      They are ahead of you. Been doing it. For the most part they don’t need to because of reliable benign weather. But they use plastic sheeting a lot. Mostly as a cover over all but the plants that they are growing. So in other words, it is a weed prevention method. And they have long ago adopted drip irrigation to prove precious water only to where they need it; namely the roots.

Furthermore you know that the reason it isn’t done in California, despite the economic benefits, is because Californians have an aversion to easy steps that would make them more wealthy.

    I'm from El ejido, the epicenter of greenhousing in Almería. It all looks very sustainable but it is actually not that fantastic. I was raised with no trees around, just plastic and concrete. Furthermore, this system of agriculture depends mainly on external agricultural products, phosphorus and nitrogen for example. Sustainable System shouldnt just be good for bígaros economías but also be good for the surrounding population. It all looks good from for enough.

    So lifelong commercial horticulturalist here from SW UK, where it rains, plastic is cheap but labour expensive. We have traded greenhouses for housing estates, plastic for fleece and family labour for mechanised harvesting with expensive machines and a seasonal immigrant workforce. Its impossible to turn back the clock, which is of course still ticking. As someone with just 3000 sq ft under polytunnel cultivation I can vouch for the insanity of the commercial "race to the bottom"

    Basque guy (northern Spain) here. The various agriculturally rich regions of Southern Spain yield some SERIOUSLY GOOD crops. Their quality and taste is so freaking good. Spanish cuisine is known for its world-class raw products, and southern Spanish fruits and veggies (including the ones from Almería, of course) are no exception. The north also produces some very high quality fruits and veggies to some extent, but in terms of quantity without compromising quality, southern Spain (and especially a region like Almería) is THE vegetable garden of Europe.
    Also, I am currently studying in Sweden, and it's so cool to see that many fruits and veggies come from Spain. It feels a bit more like home :)

    Great video as always!! I live in Murcia, the nearest and second biggest agricultural province. Agricultural change has been absurd in the last 50-60 years. From growing without water (olives, almonds and some wheat), to large scale irrigation. It is the leading factor in the economy around the area, no doubt.
    Two things i wanted to write about: The "Huerta de Murcia" and the "Campo de Cartagena" situations.
    1. "Huerta de Murcia" is an historical area around our provincial capital. This area is really fertile because of the river Segura (its freshwater and deposits). It has been a reliable breadbasket before the technological boom. But, long story short, industry and abusive management has made the river dirty, contaminated and obsolete. Many dikes and earthworks are literally killing the river and its delta (which is important). They exploited it too much.
    2. "Campo de Cartagena" is a geographical plain around the significant city of Cartagena and the Mar Menor (a very famous lagoon). It has seen the biggest expansion of agricultural output almost at par with what you see in the video. Mainly because of the "Trasvase Tajo-Segura", bringing surplus water from a far away river. Food exports are the backbone of the economy by a long shot. But again, long story short, really bad local management of waste and irresponsable use of fertilizers have destroyed the environment. In fact, the Mar Menor lagoon, one of the best turistic places in all the Levant, is now destroyed beyond repair. When it rained, all chemicals ended up at the lagoon and local governments were dumping all waste (im not kidding) into it aswell.
    The thing to learn is to not overdo it. Now regulations make it imposible for farmers to compete, because of tight laws. Now fertilizer use is almost prohibited and water is as scarce as ever (some places had to ration water to shower, and limited the maximum allowance of water per person).
    We had the perfect place and resources. Now not only farmers, but those who lived from tourism and enjoyed the local life, its all gone. Poverty and emigration is the bread and butter.
    Thank you. Muchas gracias y un saludo a todos!!!

    If we have to replace the plastic every 3-4 years won't it be better to build glass itself in the long run ?

    • @agme8045
      @agme8045 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

      I get what you are saying, but if we go by the price estimate the video gave of $40 per sq meter for plastic and over $300 for glass, that means that it would take decades for the price of glass to be justified (at least 30 years or so, of changing the plastic sheets every few years). And in 30 years the farmer will be close to retirement if not retired already, so why would they get into so much debt for no apparent benefit (for them I mean, they get no benefit for swapping into glass). The ‘swap’ will only happen if it’s enforced by the government, or if glass becomes super cheap (or plastic super expensive)

    Gas is not the only way to heat greenhouses in temperate climates, geothermal is another way of heating them. In the Netherlands the trade association currently claims 12% of their energy use comes from renewable sources and they claim to be committed to climate neutral production in 2040. In good news for the Dutch greenhouse industry they are well located to make use of geothermal energy.

      Indeed. It would also seem like a good idea to use animal farm manure to generate methane to be used as fuel for greenhouses. And there are also options for connecting waste from fish farms for fertilizer.
      It would be more useful to compare the various energy consumption levels (calories) rather than financial or monetary measures.

Over the years you won't believe how much waste plastic they've tried to bury.... it never degrades! It all gets washed into the sea every time the rainy season hits.

I really like your animation style, its beatuful how you use it to illustrate over pictures. Simulating something as abstract as light with one photon or showing a scenario where all light reflects the same misses out on representing the awesome mechanism that makes these farms possible. I'll watch the end of the video now

    You´re completely wrong in the last part of the Video. First, population is declining literally *everywhere* on the globe except for Africa. Second, we already produce enough food to sustain the entire planet more than once. It´s *not* a production issue, it´s a distribution issue and more production will not fix that at all. It will just further dump down prices.

    "Nowadays large Dutch glass greenhouses use so much gas that they sell the excess electricity back to the power grid." It was at this moment I realized that the narrator didn't know or care what he was saying. The first red flag was the statement that the Almería greenhouses produce 30 times what a field of the same Hectares produces.

    I`m actually from Almería city and i have to say you did a great job in this video, great an accurate information of the good and bad sides of the greenhouse industry here. I´m gratefull that you even mentioned the grape production at the north of the plastic sea that help found it (they where the principal export by boat to America for many decades before they even start). My father and grandfather are from this area and I remember as a child go to the anual harvest, but ironically the new greenhouse industry ultimately caused the grape production to die, so, at the end this area lost a lot of its population (another problem in Spain, the very low population density in rural areas).
    The other thing that you mentioned at the end, the poor work conditions and low salary that suffer people from the noth and center parts of Africa that migrates here is a big thing that almost nobody talk about. Another irony is that this region of Almería (and Spain) have a big concentration of people aligned with far right parties and even racist atitudes at the same time that the wealth created along the past 30 years would be imposible whitout them, there are people getting rich at this vulnerable people's expense. This is not a issue only here, along all Andalucia (all south os Spain) there are fields that unfortunally works in the same way, for example, the strawberry greenhouses in Huelva, the olive in the center part of Andalucía, the tropical crops that grows a little bit more to the east from the plastic sea.
