I could've imagined pro Vegan/Vegetarian groups getting on this and bash the creators on why they included the new technologies on handling livestock, fish and insects, but being that lab-grown meat and Mark Post's comments were included later on proves to me how balanced this documentary is. Thank you TDC people for making such high quality and informative videos!
An examination of the high-tech agricultural innovations coming down the pipeline. Over the next two decades, a technological wave will revolutionize the efficiency of farms all over the world. It can’t come soon enough. By the year 2050 the human population will be nearly 10 billion-which means we’ll need to double the amount of food we now produce.
I think we are moving towards that anyway, look at google which gives free food to people working, and hotels and other business / resturants do that too! and buffets are starting to give away their food after they close to homeless shelters. I hope we realize that food is not that expensive and highly available so its like internet, its in your rent now.
Big Ag is not the answer to feeding the world. Its practices are killing the soils. All international agriculture organizations recognize this fact. th-cam.com/video/zAn5YxL1PbM/w-d-xo.html
The Daily Conversation I think these solutions don't consider a lot of moral issues about how much food we waste, how unhealthy modern societies are and how unacceptable the treatment for other creatures is when farming. I would like to see a video about permaculture, agroforestry, organic farming, CO2 sequestration, urban and personal farms, 3d farming, vegan local practices. Other solutions to feed ourselves better and healthier and help the natural world to recover.

I was driving in Nebraska when I saw a corn field. I said, 'That looks like a great spot to hunt pheasants. My friend replied, "There aren't many pheasants anymore. Modern farming practices are far more efficient, and don't leave much seed behind. They also farm all of the way to the edges of the field eliminating cover for the pheasants to hide or nest.
One part missing is soil conservation and regenerative agriculture Instead of trying to short circuit nature and beat it to submission lets try to work with nature It has sustained us for a long time and can continue to do so
When it comes down too it we have to get rid of the thought that its up to a very small percent of people (i.e. the farmers) to feed their respective countrys population. It's up to us as a whole to feed ourselves. Dig up your lawn and start a small garden, grow some plants in your window sill, get your neighbours together as a community and figure out your food needs so you can delegate certain crops to certain people so at harvest time when Dave has the tomatoes and Sarah has the beans etc. Etc. The community can reap what they've sown and everybody eats. When it comes down to it the only way we can truly count on the continuity of our food source's (and more importantly the QUALITY) is for us regular people to re-learn how to feed ourselves. It really isn't that difficult and when you know what you're doing it can even be fun.
Perhaps Africa should pivot and not only produce green energy and export it to other continents but also produce food through vertical farming using solar power/green energy. I really think vertical farming is the way to go, because you can control the environment; amount of water you use, how much & the type of light the plants get, control bugs & insect without chemicals, re-use the same water, automation, local product VS importing from thousands of miles away etc.
Love it. Love everything about it. Especially Vertically farming. That's a big aspect in the sci-fi novel I'm writing, along with lab grown meats, fully autonomous harvesting, 3D printing food via capsulized food (i.e. foodini), etc. I imagine skyscraper scale vertical farms being built around the world, allowing humanity's footprint to gradually scale back to cities/towns as traditional field farming becomes obsolete and reforestation can occur much faster, even while the human population continues to grow.
You left out one important part of the equation. The soil must go back to the earth which the food came from. For example: Much of the food we consume in western Europe comes from Spain. But then the dried sewage is gets put on the closest (and cheapest) communal landfill instead of being returned to back to the farmers in Spain. Though it sounds trivial now, this will become a very serious issue in the future (if left unchecked)
Modern farming is like mining with plants, creating wastelands that are dependent on fertilizer made from petroleum and poisons that leech into the soil and waterways, killing off the natural ecosystems. The giant fields of wheat or corn or soy or whatever crop, is a failed paradigm. Most of the world's deserts are man-made by mismanagement, talk about climate change, look at the fertile crescent, look at the loess plateau
Indonesia has a lot of Tuna with yellow fin, but we indonesians almost never eat that fish because a lot of foreign fisher steal it in massive amount, and it's finally stopped by our Ocean ministry after all these years, unfortunately the Tuna with the yellow fin has been so rare in population and then we will try to cultivate it to fix it's population and protect it from illegal fishing
Hello friends, I'm a farmer from Indonesia. Greetings from me. Good luck, always healthy and prosperous, for all of us. and I hope that Indonesian farmers are getting more advanced, like in your country, the tools are sophisticated, and modern. I hope we can be friends, exchange knowledge and knowledge even through youtube and this virtual world amen 🙏🤝🤝
Lets put all this tech together, and come up with a video on robotic agriculture without a comment section, where people out their own ignorance. Some of these comments come all the way back from 2008. In spirit, at least. Dated. Also, I fully support full automation of agriculture. Weather or not predictions on human population are accurate. Notice, nothing is being said about curbing human population, particularly in third world regions, where people are having enough kids to field their own softball team, for some reason.
Exactly. The way I see it, is if you don't want to be replaced by a robot, you have to be the one that designs the robot. I fully intend on advancing this technological revolution, instead of being left behind with the old farms.

