  • Advances in farming have let us feed billions. The future of agriculture offers many more innovations in robotics, hydroponics, aquaponics, aeroponics, greenhouses, and more... but will it be a future of mega-farms or small farms?

    "a crop so strong and abundant it starts growing in every nook and cranny" so dandelions. Yes they are edible.

    Space farmer: lives in O'Neill colony. Still complains about the weather.

    As a 5th generation farmer in Nebraska, I love your perspective! Optimism for the future of farming is abundant, but often not grounded in reality. We will always need farmers- even if they are commanding a fleet of drones.

    I'm curious about how new types of fungi will impact food production. Allegedly, certain kinds of mushrooms can produce more natural feeling imitation meat because of the texture. The revolution in fungi warrants attention.

    Bats pollinate and eat vast quantities of insects at night when bees sleep.

    To be clear, this is not how farming futures work. That's a totally different thing.

    There's been a drive lately on some reservations to try and favor indigenous bees. While they aren't as efficient and don't produce honey. The diversity of species keeps certain diseases from spreading.

    How's the Isaac Arthur farm/greenhouse coming along?

    I know lots of farmers in Ohio, but there are less than when I was a kid. Only like half the farm kids I went to school with stayed farmers.

    Huh, I never realized or even really considered that Isaac Arthur lived in a rural area or be engaged in farming and/or gardening. I guess I always imagined him as some sort of professor at some university somewhere. i think its really cool that the same person who pretty much shaped my vision of humanities future with things like space habitats and Dyson swarms and such does things like farming or beekeeping as a job/hobby.

    Can't wait for more action in the Agri-voltaic space. As solar panels get cheaper to match the rock bottom in Ultra violet LED, 1-10 acre farms will have far more variety than they do now. One person managing an installation will be far more common than one person being a combine operator.

    Nothing like some SFIA after my Jiu Jitsu class. Would love to hear you talk about Krasnikov tubes at some point in the FTL series.

    Cellular agriculture and fully or partially automated greenhouses are probably going to be major game-changers in the industry. I for one am one of those folk getting increasingly interested in agriculture as a profession! :)
