We need overproduction so we have a surplus, last year huge amounts of crops in east africa, middle east and china were destroyed by floods, locusts etc, but thanks to other countries overproducing they were able to import food without issues, if the world was producing exactly what we needed, if there is ever an agricultural disaster somewhere, we would literally starve to death. The food waste is a small price to pay to ensure famine is never a thing again, thats why every country has a policy to subsidise farmers to overproduce.

I've been researching both to see if I can farm on a small scale.

We do it with strawberries here in Louisiana. We have a system running in our backyard. The main benefit for us really comes down to the yield amount even though we’re using such a small area. We were able to stop buying and have enough production for the whole family using a 10x10ft area. We even have enough for two of our neighbors.
@@robertmoray988 Hi Robert! So there’s tons of different design ideas but PVC has worked well for us. We mostly use a gravity system, so inputs: fertilizer, food, and water, go in at the top of the system and are naturally pulled through the system to the lowest run of plants. There’s a book- “Vertical Gardening” by Derek Fell that helped us along the way. It’s not necessary though as there’s tons of information for free online. Google image search: “vertical strawberry growing” and you will have everything you need to know. You can use hydroponic systems or conventional systems. Good luck! Let me know if there’s any snags or questions you come across and I’ll do my best to help you out.
If you like aquaponics, you're gonna *love* aeroponics (Similar method using the plant in a non-soil substrate, but rather than bathing the roots in a trough full of nutrient water, they aerate the solution - the end result is an increased energy cost for fan/pump use, but something like 90-99% less water used)
Great video. I like how it went through both hydroponics and small scale farms. Both systems that the average consumer can get into if they want to be self sustaining! I'm currently expanding my container garden, but plan to eventually get into hydroponics once I've gotten a few years of practice. 😊
That's the future, small personal farms. The "scarcity" scam is outrageous. If we could get back to everyone or even just 20% of a local community growing food, having chickens, ducks, rabbits, and even some with a cow. There would be plenty to go around. I've given family and friends so much food and eggs this past year and for many more to come because I'm constantly trying to learn and build my soil everything here is a closed loop system as much as I can. It just take more responsibilities and work and most are just lazy to start. You keep doing work 🤘
Is it scalable though? I heard it was only really cost effective on crops like micro greens. And if it is cost effective doesn't this encourage monopolisation of the farming industry because of such a high cost of setting up the farms would be a barrier for entry for most farmers
Nothing in this video is scalable, and the vertical farming isn't even profitable. Also, we already have monopolization of agriculture. Just look at the US, the family farm just doesn't work anymore. Because of the efficiency gains from large scale industrial farming the family farm is the thing of the past (my grandfather was the last in my family). Today all poultry is owned by three companies and over time the same thing will happen in all agriculture.
Vertical farming looks to be scalable once the technology, and some other technologies, improve. There's some very informative videos on it here: th-cam.com/video/dnCQuwCtqJg/w-d-xo.html from ExaCognition. Basically the main drawbacks of vertical farming are that you need to pay for all of the energy that goes into the plants, as well as all the nutrients, which are totally or often free in conventional farming. So, plants used in vertical farming are bred and changed to have larger edible parts and smaller and smaller non-edible parts; the controlled environment in a vertical farm means the plants don't need certain features to survive, like they would in the wild. The larger the edible parts are the less nutrients are wasted in the non-edible parts. The other side of the coin is like you said; it's only really effective on crops like micro greens right now, because they take such a small amount of energy to grow. Growing more energy-dense foods like potatoes, corn, or really any grains, is wildly expensive compared to normal farming right now because of the cost of energy. As energy production technologies improve, however, and energy costs go down, we could see higher-energy foods become cost-effective in the future.
the only thing that's scalable is organics. The reporter is very wrong in many things. What's the point of growing vertically? nobody eats just lettuce and microgreens. worldwide we are wasting 35% of the agricultural production , so let's fix that first
@@andrewt6058 no ones gardens will support the whole population. I think vertical farms are more of a necessity because our population is rising whilst we are running out of arable land to farm on. Small scale farms can feed maybe a small town but it could never successfully feed an entire city without becoming industrialized in itself.
@@prod.winterxphool6227 The problem of industrial farming is industrial farming itself... without insects we cannot survive. we have to change our way of farming and living in general
Almost all the farmlands in the US are dedicated to the production of animal feed. That means that if we quit eating animals we could produce more human food. Animals could still be raised for milk, fur, etc. There are literally millions and millions of acres of land in the US where nobody is living. Some of it is amazingly beautiful and some of it is plains (which can also be beautiful). It's BLM land which means you can live there for free as long as you want (in most places). You can't own the land but the Native Americans didn't even know what "owning" land meant, they were just temporary caretakers.
@Paul Revere It takes 10 times as much land to grow animals for consumption than it does to grow crops for people. The only reason we started eating meat in the first place was to get fat in our bodies which gives you energy to do things. Now we can get fat from a variety of sources.
There is definitely a place for indoor vertical farming in the future, but small farms that are off grid, closed loop, no waste systems are the real way.
@@graypudding3005 they dont. you can use the best of both worlds and ppl already doing it. like useing animals that need no maintenance at all like fish and use their water to grow plants, the rest of the water goes back to the fish and there is your closed loop with no waste
@@graypudding3005 want your food at a reduced price? Simple, watch a trained volunteer pick your desired food a few times and then pick your own food from then on
@@gcod3d161 But where would I pick it from? I’d need a solid bit of land to grow food for myself, and that would take lots of work. I couldn’t just travel to fields around me, I would spend more time traveling from field to field for food than is possible if I would want to hold a job. There’s a reason supermarkets exist, to pick up all of your groceries in one place. Also where does this food I pick come from, few farmers are going to work for free. It’s a nice idea, but I simply don’t think it is possible.
What country are you in? There are many opportunities to do just that. I farm a commercial vegetable plot where we focus on those methods, regenerative agriculture within a permaculture system.
"Her family's 20-acre plot." That, right there is why these things can only be accomplished by a handful of individuals. Wish I had a 20-acre plot to work with. Or even a 1-acre plot to get started.

