    Mr. Allen could start a school...and spread this to every "big and small" city....we'd start to get back to our roots...this guy IS the future...and others like him.

    I am going to visit this guy. I want to know how he started and how I can emulate his work. This guy is a hero in the truest sense of the word. A mentor for us all.

    I was explaining what I'm hoping to do in the near future and was directed to this video. I love that others have made the same journey I'm working towards.

    Came across this video via one of my assignments for class. Love the video and knowledge and information I gained from this video. Fantastic. And that background music throughout the video. Nothing could of brought everything together better than the music.

      Excellent Video! Sorry for the intrusion, I would appreciate your opinion. Have you ever tried - Patlarny Gardening Expert Principle (Sure I saw it on Google)? It is a good exclusive product for learning how to expand your produce with the clever art of aquaponics without the normal expense. Ive heard some amazing things about it and my cousin finally got amazing success with it.

      There are several components to the best aquaponics . One place I discovered that succeeds in merging these is the Fast Track Grower (google it if you're interested) without a doubt the best plan i've heard of. look at the extraordinary information .

  • @Sman3319

    This is an excellent example of how to get rid of food stamps and become self sufficient I have my own idea on how to incorporate this. For places that don't have great growing conditions outdoors or in urban city area's one is grow indoors with lighting you can still cultivate fish indoors. Creative thinking is what will make things possible. Get a small bit of land get a variety of animals you want to have. Remember this is a community thing yes you the individual can do this for your self but instead sharing vandalism sharing on the costs the work etc. ... will make these become the way of the future.

    Ummm...What? There's enough farm land in the U.S. to feed the entire world organic food for pennies a day. That is, if the government would stop inflating food prices and subsidizing failing farmers and monsanto frankenfood. FYI: machine equipment = low prices.

    The bottom line is if this style of production was efficient, everyone would be doing it. So why aren't they? Because it costs 10x more.

    • @mariavelikonja3317
      @mariavelikonja3317 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Actually it doesnt, when you factor in costs of transportation Right now the biggest barriers are zoning laws, and lack of tax incentives for urban agriculture.

    cont..that means every dollar paid to the rice grower in order its profitable for him to grow and export....the american tax payer gives him 78cents.and thats usually the poorest of americans,because big business have "accountants" and bankers have "accountants"

  • @jonson11122
    @jonson11122 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    You're wrong. Conventional agriculture is more expensive since you need to buy special seeds, pesticide, herbicide, fertilizer... so degrading the soil and destroying biodiversity. Causing land grabbing and creating social problems. Depending on oil price which is going up. Depending on profits of corporations. At the end is more expensive. More and more people and governments are doing permaculture. They want food sovereignty. Land is the best employer. People want to work.

  • @jonson11122
    @jonson11122 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    That was not nice calling me an idiot. I am enthusiast for the technology and I believe in robots doing most of the job, but I am against using technology in destructive manner which conventional agriculture is. Calling me a marxist proves that you're driven by ideology and not by reason. Economy should be driven by reason since it's taught in universities, but greed (which has nothing to do with the reason) takes place instead.

    • @evelynzlon9492
      @evelynzlon9492 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      You are wrong. Will Allen is the smartest black man in America. To illustrate why, as a child I attended a day care with a largely black student population and a white suburban Director. One time the Director made us kids participate in a lengthy outdoor sporting event in 100 degree heat without providing any water before, during, or after the activity. A day or 2 later, one of my white male peers caught her drift and snatched my juice away at lunchtime. I was an easy target because I wasn't the type to kick his a** on the spot. Which also correlates with my high scholastic aptitude, which racism also flushed down the drain. No pun intended. These are of course the underpinnings of Third Reich culture, which has really taken hold across America. In New York City, the infant death rate for black mothers is suspiciously 8x the rate for white women. And a white nurse stationed in a New York City hospital durung the covid-19 pandemic also attested on TH-cam that the medical staff was flat-out murdering black and Latino patients. And having fun with it.
      So you see, Allen's mission is all-important. Blacks own hardly any farmland in America, so it's crucial to make the most of what we have. If I were a parent, I would feel comfortable sending my Gates Millennium Scholar teen to a university in the Milwaukee area. I would trust that their college experience would be tranquil and uneventful.

    • @evelynzlon9492
      @evelynzlon9492 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      I'm not making this stuff up. The nurse who testified about covid-19 as a masquerade for genocide was Nicole Sirotek. Latinos are now extensively targeted for slavery and genocide since a major US corporation built a factory in Mexico. The locals accused them of stealing their fresh water supply. That's America's way of telling them to drop dead.

    • @evelynzlon9492
      @evelynzlon9492 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The legal rights of colored peoples are also irrelevant. Water is a very fundamental survival necessity. If this resource is threatened, it may result in all manner of insidious and ubiquitous ramifications. These pitfalls can run circles around your legal rights. Instead every legal loophole you've never heard of can be used to supplement and bolster these illegal methods of oppression. For example, the enslavement of convicted prisoners is still Constitutionally legal by the 13th Amendment. So Americans will frame people of color for felonies. Et cetera.

    • @evelynzlon9492
      @evelynzlon9492 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      An expedient panacea solution to this suffering is to deploy a seven-nation army to England. Most especially to assign some white soldiers to pummel Kate Middleton's lights out while simultaneously opening her legs to some unattractive, low-caste black guys. But that's easier said than done so in the interim, Allen's ideas are spot-on.

  • @sanitydotorg
    @sanitydotorg 11 ปีที่แล้ว

    "People want to work."
    No they don't. They want money. If they could get it without working they would, which is why there are 250 million people in the US on some form of welfare. The long term trend of economics is to trend toward 100% unemployment (i.e. 100% leisure).
