Villagers React To Vertical Farming ! Tribal People React To Vertical Farming Technology 

This video was very interesting. Since Babu is a farmer, you should show him a video about the Global seeds vault in Norway.

It was so kind of Raeen to comfort Babu. As much as we all like to see progress, it is a little frightening when you are older like Babu and you know you do not have the physical strength to learn complex new ways of doing things. He has spent a long lifetime working hard and has a wealth of knowledge to give his sons' and grandson's. Raeen's children's generation will be the one most effected by these new ways I think. It is up to Raeen and his generation to help his children with the education they will need to be effective in living in a world with new technologies.

Firstly, I love Raeen's interest in and thirst for knowledge, particularly when it comes to scientific things. I do wish he had access to higher education. His whole face changes, eyes light up and it's a beautiful thing! Please let them know that you can do different types of vertical gardening anywhere that doesn't cost much money at all. You should show them a video of these types that they could try right at home. Also you should show them videos on hydroponic gardening that can also be done at home on a small scale and are relatively inexpensive as well. There are lots of RU-vid videos showing how to create small hydroponic systems with everyday items. You don't have to have huge warehouses and mega million dollar equipment to do things like this on a small scale.

That is really an interesting technological perspective, and a great idea to show them. Althoigh I feel sorry for Babu getting future anxieties in the end. However, it made me think of something which is called, I think, urban farming, which, as far as I understand it, is mostly used by private persons and small start-ups as an affordable way to produce crops for personal or local requirement. Maybe that could be something, too, to show them about.

My older brother is a biologist who has been trying to introduce vertical farms / micro greens to urbanization in my country, to help clean the air in cities, less use of farmland to use for more oxidizing plants and for people to grow their own produce at home. This was quite interesting reaction to see.

I'd rather have the vertical farms augment the existing farms than replace them. I don't want corporations controlling ALL food production on earth. I'm also all for urban farming.

Couple of thoughts: Babu is right, the way of the poor farmer will change. They will be a need to retrain them to work in these factories. There will always be niche traditional farms. Minerals in soils and microclimates generate unique food and fruits. Look at the wine industry as an example. I fear any recovered land will just be used for an expanding population and not reclaimed by nature

Thanks for doing the vertical farming video I requested! Their fear of it being high cost makes me think that you should show them cheap green house verticals farming or fog-ponics or aeroponics. Perhaps one on how to build a grow tower out of PVC pipe.

I think Raheen is right. The vertical farms will become important in cities, but the rural areas will continue to grow the grain that is the larger portion of most people's food.

This is a good video for introducing vertical farming, but I would like to see their reaction to DIY vertical farming, which is something they could actually put into practice in their area. There are many video of DIY vertical farms showing how to make produce towers with very limited resources or income.

In previous videos, Babu expressed the desire to see different countries around the world. I believe if the squad reacted to videos from the RU-vid channel “Ryan Shirley” they would really enjoy them. Ryan makes beautiful videos with drones to capture the prettiest landscapes of various countries in extremely high camera quality. I believe Babu especially will love these videos, as he will be able to see videos of countries he’s never seen before 👍

Bhabu impresses me every time. The man is a walking sponge. Raeen is also very intelligent, to the point that in a perfect world I would want his family taken care of while he receives a formal education. I guarantee the money and time spent would be a benefit to mankind.

People can say what they want about America and lord knows that we are not a perfect country, but being a country of immigrants has allowed us to recruit some of the best minds that the world has to offer and to offer people a higher standard of learning. I think our positive contributions to the world far out weight the negative.

Another dynamite reaction from my role models for 2022. Happy new year to all involved in bringing this light into our lives during the past year.

This is also another form of farming, simply exposing these men to new ideas we are planting seeds. These men will excitedly go back to tell what they have learned, hopefully some of this will fall on fertile ground and be put into effect by those with the ability and need. I used to work for Suzlon building their global wind farms. This company started in India due to a man’s need for affordable, stable electricity for his small cotton factory. Now it’s massive and a technological world leader. Great things can grow from a seed. Who knows what this video will spark ! The excitement on these mens faces is delightful to watch, they are so interested in another way of farming. It would be great if somehow they could be taken to other countries to see first hand what else happens in the world. It would be money well spent. I love the respect the younger men in these does show to Babu, the elder. We need some of that in our world.

My hope is that the cost of the vertical farms continues to decline, and people in more urban "food deserts" will have access to fresh foods. This will mean that more of the traditional farms' yeilds can be consumed locally, and rural people will be healthier AND have more leisure time to pursue interests. Too often we are so focused on working and making money that we miss more soul fulfilling activities, like music and art. Interesting topic.

