Lecturer: "Even though vertical farming consumes more energy, it is crucial to have such technology on hand in the case of a global disaster, such as a food or energy crisis" Me: Did you just say 'energy crisis'? 🤨

This was so interesting! Glad to watch the full talk and really focus on what you're saying - it's potentially game-changing if more people get this right.

Thank you so much! Yes, I completely agree - the technology isn't perfected just yet but it's definitely a promising solution to create year-round food production, especially in colder winter climates like Canada!

Ooooooooo yikes. So... oishi is NOT a good example. They not only are not profitable but they know they will never be. The 160 million usd they got from Japanese investors is just spent with no return. Because of the Japanese and nyc mentalities where luxurious items are a must due to ego, they keep being propped up. Sorry. 😢

Thank you very much for your comment! I definitely see your point in which their profit is evidently related to the luxurious feel of their strawberries, and although I cannot speak to any of their financials, I can certainly understand why it would be more targeted towards wealthier consumers (and thus the ego part of things). I'm curious to see where their operations lead as well, especially with them opening a brand-new massive facility - I guess only time will tell!