Super Cool! I am taking a class on the US food system. This is very fitting, thank you. You guys make great content! I'm so glad to see your viewership has increased in the last year or so. Well deserved. And keep up the great work!!!!!!
By addressing the real issue that "conventional factory farming" needs to evolve to regenerate soil and carbon capture without compromising or even improving yield. This includes diverse ground covers year round and technology monitoring, even use of intensive stock grazing and rotation in pastures, I could talk for hours and am putting together a podcast on the subject
As a farmer in California, I can assure the creator of this film that I can produce four times the production of vegetables on one square foot of ground than a hydroponic warehouse farm can under artificial light. I agree it's an interesting idea, but it doesn't come close to the production or cost efficiency U.S. Farmers produce vegetables for on one acre of land. On the other hand, as Amazon continues to decimate the 1980's economic model of Brick & Mortar stores leaving vacant malls all around US cities, maybe these facilities can be used for something productive again like growing food. It would just need to make economic sense for private industry to rehab a mall into a indoor vegetable growing facility and turn a profit. Lastly, we do not need to double production to feed the world. The world needs to stop making more people. Their's already a tremendous amount of wasted crop left in fields that the U.S. public deems unusable due to a slight blemish, whereas in foreign countries they would be happy to have that same food product.
You did forget one point, and one that could be applied right now and with a minimum budget from the states: EDUCATION: Educate people not to waste food (in US 40% of food is wasted), educate people not to eat meet every day, educate people to consume local food, educate people to grow some of their own foodµ, etc..
What about the nutrients? You neglected to mention whether those different methods of farming yield plants with the same or good levels of nutrients as regular farming. Nutrient rich foods have been declining in recent years. People seem to forget the importance.
People should really take a look at the micro-nutrient content decline in our food since the green revolution. And it's narrow minded to ignore the capability of healthy soil to sequester carbon in reversing climate change. Take a look at www.4p1000.org
@@TszyanChan yes, what need to be changed isnt technology as much as science and understanding seems like big agriculture isnt even up to date with recent research about the importance of soil health and organic matter on crop yield why? because big agriculture products sellers, cant sell you a healthy soil is the same issue with big pharma vs healthy life-style healthy agriculture isnt profiteable when there are no quality control or monitoring of our food's health and mineral content Its even worse tho they have interest in selling more sync fertilizers and chemicals, so healthy soils isnt in their best interests there are many evidences that sync fertilizers and chemicals destroy soil texture and reduce organic matters
+Spicy Spud Or maybe because the U.S doesnt want to go down the path of Venezuela, Brazil, and any other country that was desperate enough to implement Socialism. Bernie is just like those politicians. The worst part is that immigrants who ESCAPE these socialist hell holes comes to America and votes for the same people they flee from.

The Daily Conversation a video about the development and future of language might be interesting. You should look up the Waverley labs pilot. Eventually we might have chips in our brain translating other languages for us.
We use the DJI Agras & Mavic Enterprise drones on our farm & the accuracy & data they provide is extremely beneficial. Using them for the targeted application of organic supplements in a 60 acre field is incredibly cost effective. Great video! High quality & information packed.
We embrace all this technology and innovation, allow GMOs, yet our children are among the sickest in any developed country in the world. Sicknesses range from all kinds of autoimmune disorders to all levels of neurological disorders. By 2032 1 out of 2 children born will be diagnosed with Autism. We also have the highest SIDS rates and the craziest, out of control, vaccination schedule. Ya think we might be doing something wrong? 🤔
Nah, just keep eating your soylent green hun, you'll be fine. The good people of Monsatan care about you and your families health.

A comparison of arguments for and against genetic Modifaction of animals would be interesting, as well as the question as to whether animals are happy.
America is a superpower because it's always been an agricultural powerhouse. The other countries which have the potential to match America's ability to produce massive amount of food grains, vegetables and fruits are Russia, China, Australia, Canada, Africa (the whole continent combined)and to a certain extent India if they let go of subsistence and primitive form of farming.
Could you do a video on the future of language? Translation technology like pilot from Waverley labs could potentially make it so we can understand everyone
This is sick since some month's I have watched all of your videos and they are all great man again a perfect video with amazing information and pictures
The billions-of-years-of-R&D that nature has produced is being overlooked in this clip. Fairly speaking, not many people are aware of so many symbiotic relationships and unique adaptations in nature that can be leveraged for much greater production while potentiating massive energy efficiencies (I mean, are we taking the time to learn just how amazingly efficient and integrated a wild ecosystem is?). Permaculture is a very effective means of organic food production, but it requires the relinquishment of the de facto monopoly of big agriculture, a personal responsibility for own and community food availability and much more knowledge. This does not mean a low-tech approach at all. Please check it out and help spread the word
Ah man this was necessarily uplifting :)... Although, my biggest concern over GMOs is the economic impact. Only one maybe two companies control all GMO seeds. I don't know about you,but I don't want the future of the human race dependent on the ethics of a company that has a monopoly.