Great video. I learned a lot myself. And I liked how it looked at both sides of the issue, including the potential for this tech to up-end the lives and livelihood of traditional farmers. But a perfect video for these gentlemen to see!

This is very cool! I start plants 🪴 from seedlings 🌱 using LED lights. It gives me herbs 🌿 and lettuce. I have also grown potatoes 🥔 garlic and tomatoes 🍅. Too bad I can't paste a photo.

We already produce more than enough food to feed everyone. The problem is that we throw most of that food away.

Funding Zen mentioned showing them how to vertical farm with PVC pipe. What an excellent suggestion. Small markets in their villages could make quite a good living using both that and an aquaponic system. Individuals are quite capable of that. One does not always need a corporation behind them to be successful.

Too bad Saaru is missing, but this was fun to watch nonetheless!

6:53 You can use *aspects* of it. Forget about the robots, they're too expensive. But you can build buildings, plant plants in them and use LEDs to ensure that they grow despite lack of sunlight. As long as the electricity price is low enough you can earn money on it, allowing you to have better yields then you'd otherwise get from the land area of your current farm. Due to a lack of robots you'd probably have more manual work required in order to replace all the robots used in these western farms, and you'll probably have somewhat lower yields. But the space efficiency should still be there. And you might also get at least *some* of the water conservation effects of these western farms.

As others have noted Raeen deserves the opportunity to be of great benefit to society. It would be wonderful if someone would start a crowdfunded campaign to allow him to get a higher education. I don't have the technical skills to do that myself.

Wowsa, that was interesting. I'd be interested in them reacting to the DIY vertical farming techniques they could use, as suggested by other commenters. This was great for the concept, now show them ways they could put it into practice. One thing I would hope for the future is that governments put together a package plan for small farmers, to provide a basic kit for them to add vertical crops to their current techniques, so they could expand for selling locally, or simply to feed themselves better. That would truly be beneficial!

They LOVE these type of agriculture videos, and I love seeing how fascinated they are.

I was so happy to see this! I suggested it after your last farming video! :D

Not only do I enjoy the Tribal People’s reactions to so many things you have shown them, but I, personally, have learned many things I did not know before, even though I live in the United States.

This is a really informative video, I liked it!👍🏼

This was a really interesting video, I was engaged from start to finish and I really loved hearing their thoughts as well. I would love to see more videos like this in the future!

No sirs, what he said was he can grow as much as a 700 acre farm in just a large building thereby saving the land.

Love Raheem. Definitely my favorite. You should setup a way for them to receive gifts and whatnot. I'd love to help him and his family.

Arey mat karo chinta kuch nahi hoga :DDD Very appropriate way to conclude. As usual, Raeen did notice the 4 bucks a tiny pack of veggies ;) Very nice and suitable video for them!

It would be interesting to see their reaction to a fishing practice from the United States, called " noodling ". People catch large catfish, with their hands, only!

I agree with you friends...not everyone will be able to afford it, just like our medical is now here in the US...farmers will lose their jobs, and only the wealthly will benefit I think.

That are the Videos they have to watch becaus farming is most of their live and every update about modern farming may help them eventually for their own farming. Yes there are a lot of technology they cannot affort but at least the knowleague may help them. Thank you for showing them such a great and informative video about modern farming. maybe there are videos about agriculture whose knowledge you could perhaps use seriously for your own agriculture.

This was a wonderful video and reaction!

It sounds great but it would probably cost a lot of money for average farmers to build warehouses , equipment , technology , water/electricity ) and they would have to employ people to keep it working. I cant really imagine almost 1,5 million farmers in my country to cut down their crops and start building massive warehouses :|

their packaging is heavier than the quantity of product that comes. And made of plástic. That IS really Very good for enviroment.

I was just looking up vertical farming yestarday, this is a wild coincidence.

15:11 True, but that's short term. Long term the technology involved will fall in price. Also, there's aspects of it that *can* be done cheaper, indeed *you* can make use of this to some degree. If you have a house near your farm, you could grow plants along the walls of that house, making use of that extra space a little bit. You could use the roof. You could add automatic watering. And perhaps you can make racks and grow food there too, using those LED lamps. As you make more money you can build roofs over your plants to protect them from the elements and perhaps recover some of the water you spend. If you take your time and do this bit by bit you *can* increase the yields from the limited land areas you have this way, reduce the water cosumption and increase food production from the Earth you have access to. The robots will probably always remain out of reach for you, but with many of these elements you can still improve productivity, making food more available to people, and earn more money yourselves.

