description:
Moderated by Walter Orr Roberts; 00:20 Roberts begins the panel by introducing himself and the speaker; 02:45 Carl N. Hodges begins his discussion. He talks about how much he learns when he attends the Conference of World Affairs. He also talks about the language of technology; 08:58 Hodges talks about a previous plenary session about the space program and the aesthetic experience of looking at the earth from the moon. He also talks about the environment of the moon. While looking at the image of earth, Hodges mentions that most of the planet is covered by water which makes up a small percentage of the food market and most of the food is harvest by land; 10:27 Hodges points out that much of the land is not habitable for food and those problems have led to predictions of famine. Hodges believes that is not going to be the case because the main source of food comes from the sun; 11:55 Hodges talks about the problem of having fresh water available on the earth. He also talks about creating a desalting plant for water; 13:20 Hodges talks about a new form of agriculture which involved encapsulating the plant and then using humidity from the sea water to create a tropical environment; 15:30 Hodges mentions a project he worked on using waste water; 16:36 Hodges talks about the shrimp project and how the technology can make a contribution to the natural environment; 25:40 Hodges talks about another project regarding the use of carbon dioxide for increase in plant growth; 26:00 Hodges talks about a project called the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow (Epcot) built by Walt Disney in Florida for people to experiment with technology. He continues to talk about a ride and pavilion about the story of agriculture at Epcot; 29:55 Hodges talks about space colonization and the future of food production; 32:40 Audience member asks how we introduce water into new environments; 33:40 Roberts asks how we will introduce water in space; 34:08 Audience member asks why we need to go to the moon to grow food while there are equally hostile places on earth; 34:59 Audience member asks if these technologies will be able to be used by developing countries and people who are already struggling with food and resources; 37:09 Audience member states they have heard about technology fixing the world’s problems before so what reassurance can Hodges give to ensure this isn’t a pipe dream. Audience member also asks about the Green Revolution; 40:30 Audience member states that the Green Revolution failed because it required fertilizer; 42:22 Audience member asks a question [cataloger’s note: audience member quiet and question difficult to decipher]. Hodges talks about the jojoba plant and industry; 43:58 Audience member asks how one deals with the salt intake in the soil; 45:47 Roberts thanks Hodges and ends the panel.
