Great quality, great work!

[@kesterbelgrove818]

The high-end, high-priced designer strawberries were the answer compared to lettuce and other low-unit-cost items. He definitely has hit the nail on the head. I hope he makes it

[@honor9lite1337]

Agreed

[@adamnelson3921]

Awesome video! 🍓

[@oishiisocialteam]

We couldn't agree more! :)

Don’t ever stop. You will become one of the well known youtubers ever. You are the secret sauce.

[@0njo188]

I think for now, until other sources of energy is discovered, they should dial it back and apply more human intervention techniques. The whole point of the extra tech is to lower cost and boost productivity. If it does 1 and not both, it's not effective enough yet.

[@bored833]

U deserve so much more subs!

[@atomicowl-]

Vertical farms are really cool and effective but the only concern I have with it is the produce has less nutrition in them compared to soil farming and nutrition is very important for general well being of people. If they introduce natural(not synthetically produced trace minerals/nutrients) to grow these vertical farms then I highly support and recommend it because its more efficient.

[@StartupSavantTRUiC]

We agree! And because the soil is depleted of trace minerals and nutrients in most agricultural areas, adopting vertical farming that supplements such things could solve another set of issues.

Great video. Well made and had good coverage of the topic.

I am the published author of 119 books. I write about the Bosnian Genocide (I am a survivor of it), love, war, bullying, heartbreak, social justice, human rights & mental health. How may I get interviewed by your organization?

[@humblinghumblrooski]

It seems the vertical indoor farming is inevitable. Im puzzled as to why more efforts arent being made to find lower cost energy to get companys like this afloat .

[@aquagreensorganic]

What a great video, amazing content.

[@StartupSavantTRUiC]

Much appreciated!

[@johnotooledoggames2336]

[@StartupSavantTRUiC]

[@Padjeshop]

Vertical farming is more expensive of cost then integrated farming.