While organic food is healthier. Organic farming requires more land, labor, and time than intensive farming. That is the reason why organic food is more expensive. That being said organic farming cannot feed the world. The amount of arable land that would be needed to feed the world organic food would have the forests plowed under for farms and also livestock pastures to collect the manure needed to fertilize the crops (since you can't use chemical ferts).
It can feed the world. For example China's population was 550 million in 1950 all sustained by organic farming. Old methods and outdated techniques fed that many people. Surely new methods of soil and land management using the latest technology and knowledge from the fields of ecology, gentics and so on can feed the 1.4 billion in China now?
JimmyG Yours first sentence is the answer.Organic food is healthier, more nutritious, so you don’t need a large amount.Right now we don’t have food shortage, we have money shortage to by all that food that gets wasted.Intense labor? Let’s think about automatization ,small farms an biodiversity instead large monoculture farms.Fertilizers-food waste (vegetable scraps) composting with worms- best org.fert.If you stop seeing food as money it’s much easier to go organic
I found this information very useful for farmers and i tried to make an Albanian translation. I added Albanian subtitles in order to share to Albanian farmers. I don't know why it is not shown yet ?
Could you address the issue of depleting phosphorus reserves and its unsustainable open loop cycle? It is a necessary macronutrient for all life, which means it is a necessary part of agriculture. Our current agricultural system and fertilisation methods doesn't manage it sustainably and a shortage is looming.
Isaac Detherage I did unsub. I love learning about the latest technological and scientific breakthroughs but please spare us the unhealthy dose of neoliberal politics. This video is political by omission, as it doesn't address the problem of gmo ownership of certain crops. The owners of these new crops are ruthless and demand third world countries pay up to use them or else starve
With a growing population and ever increasing methods for getting higher yield out of smaller areas, the ones that are losing jobs as opposed to creating more aren't doing it right.
What is a more compelling argument: "Stop making farmers lose their jobs and make less food" or "stop the 9.1 million that die each year from starvation by making more food with the help of robots" ?
Well researched, clearly presented, and quite informative. Thanks Bryce. Looking forward to your next ep. If you haven't tackled it already- I think the private sector launch market might be interesting. Launch costs are falling quite quickly(especially among the small launchers like Vector, Rocketlab, and ArcaSpace) and those reductions will change the way we use orbital and outer space in so many ways

MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN
There's a great amount of research and effort put in this video. It's very informative and entertaining. Thank you for doing this. Im look forward to more of your videos.
If we only eat what we planted, there is enough food for everyone, but most of the time we trade most of our harvest to what we called money to buy things we don't really need
Most of them die during childbirth so they don't have to worry about nourishing a huge society, they just have to worry about everything else. They are an ode to the fear of changing.
PuzzleMessage you're right. I know that some of the stuff we are eating is like this, but comon look at them can you put them in your mouth voluntarily. to be fair I'm the kind of person that get disgusted from a lot of things may be it's just me
Ahmad Abdallah Actually i would eat crickets if you deep fried them :) Anything's good when deepfried. Also, think of escargots, they look gross but they are delicious.
one of the best scenarios to feed the population in 2050 is reducing meat consumption which is one of the biggest environmental and agricultural issues. we have to change our consumption behaviors and we stop wasting food by giving it to animals when human beings are dieing Because of starvation in Africa. the situation is really serious and we have to prepare ourselves for the future.
the only way to feed the world population is to have more people grow their own food, back in WW2 era, alot of families did have their own little plot of food, had chickens, and in towns and cities especially in brittian took their food waste to a local farmer who owned pigs and fed it to them, instead of throwing it in the trash that would end up in the dump. Even if we turn away from our wasteful way of society we would not have alot of the problems we have today. More is not always better.
Who ever heard of diverse polycultures of plant guilds integrated with animals to recycle wastes and manage pests and weeds? It's not like that's how nature works or anything like that. Besides, who wants to produce more food with less input and an increase in land fertility over time, right? In all seriousness you can throw all the technology and robotics at the problem, but if we're still running acres upon acres of single crop monocultures with chemical fertilizers and poisons, we'll keep degrading our arable land and killing our ecosystems.
Cows are part of the solution to climate change : ) I recommend reading this book or searching the authors videos. Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet. Book by Diana Rodgers and Robb Wolf.