“Who controls the food supply controls the people; who controls the energy can control whole continents; who controls money can control the world.” - Henry Kissinger
What an amazing perspective you brought!! Net zero, sustainable small holder farming is ideal wherever it can be done, and vertical farming serves importance in dense/land/water scarce areas where people already are and need it. I hope we can implement this and break down corporate precedents that impede sustainability.
A lot of this technology of vertical growing with hydroponics and Led lights have been used 1st by marijuana growers. They developed all the techniques that you see in larger corporate companies. You’re welcome
Conventional & de-centralized farming has the highest degree of sustainability. It also is in sync with the de-centralized (and intermittent) power production of wind and solar. The concept shown might be a solution for currently over-populated areas but eventually de-centralized settlement and energy consumption are the only way forward. That's why this approach here can only be a solution for a transition phase.
@@malaciousmark3903 The opposite of what we are seeing here: local production is meeting local consumption, thus resulting in a lot less emissions from transport.
@@f.d.6667 yes but if transport is less then it takes to make these plants indoor then it doesn’t matter. That being said I am all for centralized farming and importing food. Both have their place!
@@malaciousmark3903 I think you might be missing the key idea here (underlying physics and thermodynamics): local production AND local consumption equals *zero* transport, thus no emissions. And "Plants indoors" always means collecting, transporting and distributing energy, water and nutrients - so it's systemically worse that conventional farming. *Don't get me wrong: I love imported foods and centralized farming is keeping greens affordable - and I don't have a problem with that at all!* My point is rather that the video is big BS, as it is trying to sell the viewer "more of yesterday" as the future. And that is a bit annoying and irresponsible, looking at the target group VICE has.
Amazing and needed step towards mitigating the negatives of an impending future but also yet another example of how science and technology is destabilizing traditional work from traditional workers and moving more towards corporate production.
This was a good story. I was totally predicting this to go in a different direction consisting of lab raised foods so I'm relieved that this story did not venture down that path.
Small farms don' not necessarily mean more healthy, because nobody is doing quality control, make no mistake, the cost of taste has a much higher risk than the blandness of a Netherlands high-tech farm.
I love people therefore I will give good cuality no cancericenous food meanwhile helping my communities, one tomato that feeds you more without you have to spend the cheaps ones in hospitals.
Love this stuff! Both are relevant and viable. Other agro systems will also be required to be considered to meet current and future global food demand without the utter destruction of the natural environment.
What's missing from this video is the third option: local and high-tech. Guess what, every normal modern family farm has an internet connection, information exchange is one of the best ways to reduce waste. People don't need to know how most of their fancy computers work, and while vertical farms are highly specialized, electricity isn't inherently like that. Contemporary small farming methods are as far away from old school pre-industrial agriculture as the vertical farms are from big tractors and giant corporate fields - we have been in a new era for far longer than we think.
Cool, thanks for letting us know good sir. May I inquire, if your mama works there as well? Or is it just the father who worketh there, while son maketh youtube comments on youtube?
The Dutch government had prioritised agricultural R&D, which makes them this efficient now. Just shows how much benefit there is of throwing large sums of money to science.
If you go to Google maps and switch to satellite viewing you will see so many greenhouses in Southern Spain or Sicily. It is a sea of plastic. How are the workers treated?
