As climate change worsens and the global population rises, we risk food shortages worldwide. Are organic farming and hydroponics the key to farming's future?
SUBSCRIBE: goo.gl/kdDpXu
Unpredictable weather patterns are forcing farmers to adopt new methods to maintain a viable business while making food production as efficient as possible.
A small farm in south Dakota has turned to organic farming and invested in their dirt while others have taken climate out of the equation and invested in hydroponics, growing vegetables in large warehouses.
In the last of our What Happens Next, we explore the future of food through farming.

@Sweet James Maybe in your part of the world its ok. But here in my place (South East Asia), we are already suffering from negative impacts. Billions of dollars lost during typhoons every year, food shortage, etc. Maybe its better if you get out of your high horse and see the world as a whole rather than your small safe space bubble. I'm also a farmer for 17 years (Pechay, Lettuce, Potatoes, Strawberries, and Roses). I have already adapted to Vertical farming. Gave me 5-8 times more output.

@Sweet James Well, you may have your reasons. I understand how much the wolrd sucks, there are full of liars etc.. But to me I don't think buying wrong products can hurt me in any form, unless they are poisonous. Even if they are real liars, I've still got inspired. Maybe I'll try to be a better person myself, it doesn't hurt. The reason why the world sucks is because of everyone of us (not everyone but me). While I can't change others' way of life, I'm still gratful to see positive ideas that makes me want to change.

It's noted that the farmers will feel the effects of climate change long before we do. However, WE consumers have the future of mankind. We have to redraw the food system, especially in the developed west, and the Standard American Diet that we have established as the marker for middle-class consumption. If the next Billion people born (and over 95% of them will be born in Africa and Asia) were to eat like Americans, our species is dead. We need to become more plant-based like the developing world, not the other way around!

I just came here because I would like to say that while they raised some important issues in this video, the solutions they portrayed are not at all solutions. I'm a student of Agroecology in university so I can say with some property that organic farming as it was portrayed here does not at all changes how we produce and distribute food, it's only difference from conventional agriculture is that it ceases to use chemicals. This is a problem, as is the very system of food production that it keeps that must be replaced in order for meaning change to happen. We need a much more deep and complex change. A system change. Organic farming is not that! It still has a high degree of machinery use (and so fossil fuel), water usage and outside input (for example the manure he talks about in the video, where is this coming from? Organic agriculture does not adress that) usage. It doesn't get better with hydroponics. So no, this is NOT the future of farming, because if it is, funnily, it will not be on longer future. As those two kinds of farming portrayed do not address the reasons why we are in the situation of climate change in the first place and so it cannot sustain life in the planet on a long-term. So we actually need a cultural and spiritual change, a fundamental change in the way humanity understands itself and see its place in this world and our interactions with it. To begin with, I recommend a read on Permaculture.

Decomposing/oxidizing cow manure is probably the largest greenhouse gas contributor world wide... I live in a country that also uses it on every field but the best way to use it will be always mixed up in a ratio with other decomposing matter like 30% leafs,fruits,peals etc 30% cow manure 30% recycle paper,cardboard,wood chips, sticks etc in that way the soil will be way more balance in terms of holding moisture and nutrition. Also too much cow manure can essentially "burn" your crops.

Nobody If you take into account the area of each row and number of levels, it's quite large how much food you can produce is such a small space of land by stacking on top of each other. For example, if you can grow an acre of land and produce 10,000 pounds of food every year why can't you take an acre of land, stack 30-40 levels with hundreds of rows and produce 40,000 - 60,000 pounds per year?

05:13 "That's because the human race will consume more food in the next 50 years than it has in the past 10,000 years combined." This is admittedly terrifying, but it signifies what a unique point in history we occupy. We must understand all that history has taught us, but all the rules have changed. We are at the nexus of many powerful forces, including technology, overreliance on technology, a globalization via the Internet wherein the younger generation has more in common with people their age in faraway countries than they do with their parents; a globalization that makes corporations more powerful than countries. We have the ability to solve things that never before could be solved, and the ability to end our civilization with our sheer population of mindless consumer units voting for mindless populist governments. The human race hasn't faced extinction in a long time. Let's hope we find our survival instinct and awaken to our challenge.