texte complet de la vidéo : Over the next two decades, a technological wave will revolutionize the efficiency of farms all over the world. It can’t come soon enough. By the year 2050 the human population will be nearly 10 million which means we’ll need to have doubled the amount of food we now produce. This is an examination of the agricultural innovations coming down the pipeline that will help get us there. The industry has undergone major developments over the last century. 100 years ago, farming looked like this. Today, it looks like this. And tomorrow, it will look something like this. These changes have allowed many of us to do other things with our lives. In 1900, 10.9 million agricultural workers produced the food for 76 million people. Today, just 6.5 million workers feed 321.4 million Americans. Two factors were most responsible for this surge in productivity: engines and the widespread availability of electricity. Today, the innovations on our immediate horizon include autonomous pickers UK researchers have already created one that gathers strawberries twice as fast as humans, the challenge will be creating robotic pickers that can switch between all kinds of corps; Robots or drones that can precisely remove weeds or shoot them with a targeted spread of pesticide, using 90% less chemicals than a conventional blanket sprayer. For the organic farmer, they could zap the weeds with a laser instead. This could have a big impact, the UN estimates that each year, between 20 and 40% of global crop yields are destroyed by pests and disease. Tiny sensors and cameras will monitor crop growth and alert farmers on their smartphones if there’s a problem, or when it’s the best time to harvest; The BoniRob can take a soil sample, liquidize it, then analyze its pH and phosphorous levels-all in real time. As a proof-of-concept for all this autonomous farming technology, researchers at Harper Adams in the UK plan to grow and harvest an entire hectare of Barley without humans ever entering the field. Companies like Agribotix have already commercialized software that analyzes drone-captured infrared images to spot unhealthy vegetation. Then, like a real-life game of “Sim-Farmer,” the grower is alerted on their device when a troubled area is identified. Machine learning will regularly improve the system’s ability to differentiate between varieties of crops and the weeds that threaten them. Not to be left out, a company called Mavrx contracts 100 pilots to fly light-aircraft that are outfitted with multispectral camera on data-gathering missions over large farms throughout the country; For an even wider view, Planet Labs operates a fleet of CubeSats that take weekly images of entire farms from space to help monitor crops; Other companies are creating analytics software to act as farm-management systems, allowing growers of all sizes to deal with this new tsunami of data; And The Farmer’s Business Network combines data from many farms into one giant pool to give its members the power of macro-level insights that have traditionally only been available to corporate mega-farms; Vertical farms are essentially warehouses with stacks of hydroponic systems to grow leafy greens. They’re sprouting up in cities all over the world where fresh produce - and land - is scarce. The key obstacle here is the cost of energy, and the toll using a lot of it takes on the environment. The upside is that artificial lights and climate-controlled buildings allow crops to grow day and night, year-round, producing a significantly higher yield per square foot than an outdoor farm. For now, though, only expensive, leafy greens like lettuce - or herbs like basil - have proven profitable in the vertical system. And the jury is definitely still out on whether this is truly an environmentally - friendly technique One possible solution is to use blue and red light wavelengths to optimize photosynthesis and turbo-boost growth-a technique tested by researchers at project Growing Underground, an experimental farm operating in old World War II bomb shelters underneath London; Another advancement in indoor farming is the Open Agriculture Initiative, which aims to create a “catalogue of climates” so temperature and humidity can be set to re-create the perfect conditions for growing crops that would normally come from all over the world, locally instead. This is an attempt to tackle the “food miles” issue. When produce is s shipped around the world it creates unnecessary CO2 emissions. Just look at a where a few of the items you eat today were cultivated to understand how big of a problem this is. The millions of people entering the middle class every year in developing countries are demanding tens of millions of pounds of additional meat. These ideas aim to get the most from every animal. Who would’ve thought Fitbits could be for livestock too? Cows are being fitted with smart collar that monitor if they’re sick or, if they’re moving around more, which is a sign of fertility; Researchers at Scotland’s Rural College are analysing cow breath. Exhaled ketones and sulfides reveal potential problems with an animal’s diet; thermal imaging cameras spot inflamed udders to provide earlier treatment to combat a bacterial infection known as mastitis, one of the costliest setbacks in the dairy industry; 3-D cameras that quickly measure the weight and muscle mass of cattle, so they’re sold at their beefiest. Companies have even begun positioning microphones above pig pens to detect coughs, giving sick animals the treatment, they need a full 12 days earlier than before. Less antibiotics are used if fewer animals become ill for shorter lengths of time. And a system of just three cameras, developed by researchers in Belgium, tracks the movements of thousands of chickens to analyze their behaviour and spot over 90% of possible problems.
Oh god I hope not. The future of our culture, relationships, and social well-being desperately needs a revisionist of our technological vector! I guess it depends on your definition of living!

When it comes down too it we have to get rid of the thought that its up to a very small percent of people (i.e. the farmers) to feed their respective countrys population. It's up to us as a whole to feed ourselves. Dig up your lawn and start a small garden, grow some plants in your window sill, get your neighbours together as a community and figure out your food needs so you can delegate certain crops to certain people so at harvest time when Dave has the tomatoes and Sarah has the beans etc. Etc. The community can reap what they've sown and everybody eats.

It really isn't that difficult and when you know what you're doing it can even be fun.
Perhaps Africa should pivot and not only produce green energy and export it to other continents but also produce food through vertical farming using solar power/green energy. I really think vertical farming is the way to go, because you can control the environment; amount of water you use, how much & the type of light the plants get, control bugs & insect without chemicals, re-use the same water, automation, local product VS importing from thousands of miles away etc.

The one that goes through Malacca?
Ya'll are doing great! I study agricultural technology and policy in California -- what you have showcased is certainly the future.
Hello friends, I'm a farmer from Indonesia. Greetings from me. Good luck, always healthy and prosperous, for all of us. and I hope that Indonesian farmers are getting more advanced, like in your country, the tools are sophisticated, and modern. I hope we can be friends, exchange knowledge and knowledge even through youtube and this virtual world amen 🙏🤝🤝
They forget that what makes food really nutritious is that it's grown on soil. Fish that has lived in sea etc.