Not treated very well. Paid 3 euros a day with makeshift shed they live in. Most workers is from Morocco. The water reserve is drying up. It can’t keep up with the current demand.
You won't get the vitamins from the sun when grown under light. Vitamin d is one of them. I grew tomatoes in my house in northern Wisconsin in the winter, one plant under high pressure sodium light and two hanging in my south window in the sun. The one under light didn't have the color or flavor of the ones hanging in the south window.
Good point. Surely, the tomatoes grown on normal soil, under the sun and skies with the rhythm of seasons have a better taste and flavour than those grown in a hurry under LED lights with no respite from the light or resting under the cover of darkness.
But what about the hundreds of thousands of living anachronisms in the midwestern US? How will they continued to get government subsidies for not doing anything if a system like this is implemented in America?
They look nice and fancy, but they are giant sink holes for raw nutrients. Not promoting a healthy living soil, breaking down and reusing biomass; nothing. They churn out a TON of product obviously enough, they were designed to extract every last advantage they can, but without a soil community or proper composting and fungus management they constantly have to bring in extracts of various minerals and nutrients to pipet in exact amounts into their perfectly controlled water supply. They are not sustainable, and end up draining other places that package and sell you the nutrients to keep your green machines engine running.
I like the idea of having some land and having local people manage small sections for personal production in a organic and holistic approach. Hey why not 👍
Second solution doesn't really seem viable to feed large populations, more like a small village. But can we learn more about the first solution? Like what other kinds of crops can be grown in vertical farms? What are the yields like? What are the costs now and how can we scale up to reduce them and make it more viable? I would love a full length documentary on the state of vertical farms today. I'd imagine this is a fast changing industry.
Actually it is!!! It takes a thousand years or more to recreate even just a tiny layer of fertile soil. It essentially creates deserts. High yield farming dramatically degrades soils, even with better no till, rotation practices. It's easier to understand if you consider soil health the same way you'd consider a aquifer.
Can confirm, as a corporate cannabis grower for the biggest company on the stockmarket, many farms are now copying hemp and hydroponics farmers who started in the 'herbal smoke' scene. Also the purple aka 'blurple LED' is long behind now, as Samsung has a pure white light using the lm301 chip, which surpassed the purple/blurple led many years ago. This farm shown is kind of behind now in terms of technology and farming innovation being used by the top indoor cannabis farms in America.
"One house one farm" concept may be developed to solve food problem. Local councils can allocate plots to residents in UK for cultivation through pilot projects to see the outcome.
The goverment wants to get rid of the farmers familys, we need to support them! They made our food our entire life, they are being milked by the goverment aswell, time to step up. Do not let our farmers die out bcuz of the plandemic
the price of market food is up where i live at least 25 % . its not farms that are the reason of high prices. its corps. the stock market super leach is bringing down the rest of the world.
Here's the catch, those facilities consume allot, and I mean allot of electricity. They also cost a ton of money to build. Just some cons to consider when talking about commercial vertical farming. Also I'm not sure that guy "invented vertical farming" lol..
But, with the cost of living and products within inner cities, the closer to the inner city you get, the more those costs get drowns and wiped out compared to the value it brings. Think about a skyscraper in downtown manhatten that is a massive vertical farm, and the value that would bring to manhatten to get rid of their food desert. (Skyscraper farms have been discussed before... but the major bottleneck is how to have vast amounts of water that high up and the pumps needed for it, as well as the weight that would have to be accounted for. But I believe)

