Hiroki is the future of vertical farming. People are laughing now and focusing on the price of the strawberries, but I'm more impressed by the technologies he's utilizing. He brought up a good point about how it's expensive right now, but this is how a lot of innovative tech begins. Think about how much a 20gb flashdrive cost 10-15 years ago, now it's such a negligible amount and you can get massive storage for a fraction of the price. Even 3D-printing a few years ago seemed crazy at a ridiculous price point, but now you can get one for your home for a couple hundred dollars. Thanks for this video Eater, I enjoyed it!