Look up topsoil depletion. Agriculture is destroying the planets most nutritious soil.
Lets put all this tech together, and come up with a video on robotic agriculture without a comment section, where people out their own ignorance.
Some of these comments come all the way back from 2008. In spirit, at least.
Dated.
Also, I fully support full automation of agriculture. Weather or not predictions on human population are accurate.
Notice, nothing is being said about curbing human population, particularly in third world regions, where people are having enough kids to field their own softball team, for some reason.
Exactly. The way I see it, is if you don't want to be replaced by a robot, you have to be the one that designs the robot. I fully intend on advancing this technological revolution, instead of being left behind with the old farms.
I'm so happy I discovered your channel. I literally stayed up until daylight binge watching your videos. I never do this. 👌

I can’t say more on how I enjoy this channel. Absolutely the best
We could build huge underground vertical farm facilities to feed the growing population. You use less space because there's only so much farmland.
Extremely well researched and presented video man. You've entered my list of high quality information sources. thanks for the good work :)
Super Cool! I am taking a class on the US food system. This is very fitting, thank you.
You guys make great content! I'm so glad to see your viewership has increased in the last year or so. Well deserved. And keep up the great work!!!!!!
This channel is underrated
Such videous should be emitted on the news!
The future of farming is exactly the opposite of what that video is pretending.
How so?
By addressing the real issue that "conventional factory farming" needs to evolve to regenerate soil and carbon capture without compromising or even improving yield. This includes diverse ground covers year round and technology monitoring, even use of intensive stock grazing and rotation in pastures, I could talk for hours and am putting together a podcast on the subject
Suggest you look at one of the many presentations on soil regeneration. Christine Jones is widely cited. Good luck
As a farmer in California, I can assure the creator of this film that I can produce four times the production of vegetables on one square foot of ground than a hydroponic warehouse farm can under artificial light. I agree it's an interesting idea, but it doesn't come close to the production or cost efficiency U.S. Farmers produce vegetables for on one acre of land.
On the other hand, as Amazon continues to decimate the 1980's economic model of Brick & Mortar stores leaving vacant malls all around US cities, maybe these facilities can be used for something productive again like growing food. It would just need to make economic sense for private industry to rehab a mall into a indoor vegetable growing facility and turn a profit.
Lastly, we do not need to double production to feed the world. The world needs to stop making more people. Their's already a tremendous amount of wasted crop left in fields that the U.S. public deems unusable due to a slight blemish, whereas in foreign countries they would be happy to have that same food product.
Not to mention that the majority of crops grown today isn't for human consumption anyway.
great video
You did forget one point, and one that could be applied right now and with a minimum budget from the states: EDUCATION: Educate people not to waste food (in US 40% of food is wasted), educate people not to eat meet every day, educate people to consume local food, educate people to grow some of their own foodµ, etc..
What about the nutrients? You neglected to mention whether those different methods of farming yield plants with the same or good levels of nutrients as regular farming. Nutrient rich foods have been declining in recent years. People seem to forget the importance.
People should really take a look at the micro-nutrient content decline in our food since the green revolution. And it's narrow minded to ignore the capability of healthy soil to sequester carbon in reversing climate change. Take a look at www.4p1000.org
@@TszyanChan yes, what need to be changed isnt technology as much as science and understanding
seems like big agriculture isnt even up to date with recent research about the importance of soil health and organic matter on crop yield
why?
because big agriculture products sellers, cant sell you a healthy soil
is the same issue with big pharma vs healthy life-style
healthy agriculture isnt profiteable when there are no quality control or monitoring of our food's health and mineral content
Its even worse tho
they have interest in selling more sync fertilizers and chemicals, so healthy soils isnt in their best interests
there are many evidences that sync fertilizers and chemicals destroy soil texture and reduce organic matters
Bright future for agriculture
Nice work dude! =D
Öööö Bernie is such an un-radical centrist, only the US is so toxically right wing neoliberal that he seems far left
+Spicy Spud Or maybe because the U.S doesnt want to go down the path of Venezuela, Brazil, and any other country that was desperate enough to implement Socialism. Bernie is just like those politicians. The worst part is that immigrants who ESCAPE these socialist hell holes comes to America and votes for the same people they flee from.
troll alert on ur reply section.
Blessings and anointing of Israel, always new every day, praise God.
Great video. Being a part of the 2% of farmers in the US I am excited to see these innovations implemented.
Agricultural water project in Ecuador, going through the serious earthquake in 2016, these Glass-Fused-to-Steel tanks are safe and sound. Center Enamel is the first GFS Bolted tanks manufacturer in Asia
How about a video on the continuously growing infrastructure of the internet. It should be fitting for your channel.
Great idea.
The Daily Conversation a video about the development and future of language might be interesting. You should look up the Waverley labs pilot. Eventually we might have chips in our brain translating other languages for us.
