luckely, antartica is the only place on earth that has been worldwide agreed that no one owns the underground riches or can exploit the continent for economical activities. only scientific studies and expeditions are allowed, huge different with the north pole .. with current competition to claim as much underwater seebed as possible, for future extractions of hoped oil, minerals and other earthly riches ... the polar bear stand very little chance to survive in but a few isolated places, long term in the wild ..

You’re not allowed to grow anything in Antarctica. Even their trash has to be taken away. You can watch PBS Terra. They have a lot about the people living there.

I guess a step in the right direction from deep sea mono-culture farms, would be to grow several things in the same area, like having kelp forests and mollusc farms in the same general area. maybe bad example if they eat the same stuff, i'm just curious about this, i don't actually know much about it, but there should be combinations of deep sea farming that would kind of cancel each others environmental consequences out to a certain degree. what do you think? if you have some stuff for me to read on hand, feel free to link it :D I'll look into regenerative agriculture now.

@@tjardhamming441 Thanks, ill check it out immediately. I've heard some rumours about in doors farms in Holland using machine learning to optimise farming, so I think machine learning would be your best bet when it comes to managing a scaling up of an on surface permaculture. They use it to get some giga yield tomato plants, but I think that tech is far better used in determining how much red clover you need to plant criss crossing your giant wheat fields, to make sure the soil is constantly refilled with nitrogen.

@@tjardhamming441 Thanks :D

My friend continued his agriculture study in Holland exactly for this reason. Good to know the knowledge she learned is developing so quickly

I think you have the right idea for sure. In the long term, hopefully once as many people as possible will be lifted out of poverty and into a "middle class" life with plenty of food and access to education and health care, people will continue to have children later and having fewer children. As I'm sure you know population growth has already slowed down a lot in developed countries around the world, to the point where we can even expect to see declining populations. If humanity can learn the lessons of natural systems that you mentioned, things could like quite good long term, if we can make sure there's enough of the natural world left to bounce back after the population peak that's coming.

Yeah, most of this video is hard to accept as a vegan. I'd rather see governments impose taxes on meat consumption and provide incentives to non-monoculture fruit and veggie production. We've been underpaying for our food for so long, the only way people will change their habits is through their wallets.

@@JakeLipohar as another fellow vegan, I 100% agree. 👍

@@leeb9342 Same could be said about plants. As of now, there is no way around it. We just have to sacrifice life to stay alive and healthy. Whole another thing is needless sacrifice! We should plan ahead on what we eat in advance so there is no staggering amount of wasted food.

@@JakeLipohar So you want us to pay more for food we don't want to eat in the first place. Brilliant. You do realize that plants feel pain and scream in agony when you harvest them too right? They just do it at a frequencies that humans can't hear. If your eating food then you stole or murdered a living creature to have it or paid others to do it for you. Food is food. Stop trying to force your vegan nonsense down the throats of those of us who prefer to eat a balanced diet instead of an extreme and unhealthy one.

@@JosephDiveley There is also environmental reason to be vegan. Although if the blue revolution does occur, it might solve one issue. Where did you get the info that plants feel pain? Also it is in fact possible to have a healthy and balance vegan diet.

of course they know about this, and they tried to develop full cycle tuna farm and now there is already fully farmed tuna in japan. The main problem of aquaculture, especially mariculture, regarding to the wild population is aquaculture FEED. A lot of trash/junk fish that used to feed the farmed fish are from bycatch or wild captured so it really impacted on wild population. But again, a lot of effort went to find solution about this problem, such as using plant-based protein e.g. soy bean meal and insect-based protein e.g. maggot meal as substitute for fish meal in formulated feed edit : maybe because of my bad english, i should add here, that wild fish population is declining, and one of the reasons is from aquaculture. Why this is happened, eventhough aquaculture is said to be lowering the pressure to wild population because of fisheries activities ? because aquaculture operation needs fish meal in order to feed the farmed fish, and the fish meal that used are from, as i mentioned, wild population and bycatch. Is there any solution about this ? ofc, to substitute the fish meal with plant-based or insect-based feed, such as soy bean or maggot meal for fish feed. Nowadays aquaculturist strives to developt more sustainable methods of fish farming, to mitigate the impacts to the environment and to prevent ecological disasters

