![ОРБАН приехал к ПУТИНУ и "отчитался" о поездке в Киев 😁 [Пародия]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_0ukDovOWq8/mqdefault.jpg)
Maravilloso, ...¡felicitaciones desde argentina!
This is awesome any ideas how to get started?
Vertical farms are very much essential for urban
Population. Here less land area can produce more
Agri products
What is that recyclable plastic cloth name?
good
👍
Goodnice
what is the building made of ?
What cloth is this?
when we used the white light and when we used the Blue and red lights ?
it base on your crop and production requirements
Blue and red lights for germination, white light (full apectrum) for grow and harvesting
Can you grow Apples?
what is the name of the music?

What degree can you get in uni to make something like this
Mechanical engineering
Botany
Wageningen University and Philips stil saving the world.
The problem with this is the overhead cost.. You should see My design I built in my Greenhouse.. 40 10x20 plug flats with a foot print of 10 sq foot.. No lights required and the cost of operation is penny's a day.. When I have the funding in place, I will Build 300 of these in my 3,000 sq greenhouse 3,000 sq foot will turn into 12,000 sq foot No extra heating cost, or cooling. By looking at the cost of 300 of these I would say will cost $2.50 to $5 dollars a day to operate + my normal costs..
Angie Swyers can you show us what you've done please?
I'm interested as well. Could you send me what you've done so far? Thanks!
And me mahernanos@unal.edu.co
Same here please.Ill appreciate georeece000@gmail.com
Can I have a look at your design Angie?

Where do you get the liquid nutrients from? Also using single use plastic plus the plastic the plants are grown in means they won’t last long before that plastic adds to the billions of tons that already exists and will forever unless put through Pyrolysis. But that’s still not the answer,, we need to stop using plastic!!!. Surely an alternative packaging could be used OR just sell to cafes, restaurants, Greengrocers etc that don’t require all that single use plastic!. Also use non plastic growing ‘containers’ The nutrients you use could and SHOULD be obtained by making your own liquid fertlizer from your customers veg waste etc.
If unit mass of horizontally farmed tomatoes cost max 3 dollars then unit mass of vertically farmed tomatoes should not cost higher than 3 dollars & don't know how many customers will be willing to pay premium price of min 3.5 dollars for unit mass of vertically farmed tomatoes. The vertical farming process for a crop should be economic at the sellable capacity of that crop.
Why the need for the protective suits? Hmmm
Avoid contaminants from outside
The suits protect the plants from the potential contamination source that the humans handling them are.
cause they look nastier
minecraftia
Geekdom.
Prevention is better than cure
Plant more tress, save water and save the next generation
Plants take water..

how many kilowatt-hours of electric energy for LED light do you need to produce 1 kg of dry mass of lettuce ? and since all that light that concentrates on a small volume finely converts into heat, how do you deduct that heat to outside? how many square meters of photovoltaic panels would you need to produce the required electricity for the LED light on one square meter of agricultural area in your shelves? when you calculate and check these numbers, you will find out, that vertical farming cannot contribute anything essential to feed the world population
Consumption of LEDs are so low that you dont need "kilowatts" of solar panels to get them working
@@naturefresh1916 then tell me the amount of watts-hours please. how many watts to produce 1kg of dry mass? do you know it, or don't you?
@@thomasherzig174 12-13kw per 1kg of dry mass of leafy greens)
I seriously doubt how nutritious is that food. Idk how well is the biochemistry of soil understood.
You doubt it because you lack scientific acumen
⃢ Science still doesn’t know an atom in it’s entirety. It’s not just me, humanity is still trying to figure it out. So with the limited knowledge or “lack of scientific acumen”, we have hydroponics as a product. As a student of science I’ve concerns on the quality of the product.

Grade 9 student of science. Finish highschool first, grow some facial hair, then we'll talk.
⃢ Even if u grow ur intellect all life, u will still be the dumbest creature I’ll be talking to in life. Go get a life first rather than talking random stuff without facts.
Sorry about the other guy replying to you, not sure why people get aggressive over questions like this rather than just answering it.
A lot of nutrition in leafy veg like this is lost during storage/transport etc. One of the major advantages of these vertical farms is that you can drastically reduce the shipping costs and a reduction in the time from when it's picked to when it's consumed. As a result, hydroponically grown produce is often more nutritious than produce grown via traditional methods. Hope that helps!
The average Joe isn't going to be eating these vegetables because they're going to all the most expensive restaurants
They're becoming quite cheap and with solar panels and more testing and experience this will become much cheaper than traditional crops. These are already being sold at mid-range grocery stores.
the editing needs to chill
I applaud your efforts. just viewing this one minute video I can see some obvious errors. 75 times of what??? the non natural components slightly increase crop yield. Not using pesticides is never an indicator of nutrient density. When profiteers build a vertical garden they fall into the same pitfalls as regular farmers. Never measure your fields/soil in pots by square feet. All life plants and animals are part of the BIOMASS. When you plant your cash crops you would add a certain amount for the biomass to root uptake. When having a field crop you use a lot less.Therefore until the cash crops become part of our daily culture our field crops will still need to be grown in the fields. (design people can work on that). Also I see a lot of wasted cubic feet. Most educated vertical farmers are getting fantastic yields, high brix, record sizes. The current production levels is 2 pounds of food per cubic foot per year or 8 oz. per quarter.
Growing on plastic -- even recycled -- no thanks!
Do you even understand how chemically inert these plastics are, even more so recycled? 😂
Iunanec How ignorant. Do you realise that microplastics are inevitable for city-dwellers?
No narration. These operations are capital intensive and the systems are vulnerable to power outages and disease because none of the natural protections provided by good soil are present. We need vertical growing with soil.
"vulnerable to power outages"
1. Power outages are incredibly uncommon, droughts, bad weather and outside disease is many times more common than power outages.
2. Most of these operations are powered through on-site solar panels, so doesn't matter anyway.
"disease because none of the natural protections provided by good soil are present."
Just completely wrong. There is orders of magnitude less disease in these systems BECAUSE there is no soil and because the environment is so sterile and controlled. Soil has contaminants in it that can potentially hurt plants, that's why you need to bake it.
The music is annoying
The plastic part is disappoint!
It's the toxins in plastic that concerns me.
What if they use plastic made of corn starch? Is that toxin free?
It's bpa free plastic cloth
SUCH A STUPID MUSIC
I bet you can't compose it. Shows how genius you are.
fake
Although I applaud your efforts "REAL FOOD" should be grown in the soil of the EARTH not in the air. yes, there is soil erosion, quality and other things to consider but put your efforts into what is real, and not food that is grown on tables in the Matrix..... This is not sustainable...Namaste

Learn science. Go figure.
it pretty much is sustainable energy wise and production wise and has been in the works since the early 2000s. one government in particular is funding research into vertical farming which is the Singaporean government. It aims to reduce the dependence over imported foods with buildings which can house a variety of produce, thus reducing the need to increase yields by deforestation or pesticides and herbicides.
Vertical farming is the future. We have to adapt & evolve with time.
You ignorant fool, do not comment just anything