We use the DJI Agras & Mavic Enterprise drones on our farm & the accuracy & data they provide is extremely beneficial. Using them for the targeted application of organic supplements in a 60 acre field is incredibly cost effective. Great video! High quality & information packed.
We embrace all this technology and innovation, allow GMOs, yet our children are among the sickest in any developed country in the world. Sicknesses range from all kinds of autoimmune disorders to all levels of neurological disorders. By 2032 1 out of 2 children born will be diagnosed with Autism. We also have the highest SIDS rates and the craziest, out of control, vaccination schedule.
Ya think we might be doing something wrong? 🤔
Nah, just keep eating your soylent green hun, you'll be fine. The good people of Monsatan care about you and your families health. Bayer is right there too with LIFE SAVING vaccines (with only slight amounts of heavy metals) to save you from the Apocalypse that is Measles. If you don't get vaxxed we'll all die!
A comparison of arguments for and against genetic Modifaction of animals would be interesting, as well as the question as to whether animals are happy.
Think about how much land we can reclaim if we embrace vertical farms. Make them massive national parks
or super mega walmarts
America is a superpower because it's always been an agricultural powerhouse. The other countries which have the potential to match America's ability to produce massive amount of food grains, vegetables and fruits are Russia, China, Australia, Canada, Africa (the whole continent combined)and to a certain extent India if they let go of subsistence and primitive form of farming.
Could you do a video on the future of language? Translation technology like pilot from Waverley labs could potentially make it so we can understand everyone
Good idea!
Becoming a agriculture would be a golden opportunity in future.
This is sick
since some month's I have watched all of your videos and they are all great man
again a perfect video with amazing information and pictures
That's really nice to hear! It's all for people like you, boss man ;)
Thanks for a video,I hope those future technology will be affordable to our farmers here in Africa.
Could you make a video on deforestation and reforestation initiatives?
The billions-of-years-of-R&D that nature has produced is being overlooked in this clip. Fairly speaking, not many people are aware of so many symbiotic relationships and unique adaptations in nature that can be leveraged for much greater production while potentiating massive energy efficiencies (I mean, are we taking the time to learn just how amazingly efficient and integrated a wild ecosystem is?). Permaculture is a very effective means of organic food production, but it requires the relinquishment of the de facto monopoly of big agriculture, a personal responsibility for own and community food availability and much more knowledge. This does not mean a low-tech approach at all. Please check it out and help spread the word
I can't wait to see farming On skyscrapers.
It is increasing in popularity, like in New york
I live in rural Ohio, I have never seen a skyscraper in real life. But they look beautiful in pictures.
Imagine whole skyscrapers dedicated to only producing plants.
wow that would be awesome little or not so little vertical forest :)
your gAY
We people are just amazing. We have a 101 IQ. Inventing some machines of our future in farmers. And I'm proud that my father is farmer. ❤️❤️❤️
Do one on the future of immortality and singularity.
LOL!!! Wat up bruh!!!
Yeah!
Thank you for this video. VERY INFORMATIVE A+ woooo
Just happily subscribed. Incredible quality, lures me always. :D
Very thorough analysis of new tech. Excellent video.
Ah man this was necessarily uplifting :)...
Although, my biggest concern over GMOs is the economic impact. Only one maybe two companies control all GMO seeds. I don't know about you,but I don't want the future of the human race dependent on the ethics of a company that has a monopoly.
Dont bet your life on Monsatan, and you BETTER not bet you health on this carcinogenic poisonous filth they call food.
Please taught us in many countries too!
No mention of organic farming, why? Organic farming provides the best food ever, good jobs and it is very Eco friendly. What more do you want?
While organic food is healthier. Organic farming requires more land, labor, and time than intensive farming. That is the reason why organic food is more expensive. That being said organic farming cannot feed the world. The amount of arable land that would be needed to feed the world organic food would have the forests plowed under for farms and also livestock pastures to collect the manure needed to fertilize the crops (since you can't use chemical ferts).
It can feed the world. For example China's population was 550 million in 1950 all sustained by organic farming. Old methods and outdated techniques fed that many people. Surely new methods of soil and land management using the latest technology and knowledge from the fields of ecology, gentics and so on can feed the 1.4 billion in China now?
JimmyG Yours first sentence is the answer.Organic food is healthier, more nutritious, so you don’t need a large amount.Right now we don’t have food shortage, we have money shortage to by all that food that gets wasted.Intense labor? Let’s think about automatization ,small farms an biodiversity instead large monoculture farms.Fertilizers-food waste (vegetable scraps) composting with worms- best org.fert.If you stop seeing food as money it’s much easier to go organic
Organic vertical farming...recycle watering...
I found this information very useful for farmers and i tried to make an Albanian translation. I added Albanian subtitles in order to share to Albanian farmers. I don't know why it is not shown yet ?
Could you address the issue of depleting phosphorus reserves and its unsustainable open loop cycle?
It is a necessary macronutrient for all life, which means it is a necessary part of agriculture. Our current agricultural system and fertilisation methods doesn't manage it sustainably and a shortage is looming.
Tom Walsh we'll be mining it at sea and sea water if it runs out, and bird poo dont forget that
Thank you. This was very informative. I shall do som research on these areas.