Adding in the the feed in aquaculture a bud development would also be using kelp and seaweed as the feed stock. We already use it in our vegetarian and vegan burgers as a meat substitute

Thanks for straightening out these clearly idiotic people condemning monoculture while simultaneously pushing it for the sea . We need people like you to keep an eye on these types of people. Somehow I feel as if china is behind this vid.

@@johnrutledge3892 lol

As an Australian where the tuna industry was revolutionized by the exact process you described we have come to realise that that exact process has had a huge impact on wild stocks because it leaves nothing. The information on that has come from within the actual industry itself and its been people from within that industry who have funded all the research to breed tuna. Which they have finally done a couple of years ago. In future they hope to replace the wild stocks and also not rely on wild stocks. What he does NOT explain in the slightest are they tons of smaller fish (like pilchards) that have to be wild caught to feed them ad non one yet knows what damage is being done there. What he also does not mention is the incredible damage being done to places like Tasmania where they have now found that if you put too many salmon pens in one place it can do massive damage. Fish like all animals piss and shit and just like they have with cattle feed lots if you pack too may fish into a pen all that shit and piss falls to the bottom and wrecks everything. Its it a massive concern for the salmon farmers absolutely as they have lost entire pens because of water pollution. So they are working on it, but when you try and tell companies with big investments they have to change they don't like it.

V need more heroes like u

@@tronation1932 aww thanks. The best thing is, I’m 16. I have a whole life to do this, and all my classmates are too busy with parties and stuff. I’d wish others would do this as well. I would appreciate helps much. I literally took over the role of the protector of an almost extinct ecosystem: the Dutch peatlands. Plus I really didn’t expect al these likes 😊

Great project, here's one important thing to note for anyone doing this: Make sure the flowers are actually local wildflowers that bees can eat from and not invasive species, especially if you plant them in the wild, because invasive species take away nutrients from native flowers and can be "inedible" for bees. Some studies done on "bee flower" and "wild flower" seed mixes and "seed bombs" have found that they often contain invasive species, so do research and stay vigilant.

hey is there a website you can link me to about this? how could i help? how could i do this in my own little area of the world?

@@atinysoftbean1645 yep I know that. That is why I studied local wildlife and flowers, researched what flowers bees used and then started to collect seeds to sow coming spring and then plant in the wilderness. It’s really important to watch out for invasive species, they could cause the opposite of what I want to achieve. And it is also not worth it if it doesn’t help the bees

Don't forget automation

an oil platform presumably generates its own energy to run. Aquaculture platforms will need to play around with solar and hydro turbines to get a consistent level of electricity, especially for emergencies.

@@benedict6962 nuclear technology has the answer here. And I don't mean a full scale reactor but rather the ones used by icebreakers and submarines. They're small nuclear reactors which aren't as efficient but very safe.

I think it's an economic problem here as oil is much more profitable and less labor intensive than fishing ,so it doesn't make economic sense to house people in the middle of the ocean for fishing . Not to mention the lack of motive for people to go live in the middle of the ocean if they get paid the same amount of money.

Yeah, I can't imagine that due to the lack of experience and technology it's now worthwhile for private companies to invest in this full-on mariculture without heavy subsidies. It's just cheaper to go on the ocean with a boat and hunt those 'free' fish.

What's it about, brudda

something like a hyper-industrialized tech world where the entire planet is covered by cities and the ocean is just a food production facility?

@@davidtitanium22 yuck wouldn't want to live there

I've been working on fleshing our merfolk settlements in dnd and their agriculture has been something I was struggling with before. Especially as I was trying to explore them growing beyond nomadic hunters.

plastic :D we GMO the fish and feed them plastic!

@@laszloiso777 lol not on my plate!

