Visiting the Farm of the Future 

More like overproduction for some and underproduction and failure to distribute for the rest.

@@nihilistic9927 yes exactly

Prices don't reflect overproduction.

Make healthy sustainable food free and not make fast foods and other harmful products cheaper than greens

We need overproduction so we have a surplus, last year huge amounts of crops in east africa, middle east and china were destroyed by floods, locusts etc, but thanks to other countries overproducing they were able to import food without issues, if the world was producing exactly what we needed, if there is ever an agricultural disaster somewhere, we would literally starve to death. The food waste is a small price to pay to ensure famine is never a thing again, thats why every country has a policy to subsidise farmers to overproduce.

Yea that seems like aeroponics rather than hydroponics from my -experience- understanding

@@thereal6131 hydroponics is hydroponics, the plant takes elements straight from the water on a lower pH scale5.5-5.9, also on that pH scale is soilless soil mediums like coco and peat. Soil growing relies on the microbial activity in the soil to break down the nutrients into pieces the roots can uptake, the pH scale is higher 6.1-6.9. There are lots of ways to feed the plant straight nutes from a reservoir, from drippers, from running water over the roots NFT, misters, etc. It's just a catch all term for non microbe, non rhizosphere growing. Problem with hydroponics of any type is that it needs to be dialled in correctly or else you might as well have grown 20% slower vigor in soil; one mistake in most types of hydroponics and the crop is doomed, there's a lot more chances to bring the crop back in soil. PS. And yes, cannabis growers be like that's oldschool, ive been applying unconventional ways of growing for years, vertical is king; but it's nice to see it applied on a large scale for once, without just being a conceptual prototype. People need to just get over nuclear energy and we would be in a good spot to start growing en masse like this.

That’s what’s great about growing. there is so much competition and money to be made that people have the energy to think of innovations that will change the agricultural aspect of production.

More like "That's a waste of time and money"

@@paddington1670 definitely easier to bring a plant in hydro back than soil lol. Your first year growing I take it? 🤣

I was literally just wondering how it came to be. That ain't no Iowa accent and she also doesn't have a name you'd commonly see there. She doesn't look very old, so maybe part of her formative years were spent in the UK. Either way, I suspect her origin story could intriguingly be called pan-global

seriously lol i was so distracted by it

An Indian by origin, lived in Iowa with Indian upbringing and now moved to UK. Her accent is how we speak in an Indian household.

She (kinda) has the American rhoticity, but also just English but also kind of West Country.

Dude I was trippin out. I was like, is this british or american? Lool guess it’s both.

Yhh the accents take their turns.

British accents are overrated As a non native English speaker, I think North American accents are more accurate and natural to the ear than British, Australian and kiwi ones

Interesting

You're not even a top 10 country for Agricultural imports. You export just as much as you import. Not sure you really know what you're talking about.

Mateo, they said holland is top greenhouse creator. I just commented on another top comment about the (cow methane power supply) that is being untapped by millions of farms worldwide now. Methane is the biggest one, along with nitrogen like you said, as places like Chicago have pollution now in the lake because of excess nitrogen use by humans going into the water supply. This is world wide 2 major issues, you are correct. But the methane is 20x stronger than cars, why are humans so stuck on fixing cars and not the bigger methane issue to power our society? Keep your head up, cheers

@@ehrgeiz5649 not a top 10 importer, but they produce exponentially more food than they consume, if a country like the US could do that at the same level, then so many more countries could be plunged out of poverty, providing basic needs, as well as making the United States more than just the global police with their massive military.

I want a verticle plot

We do it with strawberries here in Louisiana. We have a system running in our backyard. The main benefit for us really comes down to the yield amount even though we’re using such a small area. We were able to stop buying and have enough production for the whole family using a 10x10ft area. We even have enough for two of our neighbors.

@@robertmoray988 Hi Robert! So there’s tons of different design ideas but PVC has worked well for us. We mostly use a gravity system, so inputs: fertilizer, food, and water, go in at the top of the system and are naturally pulled through the system to the lowest run of plants. There’s a book- “Vertical Gardening” by Derek Fell that helped us along the way. It’s not necessary though as there’s tons of information for free online. Google image search: “vertical strawberry growing” and you will have everything you need to know. You can use hydroponic systems or conventional systems. Good luck! Let me know if there’s any snags or questions you come across and I’ll do my best to help you out.

Do you know who Artur Rehi is? The Estonian soldier youtube? I love that dude!!

@@YeshuaDisciple916 I think a lot of Estonians know him in fact.

