No point in trying to colonize Mars until we nail this. I hope not to get stung by space bees while drinking my space beer! 5:23
no hammocks or BBQ in space :/
there is no food production challenge. there is a government intrusion problem.
I really hate to throw cold water on all this enthusiasm, but are these beautiful “vertical” farms growing anything but salad greens? The calorie dense foods such as wheat, corn, beans, and rice are going to be enormously more difficult to grow indoors. This solution is only nibbling around the edges of the problem. Salad anyone?
Can We plant paddy in vertical farming
Not a container of Round Up aka Glysphosate in sight
This will be the new norm in the near future, perfect solution!
Congrats on 400k!!!
I wish videos about this topic addressed what kind of crops this works for and what crops it does not work for. If you watch the video, only leafy lettuce greens are typically grown in these set ups.
The wastage of so much produce is an issue that can be solved much quicker and cheaper, I think. Instead of throwing out still reasonable food from supermarkets especially, we could increase our feeding of more people dramatically.
Yeah, that's not what I'd be growing.
More of the same with more details certainly will be nice. Thanks
The harvesting in these vertical farms seems much more labor intensive than the mechanical harvesting of traditional farms. Until the finesse and cost of robots come way down I don't see vertical farms being able to supply any significant portion of our food supply.
B1M Could you please cover the new Spurs stadium since you live in England?
It will be masterpiece and attract millions of views of football fans.
Thank you for another great video
This is a great help for me as a student because I can add this as an innovation for my incoming thesis project which is an agricultural facilities that focuses on the community of farmers that would help their progress in society. THANK YOU B1M MORE POWER!
I like this channel. Very imfomative and is well done. The video quality is also great. This is the only channel so for that I have notifications on.
I would hate to see the vertical framing falll like domino's. Seems like a safety hazard to me
I support doing whatever it takes to feed the world's eventual 12 billion people using as little land as possible.
love your channel. One note on this specific video: pests are not removed as a result of being indoors. In fact, in many vertical farms, pests are worse than outdoors due to the perfect climatic conditions. Ideally, a perfect exclusion method would work, however, even with thrips screening we see pest intrusion. I really hope this is a trend that continues, however, the success of vertical farms beyond two or three years is rare.
Fascinating stuff, I know you speak about Midtown NYC a lot but you guys should do s video essay about the planned demolition of 270 Park Ave.
When it’s demolished it will be the largest building to ever be intentionally wrecked (twin towers being the tallest unintentional buildings ever destroyed).
good video