@@PiecesOfNature Then we GMO humans to be able to digest plastic fish :D

You can grow food for them out there, then also cheaply ship in everything else you need. Plus the more things you farm out there will create an oasis of nutrients.

you feed them pellets that you get shipped every month for instance, and then you have a place to keep it out htere at sea, like a silo, and then you just feed your fish whenever you want to

Lol you're a thermometer

@@EllisIsland2023 ship wrecks and rust

I was thinking about "and the really naive count on vertical farming". Way to insult by far the most efficient and environmentally friendly form of food production without any justification. Lost all respect for this channel

Yeah and all the useless lies. Like livestock using up 75% of farmland. But that land is unsuitable for crops! It’s suitable for grazing. I’m sold on aquaculture but why lie that we have an overpopulation crisis when the opposite is true, a worldwide population collapse in developed countries. The elites take these scientists seriously and are shutting down farmers and ensuring a worldwide famine! They see themselves as gods, and consider culling the human population to be good stewards of the environment

@@mrpopulistless Lmao chill. One innocuous comment is enough to ruin an entire channel of great content. Stop overreacting lol

I agree with the over all point of the video, but vertical farming also helps fix two of the main issues. Land and water use.

Vertical farming probably has some downsides to it. But I don't easily spot large downsides, especially when you compare it to the huge advantages it has in terms of efficiency compared to traditional agriculture.

@@jortverbakel6669 Have you ever done a back-of-the-envelope calculation to see how massive vertical farms would have to be to replace conventional agriculture? They're good for leafy greens but the current model cannot be used to grow rice, wheat, corn, or other starches.

@@rddragon5 how does it solve the water problem?

Vertical farms largest benifit is the reduction in the footprint of transportation. It has flaws at the moment but to ignore that is to ignore a large benifit as well as the simple fact of efficient use of space.

right! my question exactly

yeah, made me leave a dislike. really dont trust someone who seem so biased

Go watch his video about vertical farming to understand his stand point

@@quazimofo8742 well I would, if I could find any lol

So weird, he then says they don't tackle the real problem, water and land are limited. But vertical farms DO tackle those issues, they use like 97% less water and if you stack them 50 stories high land shouldn't be a problem either. You can also build them wherever the food is needed.

Not to mention salmon raised in these pens are exceptionally toxic. The skin on farm raised salmon contain the same chemicals as fire retardant. Sorry Norway.

I don't see how the logistics of going to the open ocean to feed the World would be very environmentally friendly. That'll fill the valuable coastal areas with more ship traffic and everything that comes with that.

Another thing that missing : about polution in sea itself, you know microplastic

Well you could grow plants to feed plant eating fish like carp. And then feed the carp to salmon or tilapia.

@@muehahahaha Perhaps but it would probably be too expensive or it would be done already. As it stands today sustainable fish doesn't exist and the only thing you can do to prevent overfishing is not buy any fish.

i remember those times :) and now its 750k wow

Yeah that part annoyed me

Interesting point, thank you for mentioning it

Sadly, most problems and their solutions are never simple.

Grazing is good for the environment and can stop desertification

@@lif3andthings763 but not overgrazing which is happening in lots of livestock farms

@@dolphindiverbct8297 that is true but all small farmers and most big farmers wouldn’t do that because it is bad for them in the long run.

Mercury has also entered the chat

Land based animals like chicken and beef have plenty of micro plastics in them too. I think the overall benefits of mariculture would outweigh any negatives

Red tide: hello there

@@alexlaverty8564 Afaik: Mercury travels up the food chain. So predator fish like tuna have the highest concentration, while filter feeders the lowest (negligent?). I suspect these maricultures are mostly using land based food for the fishes though instead of growing their own microalgae next door in the ocean.