The organic farmers that we saw in the beginning and at the end are what the best conventional farmers are doing today. Constant monitoring of the soil’s nutrients and organic matter in essential to sustainable farming. On our conventional farm since we switched to a no till operation 15 years ago we have noticed big difference in our organic matter and the soil’s ability to hold moisture has increased. We seed wheat, barley, canola, and peas in a four year rotation to help manage disease, weeds and insects so that we are not 100% reliant on pesticides. This also reduces our input costs. What I’m trying to say is that you don’t have to farm organically and drive food prices up at the consumer level to farm sustainability and ethically.

05:35 "And we've got to remember that overlying it all is the consumer, and the consumer is king and queen. And they ultimately will decide what they're going to eat, and therefore, what the future of agriculture is going to look like." It was a great profile on the responsibility of farmers, but they have none greater than to follow the demands of the consumer. We don't get to a sustainable, plant-based agriculture because farmers recognize the need and stop feeding all the plants to animals -- we consumers have to send that message to the marketplace, and the farmers need to respond. And I DON'T mean respond by demanding more subsidies to maintain obsolete flesh industries! Farmers can save the world by following the plant-based shift and not resisting until we have no choice but to stop subsidizing unsustainable production. Every farmer who feels the tradition of passing on their ranch or hog farm is more important than following necessary trends isn't gifting their children at all.

02:43 "You look at the history of the spread of western civilization, it's in many regards, a story of people moving on after degrading the land. Individual droughts, or political events, or war with the neighbors; those kind of events are the kinds of things that will actually take down civilizations." Except now, the droughts are caused by 300 million people eating cows, which drink more water than they do, political events are indistinguishable from scientific truths, and war is a global prospect; nations that have oppress the have nots. The choices ahead are sumarized in the movies Mad Max: The Road Warrior, where society is in ruins, or The Hunger Games, where we have an ultra rich class lording over billions of poor. There's no "moving on" for agriculture anymore -- we have to adopt the plant-based future today, while we have sufficient food to end poverty and political ability to recognize humans of every race and animals of every species sharing the same fate. Nothing less than a social revolution will save us, and that means reshaping attitudes towards consumption and perpetual economic growth. "...a story of people moving on after degrading the land." This harkens to William F. Ruddiman's Early Anthropocene Hypothesis, where 10,000 years of animal agriculture has taken more carbon out of the earth than 350 years of fossil fuel combustion. Shaping plant-based food production and ending animal husbandry is our most powerful tool to optimize our land use, regrow forests and start pulling the carbon out of the atmosphere.

Organic farming is nice, it is the way my family farmed when I was a child. The problem with that is it takes a tremendous amount of physical labor, therefore, limiting production. I do not believe in climate change as something new the earth has and always will continue to change. You are right in stressing the need for increased production with world population projected to push 9 billion by 2050. The thing that bothers me most about increaseing production is the takeing out of production of our most productive soils through urbanizatoion, with absoluately no regard for future generations, all in the name of progress "greed".