Easily combined with small fish farms.

If you like aquaponics, you're gonna *love* aeroponics (Similar method using the plant in a non-soil substrate, but rather than bathing the roots in a trough full of nutrient water, they aerate the solution - the end result is an increased energy cost for fan/pump use, but something like 90-99% less water used)

Yeah for weed

It remind me that in montreal there are urban mushroom farm producing a lot in a very little space

@@joshuacarson6576 cannabis. Gotta work together to kill the stigma.

If anything, I'd advise buying hydro in stages, and learning about what plants you'd like to grow along the way. It's not too steep of a curb. Your electric company will love you though!

Try aquaponics it’s worth it

That's the future, small personal farms. The "scarcity" scam is outrageous. If we could get back to everyone or even just 20% of a local community growing food, having chickens, ducks, rabbits, and even some with a cow. There would be plenty to go around. I've given family and friends so much food and eggs this past year and for many more to come because I'm constantly trying to learn and build my soil everything here is a closed loop system as much as I can. It just take more responsibilities and work and most are just lazy to start. You keep doing work 🤘

Everything in this video is scalable.. the organic for sure, and the hydro. I get a 401K and work in both areas for the 'herb'

Nothing in this video is scalable, and the vertical farming isn't even profitable. Also, we already have monopolization of agriculture. Just look at the US, the family farm just doesn't work anymore. Because of the efficiency gains from large scale industrial farming the family farm is the thing of the past (my grandfather was the last in my family). Today all poultry is owned by three companies and over time the same thing will happen in all agriculture.

@@dertythegrower Nothing in this video is scalable, and it's not profitable outside of marijuana production.

Vertical farming looks to be scalable once the technology, and some other technologies, improve. There's some very informative videos on it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-dnCQuwCtqJg.html from ExaCognition. Basically the main drawbacks of vertical farming are that you need to pay for all of the energy that goes into the plants, as well as all the nutrients, which are totally or often free in conventional farming. So, plants used in vertical farming are bred and changed to have larger edible parts and smaller and smaller non-edible parts; the controlled environment in a vertical farm means the plants don't need certain features to survive, like they would in the wild. The larger the edible parts are the less nutrients are wasted in the non-edible parts. The other side of the coin is like you said; it's only really effective on crops like micro greens right now, because they take such a small amount of energy to grow. Growing more energy-dense foods like potatoes, corn, or really any grains, is wildly expensive compared to normal farming right now because of the cost of energy. As energy production technologies improve, however, and energy costs go down, we could see higher-energy foods become cost-effective in the future.

the only thing that's scalable is organics. The reporter is very wrong in many things. What's the point of growing vertically? nobody eats just lettuce and microgreens. worldwide we are wasting 35% of the agricultural production , so let's fix that first

Well your own little garden won’t be able to supply the rest of the world with food.

Like you can afford this lol

@@andrewt6058 no ones gardens will support the whole population. I think vertical farms are more of a necessity because our population is rising whilst we are running out of arable land to farm on. Small scale farms can feed maybe a small town but it could never successfully feed an entire city without becoming industrialized in itself.

@@prod.winterxphool6227 The problem of industrial farming is industrial farming itself... without insects we cannot survive. we have to change our way of farming and living in general

@@KD-op4yz right, its called an ecosystem for a reason

"Decentralize"? This is complete centralization.

Being self sufficient to grow your own food is the way to go forward. Not relying on corporations to serve your food needs is very positive lifestyle choice. You save money, eat 100% organic and naturally grown produce and vegetables. Also eating meat that is living in a open and free environment, with livestock getting plenty of fresh air.

@@abundantwrage7029 the vertical farm is centralized. the small local food movement is not

@@fredgalaxy7632 that also implies the re-engineering of cities as current development is based on buildings and highways for the the single car driver. And don't forget that people just want to study law, business, or become a famous streamer and/or vlogger; so they can earn the big bucks to show it off in social media platforms, and don't want to be bothered with concepts like empathy, moderation, self-discipline, frugality, or sustainability. In summary, a change in what has driven human beings in the last 2.000 years or so: selfishness.

@@fredgalaxy7632 No, it's not. The planet needs lands to create natural aircomditioner. We need a paradigm shift in agriculture. Unskilled farmers hurt the planet more than skilled farmers.

Education and financial support for the everyday person to join this effort would solve so many problems simultaneously.

