0:00 Moderator: Thank you, Derek. That was great. And yeah, we are working on that, [unclear] vegetables and fruits. We're getting there slowly, surely. So a few other things. I wanted to thank everybody for coming, but for myself, I feel like I just took a college course in agriculture listening to Vincent. And so a round of applause. Please be seated. We're all really fortunate to have Korean Natural Farming. It's a simple yet profoundly effective farming mythology. And humanity is at this crossroads, and I think we all are aware of it, where we're using up the fossil fuels,
0:46 the aquifer of California, the rivers, the soils. But with these simple practices, it practically eliminates farming's carbon footprint. It regenerates and revitalizes the soil, conserves water, eliminates soil erosion, as Dr. Koon-Hui is going to demonstrate for us visibly from her research. It's as if we've been given this light and hope and the ability to just feed ourselves. It's an important thing. And so we're here today to recognize Dr. Park and thank him for bringing this to
1:32 Hawaiʻi. And Dr. Park, if you could come up here.
1:35 Unidentified voice: You guys can do better than that.
1:45 Moderator: So thank you, Dr. Park. This is like this light and hope, and thank you so much for training us. Wow. Thank you.