Ah, this farm needs to implement 'vertical farming' to utilize more square footage. He can grow double the tomato in the same area of land, easily, with 'vertical farming techniques'.

Google image search: “vertical strawberry growing” and you will have everything you need to know. You can use hydroponic systems or conventional systems. Good luck! Let me know if there’s any snags or questions you come across and I’ll do my best to help you out.

Aquaponics looks promising too, especially for greens. For flowering/fruiting crops the dual root zone method works well.
Easily combined with small fish farms.
If you like aquaponics, you're gonna *love* aeroponics (Similar method using the plant in a non-soil substrate, but rather than bathing the roots in a trough full of nutrient water, they aerate the solution - the end result is an increased energy cost for fan/pump use, but something like 90-99% less water used)
Yeah for weed

Great video. I like how it went through both hydroponics and small scale farms. Both systems that the average consumer can get into if they want to be self sustaining!

That's the future, small personal farms. The "scarcity" scam is outrageous. If we could get back to everyone or even just 20% of a local community growing food, having chickens, ducks, rabbits, and even some with a cow. There would be plenty to go around. I've given family and friends so much food and eggs this past year and for many more to come because I'm constantly trying to learn and build my soil everything here is a closed loop system as much as I can.

That is what I want to do when I get my own home.
Is it scalable though? I heard it was only really cost effective on crops like micro greens.
And if it is cost effective doesn't this encourage monopolisation of the farming industry because of such a high cost of setting up the farms would be a barrier for entry for most farmers
Everything in this video is scalable.. the organic for sure, and the hydro. I get a 401K and work in both areas for the 'herb'
Nothing in this video is scalable, and the vertical farming isn't even profitable. Also, we already have monopolization of agriculture. Just look at the US, the family farm just doesn't work anymore. Because of the efficiency gains from large scale industrial farming the family farm is the thing of the past (my grandfather was the last in my family). Today all poultry is owned by three companies and over time the same thing will happen in all agriculture.
@@dertythegrower Nothing in this video is scalable, and it's not profitable outside of marijuana production.
Vertical farming looks to be scalable once the technology, and some other technologies, improve.
There's some very informative videos on it here:
th-cam.com/video/dnCQuwCtqJg/w-d-xo.html
from ExaCognition.
Basically the main drawbacks of vertical farming are that you need to pay for all of the energy that goes into the plants, as well as all the nutrients, which are totally or often free in conventional farming.
So, plants used in vertical farming are bred and changed to have larger edible parts and smaller and smaller non-edible parts; the controlled environment in a vertical farm means the plants don't need certain features to survive, like they would in the wild. The larger the edible parts are the less nutrients are wasted in the non-edible parts.
The other side of the coin is like you said; it's only really effective on crops like micro greens right now, because they take such a small amount of energy to grow. Growing more energy-dense foods like potatoes, corn, or really any grains, is wildly expensive compared to normal farming right now because of the cost of energy. As energy production technologies improve, however, and energy costs go down, we could see higher-energy foods become cost-effective in the future.
the only thing that's scalable is organics. The reporter is very wrong in many things. What's the point of growing vertically? nobody eats just lettuce and microgreens. worldwide we are wasting 35% of the agricultural production , so let's fix that first
id rather own a garden in my yard because it seems really relaxing
Well your own little garden won’t be able to supply the rest of the world with food.
Like you can afford this lol
@@andrewt6058 no ones gardens will support the whole population. I think vertical farms are more of a necessity because our population is rising whilst we are running out of arable land to farm on. Small scale farms can feed maybe a small town but it could never successfully feed an entire city without becoming industrialized in itself.
@@prod.winterxphool6227 The problem of industrial farming is industrial farming itself... without insects we cannot survive. we have to change our way of farming and living in general
@@KD-op4yz right, its called an ecosystem for a reason