The expansion of deep sea mariculture might actually drive many 'currently' irresponsible governments towards passing more stringent laws to protect their share of the oceans - rather than continuing to use them as a rubbish dump, and that would include providing financial backing to those few companies that are in the process of cleaning the ocean of plastics. Once someone finds a good use or importance for something previously abused, it's amazing how quickly their governments turn round and start protecting it (e.g major rivers in Britain, which used to be be thick with industrial pollutants and devoid of fish in the 60's and 70's. Since the various environmental acts in the UK, fish and aquatic plants have not only crept back into these rivers, they are thriving). I think the one major problem facing mariculture is 'not' continuing to clean up the oceans and passing international laws to protect it from further wilful pollution - but getting all countries to be 'fair' about who has 'the right' to an appropriate share of the oceans in order to conduct their business. We all know how extremely selfish some countries can be. Before it gets to that stage, there needs to be an international organisation for deciding this matter, and not one dominated by 'certain countries' that not only have their own populations in mind, but also think only of dominating the trade side of this form of agriculture in the near future. In essence, a 3rd world nation should have an immediate right to a protected percentage of 'charted farmable' ocean within reasonable reach of its particular continent/island (whether it invests in such schemes right away or not) - and not find that when it time does come to invest in mariculture, other larger, richer nations have already grabbed all the best and closest sea-acres. It wouldn't do for rival nations to start warring over something like this, but there's every potential for this to happen.

No thats yr mom

... You mean before "harvest"?

Biodiversity strongly correlates with available surface area and nutrients. A swamp has higher biodiversity per km² than dessert; tundra has less biodiversity than any rainforest. If there is nothing to eat, why should any being evolve and undergo niche partitioning?

@@irrelevantirrelevant7332 but rainforests are nutrient deficient that is why they are so biodiverse. Extreme environmental conditions are not the same a nutrient availability.

"majority of land area used to raise livestock is rangeland that is too arid or nutrient poor for growing traditional traditional crops" This is super misleading. Most of the calories those livestock eat don't come from the nutrient poor arid land they live on. Most of their calories come from farmed crops(grain and hey from more productive regions). Brazil is not being deforested primarily to raise cattle directly. It is being deforested to make room to grow soy that is then fed to American cows. If people ate less meat not only would we free up the low productivity land they often live on but it would free up all the crop land used to feed them. Most crop land is used to feed animals. Only a little bit is used to feed people directly.

Good point. And if the livestock operation uses permaculture techniques and moves the livestock daily, the arid grassland ecosystem can actually be greatly improved.

@@ThreeRunHomer as an African I can tell you. Let the cows range. It's just natural. The whole monocrop thing is so inefficient I don't know why it even survives. That's how bison grazed for the longest time in the great American plains. That's how animals graze. It's just natural and in the end they fertilise the soil with their natural manure. The whole system is in check. Only issue is looking out for predators that prey on the livestock.

@@peterisawesomeplease to add on my note. They were millions of bison capable of feeding the American population in a sustainable way for the longest time. Before they were all hunted unsustainably to extinction.

@@dru4670 Bison can sustain a few million people but will 300 million people demanding meat it does not work. You simply can't generate enough calories without juicing the system with irrigation and artificial nitrogen. The conversion factors between grass and humans are like 100 to 1 using bison/cattle. There were never 300 million bison predators.

You are correct about the desert part - and there's a solution to that as well. Those regions of the deep ocean shown on the map are deserts due to no upwelling of nutrient rich water from the deep and that can also be produced artificially. It would then support the base of the food pyramid, the plankton. Look up "marine permaculture", which shows promise in both creating new hotspots of ocean life where none existed as well as restoring existing biomes impacted by marine heat waves thanks to the cooling effect of upwelling cool water from the deep. Dr. Brian von Herzen is one name to search for; there are a couple of videos on RU-vid about their work.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-y8RojQZbsB8.html Here's one.