Both farmers and ranchers work extremely hard to put food on "everyone's" tables! I was born a farmers daughter, and farming was what I was doing to make a living supporting two boys after my first, very unfaithful husband left! I ended up re-marrying , and my current husband of 27 years, is a 4th generation rancher. Because of my love of animals, I prefer ranching, but there are some moments when I miss certain aspects of farming. That being said, I saw the thumbnail for this video and only stopped to say very emphatically... "There is NO SUCH THING" as GLOBAL WARMING!!!!! We have all been "fed" this by the globalists around the world. They know what is really going on, and what has been happening, and the major event that is about to happen which is causing all of this crazy weather, that is beginning to increase and will continue to do so... is a planet system that is re-entering our solar system... which will then pass back out on its elliptical orbit, to never return for another 3,600 years!! These catastrophic events were recorded globally, in historical writings, around the time of the Biblical exodus, and was predicted in the Bible to come back at the end of days. Revelation in the Bible, calls this planet "Wormwood", and YES it is causing the planet to heat up because the gravitational pull on earths core and other planets in our solar system are effected by it! This by the way, was written about in newspapers and magazines since the 1940's and I have read several of them. But they stopped talking about it in the late 1970's because they didn't want the expendable people.... like us regular folks, to know what was about to happen. Ask yourself this: Why on earth in 2017 was there a record amount of ice build-up in Antarctica? The oceans are warming BENEATH the surface, not in our atmosphere "caused by man". And yes, ice sheets are melting due to this, but from under the surface where man cannot affect it!!! The globalists (Cabal, Illuminati, deep state, elite) .... basically the Rockefellers, Bilderbergers, royal family in England, and those 13 families who have worked diligently behind the scenes for the past thousands of years, want YOU to believe that YOU caused the earth to heat up, so they could quietly steal your money to "help global warming".... using billions of tax dollars to build D.U.M.B.S. under the earths surface... so when this planet reaches its closest point to earth, THEY can live comfortably underground in huge, cities! THEY know the coastlines of our continents will flood nearly 100 miles inland!! Which is why the CIA headquarters was relocated to Denver, Colorado! Why the Vatican closed up its VAST library and moved it to a "safe" location, and why so many major institutions have been moved to the central United States. Also ask yourself about these "seed vaults" which contain EVERY variety of seed a person could think of on earth, is being stored so carefully. THEY... want to be able to go back to normal, after you and I "John Q public" are dead ! THEY want and are looking forward to a population reduction... check out the Georgia guide stones!! --- Nobody knows who put them up, and talk about being politically incorrect and racist.... they announce in several languages that they want to reduce the earths population drastically!! Here is the good part! The Bible which is 100% accurate, tells US that these underground cities that these globalists have built, will NOT save them from Gods wrath that will be poured out on the earth (Wormwood/Planet X/Nibiru/ Zena)-Whatever you want to call it, causes! It describes a time when men will actually call out for the mountains to fall ON THEM, because they are in such terror! Those who know Christ, and trust in Him, the Bible is very clear that they will be removed from the earth prior to this last 7 year period! Know Christ... know peace!-----No Christ... NO peace!

Can anybody help me? I have this on-going argument with someone that if really "a vertical farming" would benefit us. He said it's just a waste profit. His look of future is kind of dumb for me you know. I want to believe that vertical farming is indeed one of the solution to the modern agriculture! But I'm quite having a trouble with the feasibility of this farming system... Hoping to find some answers here! If my explanation is quite not clear to you, feel free to ask with the reply.😀

5:20 I like how they just extrapolate that graph, as though it's a given that the human population will simply grow without bound forever. Same thing with climate change, nobody thinks about how we might just hit a plateau. The climate might become just humid and hot enough to provide huge crop yields for decades, but then never go any hotter (like in the Roman Climate Optimum)

@Vertical farming without sunlight: Many people underestimate the gigantic amount of energy the sun is providing. 1 m² of soil gets about 1000 (Germany) or 2000 (Arizona) kWh of solar irradiation per year. And even the most efficient LED only convert a fraction of the electricity into light. Okay, there are some options to increase efficiency, for instance not wasting electricity to produce green light, which the plants can't use. Nevertheless you would need extremely much electricity to grow nourishing food (calories!) for many people. My optimistic assumption: 1 GW permanent power (e.g. nuclear) could feed 100.000 people. A plant-based diet of course, no meat, no milk,... If such "food-factories" will play a role in the future, it won't be the supply of calories.

Cool! But also kind of annoying. Going organic is more profitable because people spend more for a less efficient crop?

They said organic soil holds water better, making it more resistant to the erratic effects of climate change. Isn't that efficiency? Besides, efficiency isn't always the answer; permaculture has many advantages over industrial row-cropping, which is the epitome of efficiently creating a monoculture that endangers our future, otherwise enriched with biodiversity. A monoculture of potatoes in Ireland set the stage for The Great Famine, an entire culture at the mercy of potato blight.

"The consumer is king....." and until we address that destructive conditioning nothing will change. King and consumer must be eliminated. Otherwise it's all just lip service with zero change.

I can not stress this hard enough, but the energy input into greenhouse is not sustainable by any measure. Green house only works for vegetables for one reason, they are high cost. If people are well educated and know that organic is the same as non-organic, the premium is gone there will be not economical drive. Farmers usually are not well educated and most of them do what is economical not what is the right thing to do. The public do what is advertised not what is right.
