the present day
and tell them a little bit what we think of
this new revolution of the agricultural sector
First
because this idea was born and because we arrived
to this concept
a person who is born in a city like
medellin in colombia
who plays soccer that all his friends
they are city dwellers who play tennis
which is to awaken from a very small
passion for the field starting with the
horse was sick by the horse by
ride a horse but it turns out that in the
riding lessons because there was no more
silver to buy a better horse and I
I have to withdraw
the only land I had was that of
the nails had no more land I did not
it just played to go to friends
that they had land or where some family member
to develop that passion that I had for
inside by this field
I grew up I went to college and I thought that
study
it was a big dilemma because I liked it
the field and I wanted something that I had to
see 100% with the field but I took the
decision to study administration of
companies because I think there are other
ways to help the countryside and that many
of the people who are in the
cities can help the countryside
that’s how I start studying
a little more and I find that the
field of my country was in
revolution but negative people
emigrated from the countryside the city ​​is more than
all because of the violence and there was not one
clear and professional choice or a vision
professional of the agricultural sector
This is how I enter and study more
depth and we’re going to look at this
new revolution and we understand that the
main problem of humanity outside
of my passion was a much more purpose
great and that purpose was really
generate food for people and in
Everywhere I heard how we’re going to feed
9.5 billion for the 2050 problem
very serious but we go further back and we
we realize that this has been the
problem of the whole story
millions of years ago the human being
he lived to find how to feed
that’s how
the plow first the nomads will
they move in search of food and so on
they lived for a long time until
they find how to develop agriculture
how to plant your food are established
the cities settle the towns and it’s
a great disruptive revolution
they found how to sow the
cities where cities are created in
the best points to plant
then we are improving those techniques
come the plows animals come
cotton gin comes the
refrigeration and it starts to develop
the agro but as there was no pressure
so big because the population grows
slowly it is finally in all the
history millions of years we come to
1800 with one billion people
but what a surprise when we passed 100
years later to have 2 trillion
people or in 100 years spent what
it had not happened in all of history
before 1800 and an additional topic how
it is possible that for 2017 100 years
then we have seven and a half million
of people and waiting for us to be nine
billions of people in 25 more years
so
and here is a very big problem but
for this there was solution was called the
green revolution that we all know
which the vast majority have studied
mechanization standardization
the fertilizer chemical synthesis
better tractors and that’s how we manage to
these 5 or 6 billion people who are
created in this span of 60 years in the
humanity or 100 years but what is the
cost of this great green revolution if
we have managed to feed the population
but also
we have managed to feed the population
but we have reached a moment of
stagnation again in history
of humanity since 2005 we have not
achieved even with the improved seeds
spend of productivity here there is a
graphic an example of corn where we went
of one ton in 1927 when all the
green revolution to 8 tons but
we are stuck on average then
what will happen and what we achieved with that
green revolution first touched us
extend the agricultural frontier look for more
lands reforest this has generated
greenhouse gases
additionally we must increase the
productivity 70 percent of the water
sweet that we use to
agriculture we use it to
produce food then outside of that
chemical synthesis fertilizers
many go to the waters the water the
we are catching and in many places
wasting because we need to produce
foods
then we look at the population
increases the lands are the same and
we passed in 1970 on 13.38 hectares by
person to 2000 to point 23 hectares per
person and it is expected that by 2050
each person has 15 hectares point
that we can not deforest more we can not
use more water than there is and all
this treated global warming and the
global warming brings as a result
productivity decrease then already
it is not enough to have seeds
genetically improved resilient to
the changes that are generated from the
environment is no longer enough to irrigate
crops is no longer enough to take more
when the trees is a situation that
really need a new revolution
and especially in our countries where
we find that
changed the climate affects more the
productivity in Latin America is expected
that if we continue like this we will have lower
product and productivity between 5 and a
50% for the year 2050
then comes the big question here
talent requires this revolution what
people are the ones that are being devised
how are we going to get ahead to what
is happening at the moment we are
living
first we talked today
of technology of the human being but
really the world today has changed the
world economy we went from being a
Linear growth linear economy
123 to exponential growth 1 2 4 8 16
32 and the curve at the beginning looks flat
but then it grows exponentially and
this allows us to have people
the power of information today a
person has more information than the one
I had the president of the USA 15 years ago
on your mobile phone and agriculture not
is foreign to this today you through
basically five pillars can
connect with life
