How to grow a forest in your backyard | Shubhendu Sharma

Ғылым және технология

Forests don't have to be far-flung nature reserves, isolated from human life. Instead, we can grow them right where we are -- even in cities. Eco-entrepreneur and TED Fellow Shubhendu Sharma grows ultra-dense, biodiverse mini-forests of native species in urban areas by engineering soil, microbes and biomass to kickstart natural growth processes. Follow along as he describes how to grow a 100-year-old forest in just 10 years, and learn how you can get in on this tiny jungle party.
TEDTalks is a daily video podcast of the best talks and performances from the TED Conference, where the world's leading thinkers and doers give the talk of their lives in 18 minutes (or less). Look for talks on Technology, Entertainment and Design -- plus science, business, global issues, the arts and much more.

For anyone who's asking, no, I didn't get started yet, mainly because I don't have a backyard to practice on. I'm getting a degree in environmental sciences and then I'll probably get a master's in forest sciences. Meanwhile I'm saving up with my boyfriend to buy some land in the countryside and hopefully start a food forest project. I'm feeling really inspired! Let's make the world greener :)

Let's suppose for a moment that Pakistan is indeed sending terrorists to India, do you think I would be related to the terrorists or in-charge of them? NO, I'm just a Pakistani citizen giving a positive complement to Shubhendu Sharma and you instead focus on giving a negative remark in response to that. I view that as pathetic.

    The Internet Being an idiot about things, and making decisions based mainly on ideology, instead of the effects they have is still ENORMOUSLY idiotic. Like it or not, if you want nitrates in your soil you will have to put them there. Even if it feels "dirty" or "industrial". Since natural collection rates, are very limited,(just like the natural creation of nitrous oxides - by lightning). Why does being "green" always have to mean being a moron, who spends time moralizing instead of helping the actual cause they preach for?

Even though Mr. Shubhendu Sharma is an engineer by profession, he has transformed himself into a forest generator. I live in a small forest, on top of a hill, myself; there are 155 trees in my yard, which is home to raccoons, squirrels , deer, rabbits and muskrats. I intend to plant two dozen more hardwood trees - oaks - in the fall. Thank you very much for uploading this video. You are an inspiration to nature conscious and nature friendly people like me.

    I am from Kerala, the southern most state of India. Here we had 'sacred groves' in almost every household which are like small forests. There will be idols of Serpent King inside the grove. Because people were so scared of the serpent God, no one dared to destroy these thick vegetation. These sacred groves were tiny forests where as mentioned here, not even a falling leaf was removed. Since almost every house had such a grove, the rain water seeped down, filling ponds and wells with good potable water. Of course many temples still have such groves. In the past two to three decades, all most all these sacred groves in the houses have been cleared due to rapid urbanisation, want of space for buiding new houses and also as many people have lost faith in all these traditions. Result : the water table level has gone down, there is water scarcity. The flora and fauna typical to the 'kavu' or sacred grove is lost. This year we had a never before flood too. Now the State Government is planning to build such sacred groves again, with the support of churches and temples.

    I have my own backyard forest. Stated with 1/3 acre of lawn, have been removing it by hand for years since I don't use chemicals. Right now I have quite a few fruit trees blooming, they are being spread by the birds, same as the raspberries. Many trees have shown up on their own, including the nitrogen fixing ones. I have almost every kind of fruits that can grow in very cold weather, since winters here can go to -65 F (-53.8 C). I started on my own when I was 60, 12 years ago. I also have an area for growing vegetables. It is a certified Wildlife Habit by the Wildlife Federation. It is located in the old section of a town of lawns. Lots of birds and other wildlife. A lot of work but worth it. You don't need a lot of money, I'm on Social Security. As to the photos by the guy talking you can bet that he started with fully grown trees to have they that high is just 2 years. Of course the people who give TED talks are not your regular every day folks.

    This is so important... When I was a kid there were birds and insects everywhere, not any more. I used to see millions of starlings as a child, now we have none whatsoever. All it took was 35 years and they're all gone. And it's not just the starlings, it's all the birds... Bees are in dangerously sharp decline too. If we are not careful we are going to lose what we have forever. This needs to be made into a blueprint that others can follow worldwide to recreate your work. If you're the younger generation you don't realise what we have already lost, talk to the older people and see for yourself. If I knew how, I'd devote half my land to this project... I'd like to find more information to do this. Superb speech Sir. Kudos. 🍺🍺🍺👍👍👍😎😎😎

    For me, there is nothing more rewarding than raising up a cedar tree from seed. Of the thousands of trees I have planted, given away or sold, I can go and visit them anytime I choose. Since I've been doing this for so many years, I'm rewarded with watching them grow and thrive. The ultimate reward is knowing that long after I'm gone, these trees will continue to grow and benifit nature in hundreds of ways. Started this as a stress reducer. It worked beyond any expectations I could have imagined. Go plant something. Teach a youngster how to plant and care for a tree. very, very rewarding!!
