Best Environment, agriculture & food systems Videos
「Environment, agriculture & food systems」下面有104部被不同的人、在不同月份推荐过的视频。挑的时候先看对象:入门2部,适合还没学过的人;进阶2部,适合已经懂术语的人;普通向100部,按兴趣就能看;更硬的0部,留给想看推导或细节的人。这一类数量最多的是讲解,所以它们的共同点是用一个图像或类比把一个概念补上。常出现的频道包括Veritasium、TEDx Talks、Kurzgesagt – In a Nutshell。目录给这个主题划的范围是:Environment and farming: conservation, pollution, plastics, recycling, water, deforestation, farming, regenerative agriculture, fisheries, food supply, vertical farming, sustainability.如果只看三部,就从《Dominion (2018) - full documentary [Official]》开始,它负责把问题讲出画面;然后看《Treating the Farm as an Ecosystem with Gabe Brown Part 1, The 5 Tenets of Soil Health》,换一种讲法或例子;最后看《The Most IMPORTANT Video You'll Ever See (part 1 of 8)》,留给已经有基础的人。页面按每页24部切开,顺序看的是被推荐跨越了多少个月,不是播放量。每条标题下面那一句是这部片子自己的内容说明,用来区分它在讲定义、过程、演示还是观点。点进去能看到推荐原话、原文链接和适合谁看。看的时候把强烈推荐当成有人明确叫你去看,把引用当成只是拿来举例,把批评留下来对照,不要把每条评论都当成同一力度。