This is where the experience and knowledge of the field and their children can join together . Where they can see the results and know the future is in good hands . Small communities have the ability to work together better than any . Build your own and it'll be your communities . P. S. There's also videos for growing live stock fodder . Babu would like that ! Now that's a great idea for a go fund me . Just saying

Did the lighting in your studio break or something? Recent videos are so dark

Interesting. This is indeed a topic with many variables !

There some videos on small scale vertical and/or density container farming that could easily be useful in their area. Main benefit is control and reuse of water. Great series.

Babu sees VERY clearly. Where factories once employed thousands, now they can be handled by dozens. Farming used to employ four fifths of mankind. How many will it employ once it is like this? It is necessary because we are growing in number, but jobs are disappearing. Babu sees this.

That was interesting. Even though Babu got anxious, I don't think that's something that will put him in danger. More likely it will affect the future generations like Raeen's kids. Which is why education is so important.

I hope you will do a show to show the villagers small dwarf Cherry, apple and peach, and other dwarf fruit trees. There are many dwarf trees that grow a variety of seven different fruits on one tree. And show them as well well the many compact space-saving vegetables. They are amazing. You can grow a lot a food even in a small yard.

Salam, Old Baba you are right! bahut shukriya for your nice ghazal!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Do you think it would be a good idea to send our friends some seeds for vegetables, herbs and such? I would love to, but I'm not sure if the climate allows it.

show them PARAGRAPHIC's backyard aquaponics and cultivating gourmet and medicinal mushroom videos

This will be most useful in places without much farmland, like the middle east, or the Sahara or Gobi deserts. Or Mars. And it might even become common is places with abundant farmland, if can be done cheaper than growing crops outdoors. Always remember, in any commercial enterprise cost is the most important factor. Meanwhile, I am trying hard to think of the implications of "giving the land back to the bison." There might be a lot of other unintended consequences that come from that.

If you think the cost of food will come down you are kidding yourself. Once they get their paws on that revenue they will not lower prices.

Love it!

Cheers guys!

Maybe you can show them videos on bottle farming and such where people are taking the principles of vertical farming to their back yard and basements?

There is also hydroponics, which gives a good yield. I do this on a small scale just for the family. I use fish to feed the vegetables and the water goes through the trays back into the fish. This takes a medium pump. They could be shown this as well as they could do this.

can we have a kurzgesagt reaction from these guy next. thank you! or something like the James Webb Space Telescope launch recently?

This is a great one thanks so much

Show them how Iceland has huge greenhouses using the heat from volcanos. I'm not even going to try to explain it cause it's way above my pay grade, but I really enjoyed watching it. Plus you get to see bananas growing in a very cold country.

I'm fascinated as well 😊👏👏

Vertical farming isn't suitable for all crops just the ones in the video, it'll be a long time before the likes Babu has to work in factories :)

Babu,speaking as a retired professional musician all I can say is don't give up your day job!!!!

Great topic, and one that the team can relate to.

You should look up/show them videos on hydroponics and at-home vertical farming. This video was excellent at demonstrating the concept on a large scale, but there are more accessible technologies that may be available to them, perhaps with the help of the channel. 😉

I like the idea of more flavorful food, which I can find when I grow my own! Same with animals, taste better when I raise them then buy from the store, or they all are too expensive. I can see where there are only these types of food factories and that many could starve, if they can not get food, it could be either way, but, corruption is often in many places. Love to you all!

It's a joke, they can only grow leafy plants like salad and spinach... We basically watched infomercial, cause they looking for potential investors.

You should show them Kurzgesagt videos, I think they will love it

I LOVE THESE MEN

If they think it requires money, show them a rammed earth technology video. They can see that they can build an earthen building that'll last thousands of years, is fireproof, and temperature controlled, could be made with local materials around them ro any size they'd like👍, maybe their villages could benefit from this technique .

We have one in Cincinnati called 80 acres farm... It's awesome.

I think traditional farming communities will just be brought into the vertical farms. They will be taught the new farming techniques and then make way more money.

They are very smart. They would be excelent economists, because they think about one thing's implication for everyone

My son is a micro farmer in South Carolina ., Tell them , this farming is very inexpensive , 1,000 X cheaper then regular farming and more profitable .

This could be the answer to food deserts in big cities, lots of places have empty warehouses or big box stores that could hold operations like this. If the great plains of North America could be given back to the Buffalo that could provide a very healthy meat that could feed the whole world sustainably. I hope they figure out growing grains.