Peace
Did u give up on politics? Your videos have returned and improved sinced
PupeEETR
Yes, I'm so glad he stopped talking about politics. I disagree with those political videos CONSTANTLY, and I was getting close to un-subbing
Isaac Detherage I did unsub. I love learning about the latest technological and scientific breakthroughs but please spare us the unhealthy dose of neoliberal politics. This video is political by omission, as it doesn't address the problem of gmo ownership of certain crops. The owners of these new crops are ruthless and demand third world countries pay up to use them or else starve
You gotta weigh in politics somewhere to make a change..
This video was really well done👍👍👍💯
Stop making farmers lose their jobs like if u agree
With a growing population and ever increasing methods for getting higher yield out of smaller areas, the ones that are losing jobs as opposed to creating more aren't doing it right.
What is a more compelling argument: "Stop making farmers lose their jobs and make less food" or "stop the 9.1 million that die each year from starvation by making more food with the help of robots" ?
The more food you produce, the more the population grows, and the more the population grows, the more food you have to produce to prevent starvation.
Well researched, clearly presented, and quite informative. Thanks Bryce. Looking forward to your next ep. If you haven't tackled it already- I think the private sector launch market might be interesting. Launch costs are falling quite quickly(especially among the small launchers like Vector, Rocketlab, and ArcaSpace) and those reductions will change the way we use orbital and outer space in so many ways
Thanks, Christopher. Good suggestion. I'll add it to the list.
Forget about producing more. We gotta worry about not wasting!
The world evolved in the wrong direction. That´s the real problem.
Great video. Being a part of the 2% of farmers in the US I am excited to see these innovations implemented. e-web.top
That's a silly statement....
Sliding scale infrastructure for less waste and tools for permaculture food forests would be incredible.
If you produce cocoa beans in England instead of Zimbabwe... Zimbabwe will lose a great source of income through exports.... There are many downsides
the world would benefit from the population of zimbabwe going extinct
10 billion people on the planet comin up, zimbabwe aint the only country on the choppin block. we need to get back down to around 50 million max, so we got a long way to go. gonna start with half of africa, most of the middle east, india and china. after that its onto the americas, startin south and goin all the way north. MAKE EUROPE GREAT AGAIN
There's a great amount of research and effort put in this video. It's very informative and entertaining. Thank you for doing this. Im look forward to more of your videos.
go vegan !!!
If we only eat what we planted, there is enough food for everyone, but most of the time we trade most of our harvest to what we called money to buy things we don't really need
Yet, the Amish still won't drive cars.
Most of them die during childbirth so they don't have to worry about nourishing a huge society, they just have to worry about everything else.
They are an ode to the fear of changing.
Just discovered this channel. Very good content! Keep up the good work!
All is great, except for that insects thing, I don't even want to think about it
Ahmad Abdallah You already eat honey which is technically regurgitated food for bee larvas...
PuzzleMessage you're right. I know that some of the stuff we are eating is like this, but comon look at them can you put them in your mouth voluntarily. to be fair I'm the kind of person that get disgusted from a lot of things may be it's just me
Ahmad Abdallah Actually i would eat crickets if you deep fried them :) Anything's good when deepfried. Also, think of escargots, they look gross but they are delicious.
PuzzleMessage I don't know maybe I'll have to try, but I need to be a little high to allow myself to try eating this :D
one of the best scenarios to feed the population in 2050 is reducing meat consumption which is one of the biggest environmental and agricultural issues. we have to change our consumption behaviors and we stop wasting food by giving it to animals when human beings are dieing Because of starvation in Africa. the situation is really serious and we have to prepare ourselves for the future.
software is eating farming
the only way to feed the world population is to have more people grow their own food, back in WW2 era, alot of families did have their own little plot of food, had chickens, and in towns and cities especially in brittian took their food waste to a local farmer who owned pigs and fed it to them, instead of throwing it in the trash that would end up in the dump. Even if we turn away from our wasteful way of society we would not have alot of the problems we have today. More is not always better.
Your videos are all interesting. Please do mega projects in Myanmar.
I had to watch this for my school
9/2/21
those poor fish :(
Do you provide the service to Cambodia?
Not any effort to move towards permaculture of befriending nature I see... Grim future
Who ever heard of diverse polycultures of plant guilds integrated with animals to recycle wastes and manage pests and weeds? It's not like that's how nature works or anything like that. Besides, who wants to produce more food with less input and an increase in land fertility over time, right? In all seriousness you can throw all the technology and robotics at the problem, but if we're still running acres upon acres of single crop monocultures with chemical fertilizers and poisons, we'll keep degrading our arable land and killing our ecosystems.
Cows are part of the solution to climate change : )
I recommend reading this book or searching the authors videos.
Sacred Cow: The Case for (Better) Meat: Why Well-Raised Meat Is Good for You and Good for the Planet.

texte complet de la vidéo : Over the next two decades, a technological wave will revolutionize the efficiency of farms all over the world. It can’t come soon enough. By the year 2050 the human population will be nearly 10 million which means we’ll need to have doubled the amount of food we now produce.
