I think the approach to integrate it into house or building infrastructure may work better, combinig it with composting some of tenant's waste. The way I see to be profitable is selling and maintaining that systems. I absolutely agree with education part. Thank you for a great speech! 👏
Please let me know if you want to tour and do an article on a real cea vf. NJ or niagara Canada I mean there is one in New Zealand but who wants to go there
This was so interesting! Glad to watch the full talk and really focus on what you're saying - it's potentially game-changing if more people get this right.
Thank you so much! Yes, I completely agree - the technology isn't perfected just yet but it's definitely a promising solution to create year-round food production, especially in colder winter climates like Canada!
Pretending that the farm was in a space station and not integrating benefits like natural light, solar, low energy circulation systems, geothermal and so on are why these systems are so energy hungry.
I agree with this and things like natural lighting couldn't you just design something similar like an air duct but something lined with mirrors at the right angles that funnel outside light - inside?
@@maenad1231 100%, the timing isn't great at all. I do also agree that there needs to be a proper long-term strategy, but there are many, many different angles that need to be considered before making any policy/subsidy changes. Unfortunately, the problem is a lot more complex than it seems on the surface 😥
Lecturer: "Even though vertical farming consumes more energy, it is crucial to have such technology on hand in the case of a global disaster, such as a food or energy crisis" Me: Did you just say 'energy crisis'? 🤨
@@Lexomm1 I agree - it's definitely a lot easier to self-produce. The energy issue really became evident when these companies went to scale their operations, and I think we need to figure out the unit economics for these technologies within structures like solar greenhouses first before even thinking about making it work in fully-enclosed indoor facilities (at least for fruiting/energy-intensive plants).
So... nick.. none of those images showed true control envy agricultural. Do you want a tour of s real one? Those 3 you mentioned are scams and that is why we suffer. Please accept my offer to tour an INTRAVISION farm. Please 🙏
Ooooooooo yikes. So... oishi is NOT a good example. They not only are not profitable but they know they will never be. The 160 million usd they got from Japanese investors is just spent with no return. Because of the Japanese and nyc mentalities where luxurious items are a must due to ego, they keep being propped up. Sorry. 😢
Thank you very much for your comment! I definitely see your point in which their profit is evidently related to the luxurious feel of their strawberries, and although I cannot speak to any of their financials, I can certainly understand why it would be more targeted towards wealthier consumers (and thus the ego part of things). I'm curious to see where their operations lead as well, especially with them opening a brand-new massive facility - I guess only time will tell!

I completely agree, I think that's a great use for this technology! Thank you so much for the kind words! 🙂
Love this - makes me excited and hopeful for the future of vertical farming! We should connect if you see this Nicholas!
Of course! 😄

incredible speech Nick
Thank you so much!
We need to focus on investing in module nuclear reactors for towns and cities in order to help lower energy cost as well.

@@sgct89 They're literally called solar tubes they use polished aluminum to bring natural sunlight into a room with no windows.
Try diagonal farming.
Until vertical farming can be used for crops other than leafy greens and tomatoes, it will just be a nice idea.
Simply stop all energy and agriculture subsidies, then lettuce and meat prices will Quadrupole and vertical farming becomes cheap.
Not good timing. A lot of the Lower class / working class / lower middle class is struggling to afford food due to corporate greed

I agree I've had my dream for about 15 years now.... greetings from south Africa pretoria 😮

He did. Energy in a home vertical indoor garden can be self produced, on the roof, with bio mass, with wind... hydro...

Hey. I'm interested for the tour. How can I contact you

I love how smart people went broke spending money to replicate the sun we have outside for free 😂😂😂
This guy is full of BS
Please elaborate.
I would also like to know why you feel this.., he doesn't seam wrong
Green ist in the natur not in one fabric with artificial ligth,food,aire,water,...