Heinz a Condiment company is trying to see if they can grow tomatoes for a brand of Ketchup,Marz Brand of Ketchup! It's going to make Tomatoes for it's Ketchup! It had started this year for future use on Mars!

They can sort of use this without all the high tech. A search of something like "hanging garden wall pocket bags" shows a way to use a sunny wall to grow things. I'm sure they could make it themselves, especially as one of them is a tailor. Building hydropinics on a small scale is really easy. But getting the nutrients right for hydroponics is really hard without buying it. I would think well nigh impossible in a village that hadn't even heard of it.

I thought this was the "COMMON " man show, none of us have anything in common with vertical farming.

This appears to be an old video! The camera doesn't lie.

Hi. I’m now in my 70s now living in England.,make the most of what you have today,good or bad ,because the earth will very soon tell us it’s had enough..and it will punish us and start again

Such advancements will require the recreation of Universal Basic Incomes (UBIs) - the simple fact is that with such tech not everyone has to work, or everyone just works a little bit.

Before I listen to their commentary, this video was scary to me tbh. I felt like I was watching a commercial. This was not a hard reset, this was a hard sell. Ppl are already concerned about GMO and now we have to wonder what genitically engineered food will do. We're always told we don't get enough sun and the lack of vitamin D on mood and immunity. Now food will be grown with artificial light like someone growing weed in their basement. I understand the need and want of every thing explained in this video, but at what cost?

the only drawback from micro farming is that it does away with bee colonizing , so, grow flowers .

Babu is right to be concerned. However, vertical farming is in its infancy; it will be a long time before it can expand. I think he missed the idea that vertical farm complexes provide jobs in many areas, not just the raising of crops; construction, harvesting, packaging, and so on. Therefore, should vertical farming ever reach his area, local farmers can learn new techniques and still make a living. Small local farms will still be useful as well. Also, with the clean environment, there is no need to use pesticides, which will also benefit people's overall health. However, that will not happen overnight, and though Babu and Raeen are right to be concerned, there will be time to adapt so that few, if any, people are adversely affected.

This tech is good for small crops. I don’t see how it would work for forest crops. Maybe farmers of the land should plant nut and fruit trees?

Disney has been doing this for DECADES

It’s sad that Babu thinks that all the new things he’s seen and experienced on this channel just started when they were shown to him within the past year. He thinks the world is changing. The world has changed. Yes some things are recent advances but a lot are decades old.

Yes this is something even I haven’t heard about the west I try to keep up on technology what is the first time I’ve heard of us of this and it is true what they’re saying it has many advantages and disadvantages However it is another option and perhaps disadvantages could be ironed out somehow for instance workers that normally work in the fields could be working for vertical farming

Show them about aquaphonics in Singapore

I think they kinda missed the point that the technology is getting cheaper and cheaper. I don't want to sound rude, but there should've been a clarification made to both of them when they talked about it only being used by the rich.

You guys need to invest in alvacados in India. Get what land you can , and start learning the nuances of the crop . You wont get wealthy for a few years , but then the final selected trees mature , and things will change.

It would be superb if we were able to train and develop our wise and hardworking friends to the point where we could build the facility for them to run and manage. They have proven many times over that they are deep thinkers and I would have total confidence that they would be able to make a success of it. Give a man a fish....

we are in the future imagine 100 years from now

Do whatever you cannot feed Nation's with these technologies

People will develop new skills to match progress.

If you don't have to turn land over to farming, it can be turned to other things. Besides which, animals still need farming. But how many people gain employment from farming as it is over there? Yes change is upending, but you can't see it in isolation and out of context. These things need to make sense in a way current economic paradigms don't. Any technological shift in consciousness must be commensurate with a shift in humanitarian modalities.

The only problem I can see is the food being too clean. If the immune system doesn’t have exposure to lots of different things then it is weaker. If food is too clean then our immune systems will be worse which means we will be more likely to get ill and our illness will be worse. A way around this is adding certain bacteria, etc into the food, taking sort of immune system booster pills, or general immune system boosting shots to compensate for the lack of pathogens in our food.

This technology is beyond their reach and not applicable to their lives. However, showing them mixed-size greenhouses and cold frames is within their reach. Especially the DIY ones. If they can just start their seeds earlier and harvest later, they can grow much more in the same space.

I bet the farmers would be good at helping replenish all that nature that's currently being used for human food. They could get work planting trees and otherwise helping to bring nature back to where it should be, since robots can't really do that in a forest.

Is the lighting different in this video i dont think it looks right please change it back to the previous lighting

Raeen is a smart dude.
