Hey Badi, Thanks for the feedback. That’s a great suggestion. We may do a deep dive into a specific start up and cover it in more detail. Would that interest you?
Guy, he's just reading each company's marketing. He has no practical knowledge at all or the order of these companies would be in a very different order. That's just the nature of youtube top ten lists. No offense to this dude - it's just his hustle but see it for what it is.
Great overview. Does anyone know of a Vertical Farm Businesses that have some kind of franchise model for the technology? Something that doesn't require large sums of money and can be started with a rather small team of 2-3 people?
Protio for these companies using aero-ponic Invert the crop Without having to focus on fighting gravety to grow and be strong enough to support the yield, the plant will create a greater yield...

1. Electricty cost to grow plants vs free energy from the sun. 2. Startup costs to built a warehouse/aeroponic towers vs 0 cost of planting crops directly on the ground 3. Land acquisition cost of buying property near a city vs cheap land far away from the city.
You can find it on their website smallhold.com it outlines how to grow their mushrooms. They also provide an email you can reach out and ask them questions.
Great video. Missing some major players. Otherwise, we'll done. Elevate farms is the way to go. If it's not fda approved, I'm concerned Thanks for the informative video. Great to see industry picking up steam and becoming efficient.
On June 8, 2023, AeroFarms filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Bay Area-based Iron Ox laid off 50, amounting to nearly half its staff in November, 2022. Smallhold, a US-based company that grows specialty mushrooms via vertical farming, filed for bankruptcy on Feb. 18, 2024 in the US Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware. How many firms in this video ( in 17 total) do you think can survive in five years ? I guess 12.
@@foodverge As a business, I agree with you. But most of vertical farming companies raised so much money from investors and there will be some environment-sensitive, dreaming, gullible and rich supporters for the firms.
Sadly Aerofarms just list their major financial partner because of their heavy reliance on electricity. I have developed a truly sustainable solution that uses 90% less electricity and 95-98% less water. That is the true future. Emerald Isle Growers Ireland, Growing More!

The reason they focus on greens is that with greens, because of their short time to harvest, you can produce several crops a year and can get your return on investment back much quicker.

Amazing Tech. Thanks for this presentation. Now we can choose which business model we can adopt.
What one did you like the most?
Thank you, Jack, it's a great presentation, I would suggest, if possible, focusing more on the use of techniques, costs, and practice of practicality

Im only becoming a senior in high school but this is something I want to pursue when I am older
Great stuff we need smart people like you to want to get involved in the future of agriculture

Thanks! What’s your favourite project?
Infarm...what a great concept
Ya very cool, do you have one in your area?
You need to know about NuLeaf in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. This company is on the rise with it's modular indoor vertical farming solution.
Cool I’ll look into them. What crops do they produce?

Thank you! Do you know the link to the Small Hold Farms Response guide mentioned at 4:35 for achieving similar success in grow spaces?
You can find it on their website smallhold.com it outlines how to grow their mushrooms. They also provide an email you can reach out and ask them questions.
AeroFarms filed for Chapter 11
Yes, what a shame? They were making some incredible advancements but the business model wasn’t sustainable
cool but how is Bright Farms vertical? it is not in the images you've shown here...
can you make an in-depth video on aeroponic towers?
Sure, we’ll get on it!!
Awesome
What’s your favourite start up?

I would really like to work for one of those!!

12 would be optimistic. If energy prices stay high it will be very difficult to make the business model work. What do you think?

Can you tell us more?

How about the energy consumption, carbon footprint etc
We have a video discussing all the disadvantages of vertical farming too!
You could give your presentation more depth and relevance if you also presented once promising vertical farming companies that failed.
We are doing an in-depth video on a vertical farm start up that is super up to date and I hope you will find value in it. Jack

@@surunitemiakanni-oye4346 That’s fascinating. I get your drift. You can’t feed the world on salad and berries.

i don't get why you chose a rice farmer rubbing his knee but ok.
The moment you grow indoors is no longer sustainable👍
What about in areas with no ability to grow veg outside? Artic and dessert areas.
Unfortunately these are all private companies
Why is that unfortunate?
@@foodverge You can't invest in them!
I spend in japan.the other person spend other country.
i am sorry to old man.