This is an examination of the agricultural innovations coming down the pipeline that will help get us there. The industry has undergone major developments over the last century. 100 years ago, farming looked like this. Today, it looks like this. And tomorrow, it will look something like this. These changes have allowed many of us to do other things with our lives. In 1900, 10.9 million agricultural workers produced the food for 76 million people. Today, just 6.5 million workers feed 321.4 million Americans.
Two factors were most responsible for this surge in productivity: engines and the widespread availability of electricity.
Today, the innovations on our immediate horizon include autonomous pickers UK researchers have already created one that gathers strawberries twice as fast as humans, the challenge will be creating robotic pickers that can switch between all kinds of corps;
Robots or drones that can precisely remove weeds or shoot them with a targeted spread of pesticide, using 90% less chemicals than a conventional blanket sprayer.
For the organic farmer, they could zap the weeds with a laser instead. This could have a big impact, the UN estimates that each year, between 20 and 40% of global crop yields are destroyed by pests and disease. Tiny sensors and cameras will monitor crop growth and alert farmers on their smartphones if there’s a problem, or when it’s the best time to harvest; The BoniRob can take a soil sample, liquidize it, then analyze its pH and phosphorous levels-all in real time.
As a proof-of-concept for all this autonomous farming technology, researchers at Harper Adams in the UK plan to grow and harvest an entire hectare of Barley without humans ever entering the field. Companies like Agribotix have already commercialized software that analyzes drone-captured infrared images to spot unhealthy vegetation. Then, like a real-life game of “Sim-Farmer,” the grower is alerted on their device when a troubled area is identified. Machine learning will regularly improve the system’s ability to differentiate between varieties of crops and the weeds that threaten them.
Not to be left out, a company called Mavrx contracts 100 pilots to fly light-aircraft that are outfitted with multispectral camera on data-gathering missions over large farms throughout the country; For an even wider view, Planet Labs operates a fleet of CubeSats that take weekly images of entire farms from space to help monitor crops; Other companies are creating analytics software to act as farm-management systems, allowing growers of all sizes to deal with this new tsunami of data; And The Farmer’s Business Network combines data from many farms into one giant pool to give its members the power of macro-level insights that have traditionally only been available to corporate mega-farms;
Vertical farms are essentially warehouses with stacks of hydroponic systems to grow leafy greens. They’re sprouting up in cities all over the world where fresh produce - and land - is scarce. The key obstacle here is the cost of energy, and the toll using a lot of it takes on the environment. The upside is that artificial lights and climate-controlled buildings allow crops to grow day and night, year-round, producing a significantly higher yield per square foot than an outdoor farm. For now, though, only expensive, leafy greens like lettuce - or herbs like basil - have proven profitable in the vertical system. And the jury is definitely still out on whether this is truly an environmentally - friendly technique One possible solution is to use blue and red light wavelengths to optimize photosynthesis and turbo-boost growth-a technique tested by researchers at project Growing Underground, an experimental farm operating in old World War II bomb shelters underneath London; Another advancement in indoor farming is the Open Agriculture Initiative, which aims to create a “catalogue of climates” so temperature and humidity can be set to re-create the perfect conditions for growing crops that would normally come from all over the world, locally instead. This is an attempt to tackle the “food miles” issue. When produce is s shipped around the world it creates unnecessary CO2 emissions.
Just look at a where a few of the items you eat today were cultivated to understand how big of a problem this is.
The millions of people entering the middle class every year in developing countries are demanding tens of millions of pounds of additional meat. These ideas aim to get the most from every animal.
Who would’ve thought Fitbits could be for livestock too? Cows are being fitted with smart collar that monitor if they’re sick or, if they’re moving around more, which is a sign of fertility; Researchers at Scotland’s Rural College are analysing cow breath. Exhaled ketones and sulfides reveal potential problems with an animal’s diet; thermal imaging cameras spot inflamed udders to provide earlier treatment to combat a bacterial infection known as mastitis, one of the costliest setbacks in the dairy industry; 3-D cameras that quickly measure the weight and muscle mass of cattle, so they’re sold at their beefiest.
Companies have even begun positioning microphones above pig pens to detect coughs, giving sick animals the treatment, they need a full 12 days earlier than before. Less antibiotics are used if fewer animals become ill for shorter lengths of time.
And a system of just three cameras, developed by researchers in Belgium, tracks the movements of thousands of chickens to analyze their behaviour and spot over 90% of possible problems.
no no no im want to drive tractor not a robot doing that
We will need more food and foot technology innovation.‼as food security is a must.
Oh god I hope not. The future of our culture, relationships, and social well-being desperately needs a revisionist of our technological vector! I guess it depends on your definition of living!
We are living in amazing time that technology control everything.
Everything have both good and bad side.
Every migrant worker's nightmare
I'm in love with farming
Climate change will significantly enhance the ability of previously harsh environments to grow more food than ever before. The future is bright
We cam save this planet if we continue to create beautiful technology that focuses on our food supply, making it healthier to eat is key!
Synthetic meat ? ... GMO's ?... this is getting way to scary .
Very great and interesting .
