@@Furyan Because Hydroponic systems are so healthy and effective?... If they had a balanced soil with a proper microlife it would balance itself and they wouldn't feel the need to integrate predatory insects. These infrastructure are not sustainable and a long-term will only make citizens even more dependant than they are on the system. I live in Quebec and businesses like these are a shame to me. Only there to make a dollar. Any grower that uses a hydroponic setup doesn't care about poisoning their clients. Beware when eating hydro these plants are fed isolated chemicals and have never evolved into an environment like this one!
Arithmetic, Population and Energy - FULL LENGTH ... because of population growth both traditional agriculture and greenhouse agriculture will continue to grow to meet demand.
Why? I can think of no good reason except to be more resistant to disruption in food supply. They need power in the form of light, heating, and pumping water, use less water than traditional farms probably because of presumably less evaporation, but then that is offset by the need to make plumbing and stuff to transport it around. Then you have massive building costs and maintenance costs. In the dirt you have none of this. And what is unsustainable about farming in the dirt? It removes nutrients from the soil that aren't returned but instead flushed out to sea in sewerage. You have the exact same problem with greenhouses unless they are using sewerage or its derivatives for fertiliser, in that they need to be continuously supplied with fertilisers mined, farmed or synthetically produced from coal, oil, air, water and heat. Unless you do the logical thing and use sewerage. That's the real key to sustainable farming, not basically making a massive fucking grow house. SMH. Oh, if greenhouses are put near the market for their produce, they do reduce shipping fuel and pollution, but by far not enough to justify their existence. That's not to say that I don't think there ever the case for this sort of farm, just in this case it's kind of stupid and wasteful.
Actually I stand corrected, there are definite advantages to freshness, wasted food and flexibility in providing not so shelf stable varieties. That doesn't mean I think it's a good idea for replacing anything but a fraction of vegetable cultivation.
Almost the same price and it's convenient. It's like doing your grocery shopping online and then you just need to pick up, there's a lot of choice not only fruits and vegetables. But they don't have ''sales'' like in the grocery store, so if you are use to buy only things on sale, it's more expensive.
Really ? I became A lufavore this week and I would love to get to visit it. I can't wrap my head around the freshness of the stuff they sell. It's really an interesting project !
Why do you think this is at all a good thing? Compare it to the alternatives: one using preserved food or two importing from a temperate region. Neither of those need ridiculous amounts of power and expensive buildings and plumbing to run. Just energy to transport or preserve in the first place. This might be a good idea on Mars, or maybe in the South Pole, but otherwise it's just a way for yuppies to get super fresh vegetables at enormous cost in energy.
I just finished a homemade pizza mostly with Lufa farms ingredients... What they growth is AMAZING. I never ate so much good veggies during the winter, especially their tomatoes
Amazing. Low Pest, no pesticides or herbicides. Beneficial insects. Energy and water efficient. This must replace our old school agriculture. What did it cost to build that on top of a building in Canada? like $1 million or more?
9:13 where are you now? In your building, your warehouse? How far is it from one of your greenhouses? And do you have greenhouses on top of your warehouses? ;)
To construct such type of green house of 3000 square meters from ground. It takes about US$300K to construct in Taiwan. Farm land cost is not included yet.
Geez, I wonder. Why isn't more food grown in expensive heated buildings that use up power for lights and have massive amounts of plumbing? Use your brain. Because it is cheaper and also more environmentally friendly to grow them in the dirt where they get enough rain and sun.
Sir I’m from Montreal too. I would like to open green house garden. Where can I get the training to open the green house and could you please help me. Thanks
Imagine governments agree on a program to build this farm everywhere as those cover all the need of food, all the works inside are automized and energized from sustainable sources.. The food all the humanity needs would be completely free and sustainable. Then the population would be tripled in 20 years and we would go back to begining.
Software heh Haig ! Now that u stalled my loving mother to death ! And changed your story every time I tried and did Dillagence to deal with u because after all it’s my copyrights ! I loved it when u Blaine’s your mother in war torn Lebanon for the inspiration ! Might of worked for u if that would of been your original story ! And my mother wasn’t die ing in Calgary ! With the words on her lips oh Richard don’t u know they are still stalling u ! Bless u and yours ! U best get in touch with me ! B
I would buy some items however, it seems a bit convoluted. I assume the guilty neo-Marxists like me love it for bragging rights since we are not vegan.
I hope one day every city will be able to supply its own food by even just 1% using agricultural systems like this
In the future pretty much all vegetables will be grown like this.

I buy stuff from them, it's pretty good, great service!! Once or twice a year you can visit the green house and it's huuuuuge and smells so good!
Is it much more expensive that traditionally grown produce?