Yeah but that requires a lot of manpower to work them. Imagine how much of the population would have to be farmers to sustain this

@@graypudding3005 they dont. you can use the best of both worlds and ppl already doing it. like useing animals that need no maintenance at all like fish and use their water to grow plants, the rest of the water goes back to the fish and there is your closed loop with no waste

@@graypudding3005 want your food at a reduced price? Simple, watch a trained volunteer pick your desired food a few times and then pick your own food from then on

@@gcod3d161 But where would I pick it from? I’d need a solid bit of land to grow food for myself, and that would take lots of work. I couldn’t just travel to fields around me, I would spend more time traveling from field to field for food than is possible if I would want to hold a job. There’s a reason supermarkets exist, to pick up all of your groceries in one place. Also where does this food I pick come from, few farmers are going to work for free. It’s a nice idea, but I simply don’t think it is possible.

degenerates

They could probably transfer all their expertise to growing crops too come to think of it y not 😏

we have great cannabis here🤌🏾🤪

Annoying potheads

@@MyWifesSon69 my heart, you have crushed it 🥺

@Paul Revere It takes 10 times as much land to grow animals for consumption than it does to grow crops for people. The only reason we started eating meat in the first place was to get fat in our bodies which gives you energy to do things. Now we can get fat from a variety of sources.

I didn't know that,Much Mahalo 4 the info. I am currently doing this on Oahu,Hi.

T123 who rebuilt Japan? Who stepped Japan of its military? Get a clue

I hope that you put that out to the universe to grow your own food on your land

If you aren't maximizing the 1 acre or half acre you have, the universe won't give you more. It won't give you more than you can handle.

Buy a plot? Farmland is not very expensive.

But the land, build your own small house. It’s not that expensive if you don’t mind being far from people

Good morning secksy man

The World Says Hello.

And welcome more volcanic ash :/

its not natural its like steroids

Actually it is!!! It takes a thousand years or more to recreate even just a tiny layer of fertile soil. It essentially creates deserts. High yield farming dramatically degrades soils, even with better no till, rotation practices. It's easier to understand if you consider soil health the same way you'd consider a aquifer.

I caught that lol!!

That's because the camera crew was problably from the Netherlands. He just couldn't there.

What is de-cEntralized farming

@@malaciousmark3903 The opposite of what we are seeing here: local production is meeting local consumption, thus resulting in a lot less emissions from transport.

@@f.d.6667 yes but if transport is less then it takes to make these plants indoor then it doesn’t matter. That being said I am all for centralized farming and importing food. Both have their place!

​@@malaciousmark3903 I think you might be missing the key idea here (underlying physics and thermodynamics): local production AND local consumption equals *zero* transport, thus no emissions. And "Plants indoors" always means collecting, transporting and distributing energy, water and nutrients - so it's systemically worse that conventional farming. *Don't get me wrong: I love imported foods and centralized farming is keeping greens affordable - and I don't have a problem with that at all!* My point is rather that the video is big BS, as it is trying to sell the viewer "more of yesterday" as the future. And that is a bit annoying and irresponsible, looking at the target group VICE has.

you never seen hydroponics? you should surf the internet more then, if you are *absolutely amazed* by this

Meh

You can also farm hydroponic I did it as a kid. My family had several farms. You learn a lot thru the 👀👁 of a child. God bless 🙌 the farmer's.

as a dutchman working in horty culture i can asure you; with enough funds and electricity, the netherlands can produce so much food in such a small place, the human population can easely double, twice! the real problem is grains, soy and corn they need way to much space and are 90 per cent used as animal feed

Can confirm, as a corporate cannabis grower for the biggest company on the stockmarket, many farms are now copying hemp and hydroponics farmers who started in the 'herbal smoke' scene. Also the purple aka 'blurple LED' is long behind now, as Samsung has a pure white light using the lm301 chip, which surpassed the purple/blurple led many years ago. This farm shown is kind of behind now in terms of technology and farming innovation being used by the top indoor cannabis farms in America.

Great point Ken. It can be done, but what is under those farms is massive pollution and loss of animal life in the area.

Only migrants working there ...probably all mafia owned

@@remoir6273 3 euro a day coming bro that's bullshit it's more like 30 euros sometimes 40 euros for 8 hours work

But, with the cost of living and products within inner cities, the closer to the inner city you get, the more those costs get drowns and wiped out compared to the value it brings. Think about a skyscraper in downtown manhatten that is a massive vertical farm, and the value that would bring to manhatten to get rid of their food desert. (Skyscraper farms have been discussed before... but the major bottleneck is how to have vast amounts of water that high up and the pumps needed for it, as well as the weight that would have to be accounted for. But I believe)
