Is there any service to setup in India? 🇮🇳
no more long trips buy sea and land fresh at home grown wake up what is not to like
Maximum capacity of fully automatic plant you have Thnq
Would it be possible to visit the farm ?
As long as there’s a dirt farmer to grow your seed
Where does the capital come form to finance all this?
What's nutrition apply?
I like to know more about you alls work and maybe oneday work foryoull.
Interesting. Can this be run on solar for power
Thank You!

Nice video. I find there are many planting pots and seedling trays. We're right manufacturer of them, wish I could support on it.
I need this technology in Egypt,
How can I get it?
Is it only leafy greens? I haven't seen potatoes, broccoli, carrots, brussel sprouts, or other heart vegetables that contribute greatly to the caloric needs of the population. The agriculture division, I believe, is the most immediately exciting part of what you're all doing.
Would love to know this too. Since I've read this study about wheat yield potential in vertical farming I have become somewhat disillusioned with the idea of using solar panels to power LED lights to grow food.
www.pnas.org/content/117/32/19131
I think can feed like 90.000 people with a 1 gigawatt nuclear power plant.
CubicFarm claims that the moving trays scrolling past a few LED lights reduce the energy costs but I can't imagine how that would work for calories?
Producing feedstock for animals for slaughter seems even crazier for the energy balance.
I have seen hydroponic grown potatoes, I haven't seen anyone trying carrots though.
@Dejay Rezme it wouldn't be cost effective to grow grains like wheat, rye, rice, barley, etc in a hydroponic environment to full maturity for bread and other food.
This design they're doing is mainly to grow grains for animal fodder, but the animals really also need fiber in their diet otherwise their digestive system gets screwed up, ruminate animals digestive system doesn't work like humans, dogs, pigs.
this is a amazing, the system could create food for human as feed for animals with smallest amount of land. what I am afraid the investment will be very expensive
Wouldn't it be easier to rotate the light around the plants rather than the other way around?
Ohmygod the electricity bill
That's why you need Tesla batteries and a bunch of solar panels and/or wind turbines
Nuclear would fix that.
Electricity is cheaper than labor!
It won't be the best tasting or the most nutritious food, but i agree it will be the most sustainable and safe for human than most.
I want to see it grow corn.
Throw in beans potatoes and all the other vegetables
Still need us dirt farmers to grow there seed
And at a price of $183,000.00 each
And still made in China
How much profit is there in just one box
Don’t think there paying the worker in China a living wage
Do you use fungicides, ?
BEAUTIFUL!
Want a scalable, residential version.
Really amazing! what about cost of production? any how ,best of luck
Changing world? Lol or just you
Cool System, great job, proud to be one of your supplier!
excellent technology. hope it will be affordable to the endusers instead of large corp in future.
I can see the savings in pesticides, herbicides & distribution costs but do these savings outweigh the electricity consumption for lighting, motors & water pumps?
The biggest one of these farms is in Holland i think and it depends on windmills for all there electricity
Hello, thank you for your comment! Yes, savings are seen in operational costs including but not limited to the items you mentioned. Further, utility costs are minimized through CubicFarms’ engineering design to make the CubicFarm System quite financially sustainable.
I'd be highly interested to see research into integrating this with aquaponics instead of hydroponics. The latter results in so much discharge of chemical-laden water, whereas aquaponics has a closed water system with no need for nutrient input or water/chemical discharge.
OK fellas, next stop: Iqaluit. These guys' 12 month growing infrastructure could SERIOUSLY use a hand. Considering the federal support, I'm sure you guys can lock in a deal the same way Drone Delivery Canada locked in favourable deals at Moose Cree First Nation.
can this system be used to grow cannabis ?
Hello, CubicFarm Systems can be used in many applications. Please contact CubicFarm for more information: www.cubicfarms.com
there are many countries around the world that sell vegetables at very cheap prices. This way, will it work.?
is it run by LED light only? how many Kilowatt-hours of electricity do you need to harvest one kg of dry mass? what is the lifetime of such a unit? what is the carbon footprint of the machinery in relation to the harvest output? and how many square meters of photovoltaic panels would it need to produce the required electricity ?
Thank you for your interest in CubicFarms. Our crops are grown under LED light and it sounds as if you have a specific crop in mind. Please contact Andrei, from our Customer Experience team (andrei@cubicfarms), to discuss this further.
i wanna build something similar but would fit into an apartment as a wall. maybe impossible but this gives me hope
I have done something similar like that, you can definitely do this. I used two 120W lm281 panels and a hlg240 driver. A raspberry pi controls the led driver as well as water pumps and ventilation fans.
It’s already here look into wall growing units
this will change everything in the world
How is water administered to the plants? i.e. foliar spray (sprinkler), hydroponic system, other?
How do you intend to deal with supply chain issues since the machine is built in China
hooootttttttttt
Wow honestly wow
I wonder... If the system could still grow plants in an air tight room?
Please email me the cost off setting up this farm
did it reach you ? :))
2:40 What kind of lettuce is this?
Living lettuce
This is so amazing!! Looking forward to seeing this used in more places in the future!!
Amazing work, CubicFarm Systems!
You probably dont care at all but does someone know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me
@Mathias Hunter instablaster ;)
@Matteo Justin I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site on google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Matteo Justin It worked and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much you saved my account!
@Mathias Hunter happy to help :)
This looks like promising and important technology for future sustainability!
Do Cubic Farm sell in India?
this is so awesome!
Proud to be a supplier to such a great system!
Smart work , dedication and commitment with excellent output. Simply amazing technology and innovative.
Apart from green leafy vegetables can we grow other like strawberry, chillies etc?
It looks good, Do the system work with cut leafs for packing by automatic ways?
Hello, thank you for your comment! Cubicfarms works with it’s customers to determine, in detail, the desired growing parameters and marketplace needs. Through those discussions, the inclusion of automation can be determined.
sad to see some of their premium space in their facilities being used for livestock feed instead of producing high quality food for human consumption directly.
not something I can invest in.
Hi Holly, thank you for your feedback! We are happy to share that our CubicFarms division produces high quality fresh produce, on site in any climate, 365 days/year. You can see more in our Cultivator machine video: ruclips.net/video/_QQ6fx1dpPw/видео.html.
Tremendous 🌱
amazing！
Sustainable!?! That container alone consumed more energy through its production than it’d produce as veggies. I see a lot of hot air marketing here. Hell, putting on a transparent top would probably make it just a bit more ‘sustainable’
Hello, thank you for your comment! Farming in both an traditional manner or within indoor environments utilize equipment that requires manufacturing and therefore energy consumption at upstream sources. Cubicfarms is confident in its benefits when viewing this from a full life cycle sustainability prospective.
