11 AMAZING FARMS YOU HAVEN'T SEEN BEFORE

[@kevinm3751]

A friend of mine is a prepper and lives totally off grid and his garden is awesome! He took an old bank safe, buried it under his green house where he uses it to heat the green house and it is part of an indoor pond where he raises trout and filters the water that is then used to water the green house plants. It is the most successful green house I have ever seen!

The best way to make those things better is to eat less of them. However, it is important to eat something of these for our nutrition. So don't cut it out all together. If we ate less, we'd need to grow less, which should mean each animal gets more room, and possibly better conditions.

[@sovereignsoul]

This problem with this system of farming is that the plants are not robust and require constant watering and nutrients or they will die. Plants outside in soil do not need to be provided water or nutrients on a daily basis. With this in mind, once picked the factory farmed produce stores far more poorly than soil raised crops, lasting only half the time as their soil counterparts even when refrigerated. I suspect the factory farmed crops are not as nutritious either.

[@pranramsamooj8187]

Quite true on all points, in addition, there are increased start-up costs. However, there is a reduction in arable land worldwide and supply chain issues, especially in impoverished areas. In addition to digital agriculture, more emphasis is needed on training small-scale farmers how to maximize yields while reducing pesticide and herbicide usage. For example by employing more extension officers.

[@sovereignsoul]

@@pranramsamooj8187 The increased start up costs relate to monopolization of the food supply. The big warehouse operations reportedly cost several hundred million dollars to build. This system uses less nitrates and nutrients than soil farming, and with increased international regulation of farming emissions (including nitrates) this sort of industrial farming is poised to monopolize the food supply. Better to grow your organic produce than rely on the altruism of billionaire monopolists.

True. It really doesn't cost that much to grow your own and with companion planting and year round planting as well as the 3 yr rule you can actually grow almost all your food (if not all).

[@BrowncoatGofAZ]

I can definitely see a possible robustness issue and work needing to be done on nutrition. However, it’s not that simple. The water and nutrients part could be due to a number of features, but I think one part is that they’re trying to grow the plants as fast as possible. If they consume faster, they need it more frequently. And I’ve actually seen some plants come back from lack of water for a few days in such systems. And the longevity of field plants is because they’re usually planted in enriched soil and watered heavily less frequently. They only Seem to consume less. When they’re harvested, the farmer needs to either rotate to a new field, or replenish the field with fertilizer, synthetic or organic.

[@sovereignsoul]

@@BrowncoatGofAZ Agreed. I also think there is way more to soil than a simplistic formula of nitrates, phosphates, potassium, copper, calcium, and a couple of other minerals. In the same way the RDA for human nutrition "omits" 10,000 phytonutrients, I don't think the benefit of soil is fully recognized or appreciated.

I'm going to bet that they are using LED lighting. This form of lighting uses much less energy. It is an important question though.

[@capitalinventor4823]

@@jimthain8777 It's all LED as it wasn't cost efficient to do with previous types of lighting. The question is not just how much energy is used but how much compared to the alternatives. Does it make sense to stop growing tomatoes just outside of the city in Spain and move the production inside a warehouse. The LEDs will never offset the savings in transportation energy. Other economics will come into play. What about growing tomatoes with one of these systems in Glasgow, Scotland instead of shipping them in by airplane from Spain? There's a lot of energy used to ship tomatoes by plane and the question becomes does it take less energy to run the LEDs in order to grow the tomatoes.

All hydroponic farming solutions factor in proper nutrient supplies as well. They're not JUST giving them plain water. It's actually easier to make sure each specific crop gets the exact conditions it needs, via nutrients, temperature, and light. A quick google search shows that about 40% of the U.S. is farmland. That is literally so much wasted space, doubly more so when you factor in the spoilage of what they even produce in the first place. The efficiency of these methods really knock down any excuse NOT to use them. Conservatively speaking, even a crappy hydroponic farm is 3x more productive given the same space. (non-stacked designs) They're 90% more water efficient. If you manage them actually WELL, instead of CRAPPY, that productivity can more than triple to a staggering 10x more productive, and most crops can be grown quicker. Some can be grown even twice as fast. Translating this into actual numbers for you: even assuming the worst rates, the U.S. could free up almost 27% of it's acreage, without reducing yield quantity, quality, or growth time. If we went with good numbers, the U.S. could free up 36% of it's acreage, without reducing yield quantity, quality, and end up producing the same yields in half the time. The Agriculture Industry uses 80% of the countries consumption of water. 80%. And with hydroponics. (HYDROPONICS, Not even the AEROPONICS in this VIDEO that are EVEN MORE EFFICIENT) 90% of that 80% could be conserved. A 2018 agriculture report stated a consumption of 83.4 million acre-feet of water. With Hydroponics, that consumption would have been 8.34 million acre feet of water. (Just for your own convenience, please note that 1 acre foot of water ~ 325851 gallons) The only real negative to these new fancy efficient technologies, are the upfront costs of switching to them. But just like solar panels, they'll pay for themselves.

So many of these sound so awesome and I was really enjoying the video. It even showing the new processes in dairy farming that makes the cows happier and healthier. Though you did forget to mention that the automated milker also distributes cookies for the cows to reward them. But then I watch in horror as baby chicks are dumped out of a container like yesterday's trash. With no regard to their tiny fragile bodies. I watch young birds struggle for footing and get their legs caught as the floor is ripped out from in under them. I see the clip of them turning a Cornish cross (a genetic abomination on its own who is destined at birth for a short painful life due to genetic health issues.) to reveal a bare belly that is caused by laying in their own waste to the point it burns away the feathers and even the skin if left too long. So much blatant abuse and bad husbandry while the narrator drones on about how this is supposedly better. Better for who? Certainly not better for the birds and sick and injured animals make a poor product for human consumption. Why not instead show the automated chicken tractors that give the birds the ability to naturally forage and give them access to the sunlight they require?

Technically it does consume energy. It just comes directly from the sun. And while it’s true that these farms could consume a lot of energy particularly from fossil fuels, they also allow for less land use. That and increased production are the primary benefits of the more high-tech farms. We’re already using half the arable lane on the Planet to feed ourselves. If we keep mostly using field farming (for crops at least), we’d literally have to chop down every forest and jungle left on the planet by 2050. Vertical farms and greenhouses are possible alternatives, not panacea for world hunger. Personally I like the idea of growing enough food for oneself in their backyard. But I’m not sure how possible that is. Especially for people who don’t have backyards.

[@yeetusdeletus9]

in a soilless farm, there isn't really a growing medium. Chances are they're using hydroponics, would would mean the plant roots are suspended in a water/fertilizer solution. The solution either flows past the roots or the roots are touching solution that is being oxygenated by a air bubble pump or a combination of both.