Almost all the farmlands in the US are dedicated to the production of animal feed. That means that if we quit eating animals we could produce more human food. Animals could still be raised for milk, fur, etc. There are literally millions and millions of acres of land in the US where nobody is living. Some of it is amazingly beautiful and some of it is plains (which can also be beautiful). It's BLM land which means you can live there for free as long as you want (in most places). You can't own the land but the Native Americans didn't even know what "owning" land meant, they were just temporary caretakers.
@Paul Revere It takes 10 times as much land to grow animals for consumption than it does to grow crops for people. The only reason we started eating meat in the first place was to get fat in our bodies which gives you energy to do things. Now we can get fat from a variety of sources.
I didn't know that,Much Mahalo 4 the info.
I am currently doing this on Oahu,Hi.
There is definitely a place for indoor vertical farming in the future, but small farms that are off grid, closed loop, no waste systems are the real way.
Education and financial support for the everyday person to join this effort would solve so many problems simultaneously.
Yeah but that requires a lot of manpower to work them. Imagine how much of the population would have to be farmers to sustain this
@@graypudding3005 they dont. you can use the best of both worlds and ppl already doing it. like useing animals that need no maintenance at all like fish and use their water to grow plants, the rest of the water goes back to the fish and there is your closed loop with no waste
@@graypudding3005 want your food at a reduced price? Simple, watch a trained volunteer pick your desired food a few times and then pick your own food from then on
@@gcod3d161 But where would I pick it from? I’d need a solid bit of land to grow food for myself, and that would take lots of work. I couldn’t just travel to fields around me, I would spend more time traveling from field to field for food than is possible if I would want to hold a job. There’s a reason supermarkets exist, to pick up all of your groceries in one place.
Also where does this food I pick come from, few farmers are going to work for free.
It’s a nice idea, but I simply don’t think it is possible.

Check your local gardens. Most neighborhoods have a local garden
"Her family's 20-acre plot."
That, right there is why these things can only be accomplished by a handful of individuals. Wish I had a 20-acre plot to work with. Or even a 1-acre plot to get started.
I hope that you put that out to the universe to grow your own food on your land
If you aren't maximizing the 1 acre or half acre you have, the universe won't give you more. It won't give you more than you can handle.
Buy a plot? Farmland is not very expensive.

If you're interested in sustainability, I recommend you check out Geoff Lawton
“Sometimes , even the most simplest things in life can make a person the happiest!”
Conventional & de-centralized farming has the highest degree of sustainability. It also is in sync with the de-centralized (and intermittent) power production of wind and solar. The concept shown might be a solution for currently over-populated areas but eventually de-centralized settlement and energy consumption are the only way forward. That's why this approach here can only be a solution for a transition phase.
What is de-cEntralized farming
@@malaciousmark3903 The opposite of what we are seeing here: local production is meeting local consumption, thus resulting in a lot less emissions from transport.
@@f.d.6667 yes but if transport is less then it takes to make these plants indoor then it doesn’t matter. That being said I am all for centralized farming and importing food. Both have their place!
@@malaciousmark3903 I think you might be missing the key idea here (underlying physics and thermodynamics): local production AND local consumption equals *zero* transport, thus no emissions. And "Plants indoors" always means collecting, transporting and distributing energy, water and nutrients - so it's systemically worse that conventional farming. *Don't get me wrong: I love imported foods and centralized farming is keeping greens affordable - and I don't have a problem with that at all!* My point is rather that the video is big BS, as it is trying to sell the viewer "more of yesterday" as the future. And that is a bit annoying and irresponsible, looking at the target group VICE has.
Amazing and needed step towards mitigating the negatives of an impending future but also yet another example of how science and technology is destabilizing traditional work from traditional workers and moving more towards corporate production.
Food production was already moving toward corporate production. The day of the small farmer is over in the US and that will happen everywhere.
This was a good story. I was totally predicting this to go in a different direction consisting of lab raised foods so I'm relieved that this story did not venture down that path.
Small farms don' not necessarily mean more healthy, because nobody is doing quality control, make no mistake, the cost of taste has a much higher risk than the blandness of a Netherlands high-tech farm.