@@sietuuba there is another, more worrying way to look about this though. The deep sea ecosystem relies on a different baseline compared to the rest of the ocean, marine snow (the dead of surface animals and plants washed in by currents) rather than plankton (zoo and phyto). We haven't explored these areas yet due to depth and light issues, so we don't know what exactly is going on down there. Due to lantern fish we can estimate that the deep sea is taking care of around half of our current carbon emissions, so messing with that system when we don't know how it works yet could lead to a worsening of the global warming situation. Cause think about it, if the disposal method of something is disabled somehow it builds up more quickly. Honestly, this plus the artificial greenhouse gas (sorry can't remember its name right now) created by solar energy systems makes me think that any effort we currently are making to save the planet is actually harmful.

"....sort of vertical farming YOU'RE proposing..." Sorry to be pedantic, but spelling and grammar matter. Getting them wrong could undercut the point you're trying to make.

@@sietuuba OK thanks. I will try and have a look at that video.

Hello, I'm a Marine Sciences student. Not sure about the fish farms part (not an Aquaculture student), but mollusks, kelp and seaweed can actually be grown in polluted waters because they can purify water by converting the waste into nutrients for their own need. There has been quite a number of amazing discoveries of the incredible ability of oysters to filter water. So not only could they function as a food source, they could also help to restore clean seas and rivers! the academia had also agreed that we should promote an eating culture that focuses lower on the food chain - shellfishes and seaweed/kelp, as a strategy to tackle climate change and solve water crisis.

Most people in history have survived on less nutritious sources of energy.

not bad actually, I like seafood and if you don't, just eat plant based meats. Those things use seaweed.

RAS is also very energy-intensive and is not cheaper. China's new approach of massive offshore ship type structures may be far more economical.

as the previous commenter said, RAS is not a cheap aquaculture method, but definitely control many parameter such as water quality and disease

@@soviettankmen Yes, RAS will give control over water chemistry and is the way to go for hatcheries to produce the fingerlings to stock into ocean net pen-type system. With full zero discharge RAS you can locate near the workboat base the offshore systems. In RAS you can go "specific pathogen-free" SPF operation to keep down disease issues. Getting pathogens out of RAS is a lot harder than preventing them from coming in.

I think the obvious is that consumable plants need a full day of sunshine. Even if you move stuff about to get sunlight, the output will be terrible.

This is where molluscs come in. As filter feeders they actually clean the water. Oysters and muscles are currently being reintroduced to the Hudson River to help clean the water

@@oliverhunter3015 Oh cool. I live near the Hudson River but I didn't know how they were cleaning it. Thanks!

idea Make a giant rubber net . Fill it with water , then put in fish

@@oliverhunter3015 Just don't eat the mollusks. Other fish that we might eat will eat the mollusks and thus the concentration of contaminants will be more for us. The best thing to do is let them clean the water and remove them periodically when they get to a size. The larger fish that eat them should be avoided by fishermen until the waters are certified clean again. Rice also absorbs contaminants so planting those (not for consumption) and removing them periodically would also help. Once again the larger animals that consume rice would be concentrating the contaminants in their bodies so eating anything from the polluted river is not a good idea.

Yeah, I thought it went to 0 until I read your comment and saw the 26 on the side.

Idk when I was watching it I got exactly what he meant since he did say the percentages out loud

I agree its not the best implementation, maybe add a wiggly line at the bottom to show that it's not 0?

Interesting. Also doesn't really talk about how irrigation is more of a problem for the growing of crops than for grass. Grass is one of the hardiest plants on Earth and will still grow with less water than pretty much any crop out there.

Nor does he mention that of the 77% of land used to raise livestock, a significant portion isn't useable for growing modern crops anyway (too dry, remote, or rugged).

@@lyreparadox same thought here. im not sure about this one but given the amount of energy it takes to make 1kg of cow meat is pretty high; is the demand met with mostly grasses and hay right? These are also often farmed on lands unsuitable for crops.

so you won't eat shrimps? arthropods are arthropods

@@jgr7487 Crustaceans are fine, insects and arachnids aren't.

@@DangerB0ne lol.