like the sensors or the Internet of the
things to talk about the internet agriculture
of plants or animals you
let you know what the plant needs
with a real-time sensor in terms
of water in terms of fertilizer in
terms of a control if you are sick
today if we go to the machine all the
information that is generating the world
comes to the cloud and there are engineers
processing the to give predictions
much more accurate than those that can
give the brain of the human being
individually then all this
information that is generating the world
will be able to generate a lot of solutions
more agile much more accurate and that we
they will allow to use less water to use
less energy be more sustainable
increase productivity
we have another one that is the ico month before
We had to take our products to
the square or we just had to
sell it to any intermediary but
today if they go to amazon if they get
alibaba can see how people are
expose their avocado boxes of their
their fruit boxes and boxes products
find the consumer they want
happened the big corporation to have the
control people have control
the internet has given us power has
given control of the things of the
situations as human beings
comes
then in this revolution a
farmer who used to spend eight hours
of your field and traveling it to a
farmer that in an hour at five
in the morning when dawn flies his
drone and passed after eight hours analyzing
that information to go directly
where you have to generate the network
or where you have to solve a problem
has also this acteck revolution
the robots where it already exists
robots that act according to the
thoughts of people where already
there are robots that are harvesting and this
does not mean that the hand of
work this means to transform the
labor that will do other
different tasks
genomic engineering is another part of
the cta
ah
we can choose to continue knocking down trees
to have more livestock or more animals
or we can choose to develop through
of cell reproduction meat that does not
just be rich but bring
micronutrients or macronutrients for
alleviate the health problems of the
Pressure heart people
any kind of disease then
this is already happening this is not new
this is happening in the countries
developed are developing are
printing the food
comes the second revolution the first
it is the art that is what I have just
tell
this does not have that with technology this
It has to do with not wasting
foods
you have asked yourself how much food
they waste a day how much food they leave
in your dishes how much food you lose in
the value chain since planting
until it reaches the final consumer
have asked that more or less between the
30 30 and up to 40% say some
figures that are wasted depending
of the country depending on the chain of
value are more or less 1,300 million
tons only a quarter of that
percentage that is not wasted can
alleviate the hunger of the world in this
moment
more or less 40 million tons
waste America with that we would feed
one billion people
then other talent comes here
people who are going to develop chains
of more efficient supplies and not only
who is working towards the
production the consumer will start to
value being more conscious so as not
waste so many foods and here they come
an example ecommerce internet pages
where they sell products that are not
pretty that have some problem that
they have some mutation I do not know how it
can call and they are buying and in
the trend now in some of the
most developed countries in the world there are
conscience there
let’s go the third are the new models
of production these new models of
production seek to recover the ground
that the city removed to earth and
now let’s make sure to see buildings
producing apartments of certain
oceans boats on their journey are going to
start producing
for example today today that is today they are in
silicon valley in a hackathon for
as will produce mars of
worried
then note that it is not a lie
We are looking for where to produce and Mars
it is an option there is
the fourth we need protein a day
more efficient and for how we speak it
today’s children no longer want many no
all because I’m the one with the most meat
eat and I’m not a child but today they come with
a chip do not want to eat animals
dead that is and they want strong and na and it is
a tendency then come here the
hamburger meat plants
delicious or good insects that
they have high protein
and to round
well as the green reduction was based on
the machinery in technology here does not
there is only one solution is not the
technology is not waste is not
are the production in cities or in
new models is the set of all
these solutions which will produce
a great revolution that is going to
allow to feed 9 billion
people but the most important thing about this
it’s not how we’re going to do it anymore
important is who is going to do it
and that is the role that each of
you each of the human beings and
comes a conclusion that you do not hear much
we need to attract knowledge of
cities we need to get together through
of collaborative knowledge because
today with the knowledge of the person
that knows the land that abel the basics
that knows how to sow that knows how to harvest united
with a mathematician united with an engineer
united with someone who knows genomes
united with someone who knows how to do
algorithms that you can develop can
develop the agriculture of the world today
tendency is not of great passions
today the trend is of human beings
enterprising and with great ideas the
corporations are in each of the
human beings that from any of the
world on any continent through
of an application through the internet
and through intelligence and the
Collaborative knowledge can
develop the new agricultural revolution
are ready to lead the new
revolution thank you very much