What's missing from this video is the third option: local and high-tech. Guess what, every normal modern family farm has an internet connection, information exchange is one of the best ways to reduce waste. People don't need to know how most of their fancy computers work, and while vertical farms are highly specialized, electricity isn't inherently like that.
Contemporary small farming methods are as far away from old school pre-industrial agriculture as the vertical farms are from big tractors and giant corporate fields - we have been in a new era for far longer than we think.

You won't get the vitamins from the sun when grown under light. Vitamin d is one of them. I grew tomatoes in my house in northern Wisconsin in the winter, one plant under high pressure sodium light and two hanging in my south window in the sun. The one under light didn't have the color or flavor of the ones hanging in the south window.
Good point.
Surely, the tomatoes grown on normal soil, under the sun and skies with the rhythm of seasons have a better taste and flavour than those grown in a hurry under LED lights with no respite from the light or resting under the cover of darkness.
But what about the hundreds of thousands of living anachronisms in the midwestern US? How will they continued to get government subsidies for not doing anything if a system like this is implemented in America?
All of these ideas are AWESOME!!!
They look nice and fancy, but they are giant sink holes for raw nutrients. Not promoting a healthy living soil, breaking down and reusing biomass; nothing. They churn out a TON of product obviously enough, they were designed to extract every last advantage they can, but without a soil community or proper composting and fungus management they constantly have to bring in extracts of various minerals and nutrients to pipet in exact amounts into their perfectly controlled water supply. They are not sustainable, and end up draining other places that package and sell you the nutrients to keep your green machines engine running.
Love This!!
I like the idea of having some land and having local people manage small sections for personal production in a organic and holistic approach. Hey why not 👍
Second solution doesn't really seem viable to feed large populations, more like a small village. But can we learn more about the first solution? Like what other kinds of crops can be grown in vertical farms? What are the yields like? What are the costs now and how can we scale up to reduce them and make it more viable? I would love a full length documentary on the state of vertical farms today. I'd imagine this is a fast changing industry.
They make it sound like top soil being 1/3rd no longer fertile, like it’s a non renewable resource.... like.. that’s not how farming works at all
Actually it is!!! It takes a thousand years or more to recreate even just a tiny layer of fertile soil. It essentially creates deserts. High yield farming dramatically degrades soils, even with better no till, rotation practices.
It's easier to understand if you consider soil health the same way you'd consider a aquifer.

Can confirm, as a corporate cannabis grower for the biggest company on the stockmarket, many farms are now copying hemp and hydroponics farmers who started in the 'herbal smoke' scene. Also the purple aka 'blurple LED' is long behind now, as Samsung has a pure white light using the lm301 chip, which surpassed the purple/blurple led many years ago. This farm shown is kind of behind now in terms of technology and farming innovation being used by the top indoor cannabis farms in America.

Also I'm not sure that guy "invented vertical farming" lol..
But, with the cost of living and products within inner cities, the closer to the inner city you get, the more those costs get drowns and wiped out compared to the value it brings. Think about a skyscraper in downtown manhatten that is a massive vertical farm, and the value that would bring to manhatten to get rid of their food desert. (Skyscraper farms have been discussed before... but the major bottleneck is how to have vast amounts of water that high up and the pumps needed for it, as well as the weight that would have to be accounted for.