@Hunter Smith "Sea bugs" are distinct enough from land bugs for me not to care as much. I'll eat bivalves, octopus, and squid but not snails despite all of them being molluscs. Clams=food, snail=garden fauna/pest. Like many people, I associate insects with filth. Local restaurant got shut down by the health inspector? Probably roaches contaminating food. If you want to brave that "new protein source", be my guest. I'd rather not eat things I associate with disease and uncleanliness. It's the same reason I don't eat rats despite them being mammals like pigs, sheep, and cows. Rats are plague-bearers, the rest are tasty.

No need to sympathise, we're least geographically and culturally in a comfortable position to pursue mariculture in the future as hopefully Atlas' projection of future adoption come to fruition.

Just be a fish, dunno

Some fish have a tendency to store high amounts of heavy metal because of their organism but they will store such amount of metal only if they are exposed too much to it. They don't produce metals by them selves only stars do that.

@@Herghun I didn't say that they produce it :D But the very fact that they act as sponges for various chemicals and elements found in the water where all our garbage, waste and pollution goes eventually, is not a good thing. It is not a dynamic system in the sense that the oceans return all that to us, they are the end stop and thus are more polluted every year.

I'd be curious to know why vertical farming will remain a luxury in your eyes. because of high initial building/development costs ?

Yeah I was surprised at the quick and brutal dismissal. I'm guessing it's due to the ultimate input and output of the process. Vertical farming at their best can more efficiently consume water, but that's a high precision operation and very vulnerable to people doing a bad job. Replacing soil with fertilizer may consume even more minerals than the traditional method, and if you stick to soil than you are necessarily digging up vast quantities of soil from fertile lands, causing untold erosion effects. All of that to save some space. We become able to make use of more of the earth's soil at the same time, but none of that deals with what happens if we DEPLETE all of the earth's soil at the same time. We don't have a similarly scalable livestock poop generator.

@@benedict6962 the problems are plentiful. Not only are we running out of phosphorus and nitrates anyways, there's also the issue of vertical farms being impossible to get well-distributed sunlight on. So that would have to be artificial, scale that up and you'll need another nuclear power plant for your country, not that desireable.

Vertical farming depends on green electricity sources we currently don't have and it's economically only somewhat viable for leafy greens at this point. It will probably become more popular just cause it's cool and nice to have fresh produce produced locally, but it won't solve our farting cows problem

​@@benedict6962 No, plants can't use the whole spectrum of sun light, so the loss in [sun light -> solar panel -> LED -> food] compared to [sun light -> food] is much smaller than people think. With more maturity in panel and LED technologies, they will increase energy efficiency over traditional farming. The real potential though, lies in total control. Measurement of plant productivity, soil humidity, fertilizer supplementation, temperature, light spectrum exposure, timing of all the above, etc. Put all that data into a machine learning model and you have magic. Maximizing the nicotine content in tobacco for example. Soil can be created from air and fertilizer. It's just decayed plant matter with some microbes in it, carbon comes from the air and the rest from the fertilizer. The real soil killer is traditional farming. Especially in the arid regions, they basically put seeds in clay and fertilizer.

Long time vegetarian here, tell me about it....

We actually know the outcome of consuming plastics, just not in humans. Great comment btw.

I think what's most interesting here is the abilisty to produce plants to feed animal on land.

Exactly this. Where I live the land is too steep, hilly and prone to seasonal drought to reliably grow crops, but the animals handle it just fine. People who think we should "just convert" this kind of land to plant-based agriculture should come and try to drive a combine harvester up some of these hills. It would make great youtube comedy.

So fucked! Using 77% of agricultural land for 18% of our daily calories (37% of our protein). We need to stop eating meat! (Once not completely as animal by products are crucial for sustainable farming)

That's fascinating and important research, but it's no less important to keep level with the potential consequences, because you have a massive responsability in that regard. What happens if a tropical plant, which can now grow unhindered in these climates, with no natural predators, becomes an invasive species which causes an ecological catastophe spreading over the whole of Northern Europe and then the Eurasian tundra, also irrevocably changing the makeup of those habitats while decimating biodiversity?
