A type of protein powder being produced by a company in Finland is making headlines. It's said to save space, save the environment and potentially feed masses of people but there are a number of concerns about it. For one thing, it's grown in a laboratory. It takes heavy machinery to produce it and building those machines with concrete and steel can have a negative environmental impact.
芬蘭一家公司生產(chǎn)的一種蛋白粉成為新聞?lì)^條。據(jù)說,它可以節(jié)省空間,保護(hù)環(huán)境,并可能養(yǎng)活大量的人,但也有很多人對(duì)此感到擔(dān)心。首先,它是在實(shí)驗(yàn)室里培育的。它需要重型機(jī)械來生產(chǎn),用混凝土和鋼鐵建造這些機(jī)器會(huì)對(duì)環(huán)境產(chǎn)生負(fù)面影響。
The protein powder hasn't been approved yet for human consumption and critics say it can't produce enough food to feed enough people at a good enough price. But that's not stopping Solar Foods from moving forward.
這種蛋白粉還沒有被批準(zhǔn)可供人類食用,批評(píng)人士說,它不能以足夠好的價(jià)格生產(chǎn)足夠多的食物來養(yǎng)活足夠多的人。但這并沒有阻止太陽能食品公司的發(fā)展。
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: It's not often that scientists gather around multi- million dollar machinery to eat pancakes but today is that day.
未知女性:科學(xué)家們聚集在價(jià)值數(shù)百萬美元的機(jī)器旁吃煎餅的情況并不常見,但今天就是這樣的日子。
UNIDENTIFIED MALE: We're doing that just for fun every now and then.
未知男性:我們這樣做只是為了偶爾好玩。
UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: The team however isn't just in it for the fun. They say they're making an entirely new ingredient out of thin air using this and it could revolutionize how food is made. Whether it's the crops (ph) that grow from it or the cattle that live on it, the ground is crucial creating what we eat but agriculture is one of the world's largest sources of green house gases. That's why in Helsinki, the company is trying to remove land from the equation.
未知女性:然而,這個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)不僅僅是為了好玩。他們說,自己正在利用這種技術(shù)在稀薄的空氣中制造一種全新的成分,這可能會(huì)徹底改變食物的制作方式。無論是農(nóng)作物,還是生活在土地上的牛,土地對(duì)我們的飲食至關(guān)重要,但農(nóng)業(yè)是世界上最大的溫室氣體來源之一。這就是為什么在赫爾辛基,該公司正試圖將土地從等式中移除。
