This is freaking awesome

But seriously why isn't there more of this? Please do more of this! With solar panels... I imagine huge farms with ground mounts doing regenerative sheep grazing and indoor facilities using electricity for these types of vertical agriculture. Batteries could make it a microgrid capable of operating independently from the grid or also earning passive income from grid services. The future is now! You can do it!

because if everyone can get enough food it might get cheaper and capitalists don't get rich.

​@@heffalump111 The actual answer is because it's new and not many people have even heard of it yet. Who do you think is developing this tech? That's right, capitalists looking to sell you their produce, which is cheaper and better quality than the traditionally farmed stuff.

Probably has to do something with the price, I mean solar panels and batteries are cool but the Sun is FREE. Also I have yet to see these vertical farms produce anything with actual calories, only leafy greens, I want potatoes!

Impresionantes imagenes.

I thought I was getting carried away with my ideas 😁

I love your idea

Looks very cool, but is it just leaf vegetables? Can you grow carrots, potatoes, tomatoes? What are the limits?

it only commercially works with lettuce and herbs ,because these contain or water mostly and therefore have very little nutrition value per kg. what counts is the energy input per one kg of dry mass. To harvest one kilogram of wheat you would need 30 times as much energy from light. then the electricity cost for one kg of wheat might be 50$. But on the market 1kg of lettuce is more expensive than 1 kg of wheat.

The world should start transitioning to this type of farming as soon as possible, mother earth is dying fast.

What kind of nutrients to the plants live off of? Water from natural resources, synthetic fertilizer?

I want to start a farm like u in in my farm in India ..would u help

Are they using plastic or aluminium? that looks quite energy intensive. like, 2 dollars for every salad kind of energy intensive. with economies of scale we can make it compete with something!

The music is truly dire. I think that maybe who ever recorded it was trying to discourage people from eating salad maybe? I do not know. But what I _do_ know is that I never want to hear this ever again so long as I live. True story.

solar panel have an efficiency of 15% only, then there are losses through transforming and conduction the electricity and the best LED lamps only have an efficiency of 40%. even taking in account that LED lamps produce only blue and red light which is better absorbed for photosynthesis, still you would need 20m2 of photovoltaic panels to produce enough electricity for 1m2 of shelve area in there vertical farm. If you wanted to supply sustainable renewable energy for the vertical farmhouse you need 10 times the area of photovoltaic panels at least of the farmland that it shall replace

@@danielschmidt2186 indoor farming in greenhouses has many advantages, and all the positive things they say about vertical farming: no pesticides, controlled watering ,etc... can be featured inside a normal greenhouses as well. But growing with artificial light does not make sense, and even is impossible in a big scale. The sunlight is a a too precious free gift by nature, to not make use of it

Why isn't there any narration telling us more? Is everyone at plenty deaf? Plenty deaf

So let me get this straight. Walmart doesn't even have to buy food from farms and gets easy pass through lockdown. So while farmers and stores losing money Walmart is double dipping?

Go to hell you people! I hope your this business modell will never establish. The food can be modified and added with chemicals so easily and no one would notice it, that is a crime aginst humanity. I pray to god that this model will not do any harm to traditional farming!!
