for those who do not
they know and also they are given in a 3 to a 6%
the land surface is only
the floors thank you is that they are the
chilean patagonia la gallega de
argentina in greenland in the steppe
Russian and in some marshes of different
parts of the continent of the good world
we keep working with this and
this changed us ourselves
It did not make us more aware of what
nature made us realize
how fragile it was but to me
personally he taught me one thing that is
cooperation in nature one thing
incredible many times in biology it
what is the symbiosis and what does it consist
this is that all the gesture the agents
biological and all natural people
can develop
it is so like this that in a forest today
it is proven that in a forest that
is healthy the roots are communicating
between them
they are communicating are happening
information and are able to transport
water from a humid place in the forest to a
dry place of the forest when you
see a forest that has not been touched
they will never see dry areas
and it was also shown today
that the forest is capable of trees
large ones that feed on the co2 of the
atmosphere that makes photosynthesis
are able to transport that food
the smaller trees are below and
as they can not reach the rays of the
sun can not do photosynthesis and it does not
they can feed that is to say is the
cooperation in the incredible forest
because it makes all your all the
inhabitants can prosper
and not just to wait but they have
very clear that you have to worry about
replacement generation
and nature does not talk about that we
we have to be clear that our
roots are in this earth are in
this planet and that the only way that
human beings we will be able to achieve
get out of this is when we understand that
we have to cooperate not between us and
speaking only cooperating among us
but also how the forest is made
charge of all its members also
make sure that of all our
younger brothers who are the plants
the trees the animals the insects
nowadays there are studies that say that yes
the bees disappear from our
planet as much as possible is that we
let’s follow the same path
why as this project was born a
dream
our dream is that just like us
with my team we were able to create a
natural insulation that does not damage the medium
environment and that does not pollute and a
soil improver substrate that does not
it produces gigantic ecological damage
we are sure that from the
roots are going to be able to achieve the new
medicines to be able to achieve
new materials for construction
will be able to achieve the
the new foods because the roots
produce
a biological chemical process and
biochemical and still not unknown
as always he had only noticed
to produce trees but there’s a
tremendous research to do and
we are sure that people who
those who come behind us from
of our development are going to be able to
develop these new materials for
humanity is the last thing I want
to say is that I have to be conscious
As my previous partner used to say,
this planet of one today the only one that
we have
and we have to take care of it and our roots
they are plant here and while not
let’s learn to cooperate we will not be able to
leave text million thanks
