The Future of Vertical Farming: Sustainable Gardens, Sustainable Agriculture As the cities continue to grow significantly through the years, the need for a more sustainable solution to our food problems is necessary. Vertical farming of z-farming could be the next step in agricultural evolution, in where inside the cities we could find crops, grow food and find fresh vegetables for our needs. This could also cause a mayor reduction in the food prices, because of the lower transportation and keeping costs. There are many ways one can install vertical crops or start vertical farming. Ideas like hydroponics or the use of fish to auto sustain crops, are ways in which one can start the urban agriculture. The advantages are immense and so does the possibilities to create a much better and eco-friendly world with the creation, implementation and use of sustainable agriculture.

I am not that excited about the world being paved over and the only thing green and growing
is in buildings! Nature is a far cry from anything "manmade". -
You MORONS have absolutely NO FKN CLUE what the word "sustainability" means and implies - NONE. Or physics, Or biology and farming - NONE

This is brilliant and innovative. But there are problems with capitalism that hinders this idea. Primarily is the incentive to waste food. Also the overproduction of farmland to a degree that farmers in the US are convinced that GMO is the only way. We simply don't need every square mile of land to be farmed; it's okay for there to be wilderness.

Amazing, awesome!

i want to build a vertical farm.. how do i go about it? mail me.

Vertical farming is basically a multi-floor greenhouse with sun lamps, irrigation, and compost derived from feces. Lots of sun, lots of hydration, lots of nutrients, lots of vegetables.

Roof top and vertical growing systems are part of the solution but there's no magic bullet and we need to use every method to raise food. Reducing water and transport are two of the most important reasons. The ugly truth is we should have been doing all of this back in the 80s. We have to embrace these technologies but it's too late to avoid the crisis to come.
One thing, we don't need GMO crops to save us. 90% or more of the GMOs are bred so farmers can use more herbicides and pesticides which are making the problems worst. There are already thousands of types of rice, potatoes, corn and tomatoes. There are varieties adapted to most any climate and are disease and pest resistant. What they aren't is patented by Monsanto so we are sold on how vital patented seeds are. Monstanto's goal isn't feeding the world it's controlling the world's food supply and they nearly do already. If you grow and consume locally you don't have to make tomatoes feel and taste like a tennis ball.
There are plenty of solutions. We do things the way we do them because they maximize profits and the average person doesn't care where their food comes from. -
it's a future by obligation, but many advantages with this type of farming stratagy

With the accent I don't know why but I can't take it seriously and keep laughing lol

I am developing a commercial project for VF in Saudi Arabia and at this stage I am interested to find technology partners, turn key solution providers and proven outcomes. Kindly share with me any information that might be helpful for us to make right decision in selection of our partners and vendors. (mabrarsheikh@gmail.com)

Get off the genetically engineered food meme! Disgusting!
-
Great, accept the GE aspect of the plan is a big problem if these crops are supposed to be nutritious, strong and healthy. If the system will not grow natural crops properly, then that is a sign of a flaw in the system and not a flaw in the plant.

Excellent and inspiring video!

Aren't there projects like this already started. And there is a rotisserie style of growing cage that can grow lettuce in extremely shortened amount of time. The "future" is robotic hydroponic/aquaponics warehouses/buildings powered by magnetic propulsion engines. And fiber optic lighting. How about sun reflected indoor lighting. Having mirrors power angled with the moving sun. Surely small servos needed to move the mirrors a few times a day would significantly be less than lighting and the wires needed for it. Not to mention the heating that reflective mirrors could contribute along with using them for their energy.

I'm in the fund seeking stage of a project using vertical growing to produce crops at a
rate of efficiency to attract private funding. Any idea's?.....gr8jamaicanproduce@gmail.com -
On minute 1:31 the guy says: "1 square block farm", how much is that in meters or kilometers
someone help
Thanks -
I Mohammad Arifur Rahman from Bangladesh. Am interested to doing that kinds of project in Bangladesh but I have no Idea about that. How can i get the proper Idea about the same..
-
I am a University of Washington student, I am very interested in urban/vertical farming. I have been doing research on hydroponic growing for the last year or so and plan on continuing to advocate for sustainable agriculture policy with my MA in Environmental policy. I would love to carry on the conversation. Thank you for the post

It's obvious that's the future, but as usual every thing cons to money