❤️❤️❤️ so innovative! I wish more and more farmers will farm like this. Inspiring.
"We call them Vertical Propagation tables for obvious reasons" *Begins to explain the reason*
Those crops looks absolutely perfectly healthy, Damn. I want a salad now.
Never thought agriculture could be so fascinating
The intelligence of high-tech agricultural greenhouses will make our lives better and better.
Amazing job y'all. Sustainable efficiency is beauty!
Very impressive. Inspiring. Hope USA moves in this direction as well.
4:24 how come teh waste material from the plant matter on the farm isn't used for compost fertilizer?
I just finished a homemade pizza mostly with Lufa farms ingredients... What they growth is AMAZING. I never ate so much good veggies during the winter, especially their tomatoes
Just had to slip in 'Gatorade ' as your vitamin comparison. Great concept, keep it coming.
It's got what plants crave!
Amazing. Low Pest, no pesticides or herbicides. Beneficial insects. Energy and water efficient. This must replace our old school agriculture.
What did it cost to build that on top of a building in Canada? like $1 million or more?
I look forward to each new episode. Really stellar work and great subject matter!
Thank you Michael!
I love this. That looks so cozy I could live there! :)
Big Thanks To Stereo Kroma Team
Great work 👏
What do they do with the old coco-coir?
Did you say Gatorade? You feed your plants with what flavor exactly?
Fascinating. Jaw dropping. Inspiring.
Another good video guys, keep up the excellent work!
Thank you Borys! :)
9:13 where are you now? In your building, your warehouse? How far is it from one of your greenhouses? And do you have greenhouses on top of your warehouses? ;)
If done right this could help so many poor nations.
This is awesome... id support this if I lived there
The Website did NOT let me see all products???
How do you control for mold?
W0W Great Work And Give Your Self A Pat On The Back Guys & Gals Good Day To All.
Says Page not found for Web site ?
1:55 you mean a greenhouse on the ground. Farms in a temperate climate which don't use heating at all.
Bring this to the uk my home town :)
wonderful .how much energy need for this system.
they should add fish to the water tank to add and give more automatic nurturance and more things to sell
Why isn't this everywhere
look up hydrophonic plantation metods, shit is fucking awesome

True 😓
$$$$$$

Sir I’m from Montreal too. I would like to open green house garden. Where can I get the training to open the green house and could you please help me. Thanks
This is amazing! So where does the nutrients provided to the plants via the hydroponic system come from?
Suppose if I collected rain water how can I make a system that adds nutrients itself that is needed for the plants to grow
Just a question why do you make your candy pieces so big isn't that like really price inefficent ?
Sir will u help me for creating ployhouse ...how can create lot of profit vegetables
How to maintain the nutrient rich water automatic by calculating its pH level
Kohlrabi "pumpkin" is a main ingredient of my soups
i would love to work in such enviroment, too bad my country will have labs like this in 60 years
That's a good excuse and motivation for you to go and try be the first to do it in your country :)
very cool
Nice job.
Very nice
awesome !!
I hope there will be a way to come and work with you I am a fan of agriculture ,I am from Egypt and work as IT Help Desk
I’m in !
I would love to work there 💙
How can I make please sir help me I am waiting you answer dear sir i am from Pakistan
hi there, my name is Hamzeh Ali, I am from Dubai, I am just wondering can I come to Canada to visit your farm ?
This is fantastic! I wish the US had the brains, of other progressive countries, especially like Canada
I want to work in lufa farm

The food all the humanity needs would be completely free and sustainable. Then the population would be tripled in 20 years and we would go back to begining.
Like what happened with the fertilizing industry and then GMO industry...
that amazing.
I feel like the only way our food supply will remain sustainable is for every single farmer to adopt this type of system.
Interesting
It looks so tasty
1:26 it's what plants crave
What is wrong with growing food in soil?
Inefficient use of water and resources. Also vulnerable to sudden weather conditions. Grow all year around.
Software heh Haig ! Now that u stalled my loving mother to death ! And changed your story every time I tried and did Dillagence to deal with u because after all it’s my copyrights ! I loved it when u Blaine’s your mother in war torn Lebanon for the inspiration ! Might of worked for u if that would of been your original story ! And my mother wasn’t die ing in Calgary !

Bless u and yours ! U best get in touch with me ! B
Nice unibrow
This is the fucking future.
The institute, Fallout 4 IRL
It say four comments but there are only two well three including me
Bobble Bella well now theres 4 cuz of me

Stereokroma lol 😂
Did y'all see that big ass spider?
Fuck. No.
Amigps01 do not worry. Spider bro does not want to hurt you; he only wants those pesky bugs killing the produce :).
who disliked this???
Anyone who thinks microbial activity in soil is important to agriculture.
Can you please make more candy video's ????
We are filming one in a few weeks, should be finished by August. :)
Imagine growing cannabis
Don't worry about that, this is Canada, weed is legal. Everybody has its supplier, grower to consumer, no intermediates .... Food is more important.
Remember me
Tell me again why everybody is 'blinded' by the loud, vulgar, shiny, fake, processed meat-o-matic lure of the USA, when Canada is this amazing?
groom that unibrow for crying out loud
Wow cardboard radiators..
I would buy some items however, it seems a bit convoluted. I assume the guilty neo-Marxists like me love it for bragging rights since we are not vegan.
9th!!
Face, if you think like i do youll know what im talking about
"Natural life cycle" 😂😂😂
Growing lights on full power 😂😂😂
I mean 3rd xD
Hydro sucks. Growing without soil isn't growing.
SemperAugustusBubble But does work.
