Another great video. I totally agree with flooding urban areas with farms. I also think its a great idea to have large companies, as they reference such as google, who have several tower gardens that they grow fresh, healthy and sustainable food to feed their employees etc.. We deffo need more people to begin growing and being aware of the damage food production and logistics cause globally. also the massive waste of resources and money. Also not to mention the wasted food when we purchase too much and throw it away. Most people dont even compost so this is just wasted time, money and more importantly resources. Growing and harvesting what we need as we need it further reduces this problem and begins to move us one step closer to becoming more sustainable as our population grows.
I am currently setting up a small hydroponic vertical farm in Scotland. I have just moved up here with my partner and three young children from London. My current business is up for sale and the new, more satisfying, responsible venture will soon be up and running. Look forward to more great videos like this. Thanks guys and best wishes.
If you're in agriculture technology, a farmer or someone in hydroponic/vertical farming academia and want to be on the show, let me know! I would love to do an interview with you and spread the knowledge of the future of farming.
Also are there any technologies or farms you would like me to profile? Let me know in the comments! =D
Would love to add this system to my indoor farming project.
