自然循環之道
楊秋忠的酵素飛彈
因氣候變遷、大量使用化學肥料、農藥造成土壤劣化，導致全球面臨糧食生產匱乏的危機，加上有機廢棄物未妥善回收，更使環境雪上加霜。
而中央研究院院士、國內「微生物肥料」催生者楊秋忠，卻能打破數千年來以「微生物」來處理有機廢棄物的慣例，改以「酵素反應劑」催化作用，創下全球最快三小時內將廢棄物轉化為有機肥的方法。正如老子《道德經》所云：「人法地，地法天，天法道，道法自然」，源頭來自土壤的有機廢棄物，變成有機肥回到土壤，如此良性循環，地球才能生生不息。
Following Nature’s Trajectory
Young Chiu-chung’s “Enzyme Missiles”
Global yields of agricultural staples are falling as climate change, chemical fertilizers, and pesticides degrade the world’s soils. Adding insult to environmental injury, organic waste often isn’t recycled and properly reintegrated into the soil system.
Enter Young Chiu-chung, an academician with the Academia Sinica and the godfather of Taiwanese research into microbial fertilizers. Young is attempting to update the thousand-year-old practice of using microbes to break down organic waste. His new method catalyzes decomposition with enzymatic reactants, and produces organic fertilizer in just three hours. The approach, which has its origins in the natural processes soils use to convert organic waste into fertilizer, exemplifies the kind of virtuous cycle necessary to keep the Earth fruitful. As Laozi observes in the Dao De Jing, “Humans follow the laws of Earth, Earth follows the laws of Heaven, Heaven follows the laws of the Dao, and the Dao follows the laws of Nature.”
