Everything you’ve present on Sundays so beautifully done thank you it’s nice to get away from all the noise out there and just enjoy a nice piece of information I think this is why I’ve always enjoyed Sunday mornings with CBS
I'm glad that vertical farming is moving forward. However with everything there are cons, pros, and hurdles to be considered. Cost vs profit. Locations(convenience or cost of living issues) Consumer base. I support it but it's not a fix all solution.
What we need to be doing is teaching people to grow their own food and composting being self dependent is how you really help America for the good in all ways!!. healthier food and healthier people Will make a healthier America
Ideally that is what we would do however majority of the working class would not be able to do it. I speak from experience. Right now I am burnt out that’s how hard I’ve been working. I worked yesterday today is my day off tomorrow I’m back at work. That’s how crazy my work week is. A more realistic solution would be to start investing in urban Farming so that food systems become localized.
@@antmagor I get it I've worked 14 hour days came home and took care of the homestead with a disability 80% of my body was burned can't no more but been there
I've heard this before. I imagine the most profitable crops would be ones that are already bland and need seasoning either way. Eg. Lettuce, kale, cabbage. I don't think heavy produce(carrots, peppers, tomatoes, eggplants) would work here
@@maribelberinstein6210 we are you referring to? This is a concept commercially used in many countries low on space, or climatically ill-suited to farming.
I just see a building of plastic. Lettuce is better than a lot of wasteful things, I suppose, but I wonder about the food value - is it worth the cost? Lettuce has a few vitamins and a bit of fiber, but there are a lot more calorie and nutrient dense foods, such as root vegetables, beans, lentils. This LOOKS cool - but I wonder if the return is much less than the cost.
Well that depends on how you defined traditional farming. If we’re talking local small farms owned my mom and pop I would hope not. If we’re talking about corporate farms that are producing a lot of GMO‘s, a lot of carbon, and a lot of pesticide ridden food, I certainly hope it Reduces it. On a list of problems environment is facing is figuring out a way to supply food without shipping it from California all the way to Maine. And vice versa.
Wonderful! Now, can we work on desalination of our water and good manipulation of weather? I read about weather manipulation years ago. If that’s possible, weather should be manipulated for good to save lives.
At some point when we really understand plants and nutrition, when we understand trace minerals and nutrients, yeah, maybe "vertical" farming. But now we don't. It's a crap shoot with modern ag already vis-a-vis real nutrition, and this just makes it weirder. And why do we even need this? Too many people is the obvious answer.
Japan has been doing this for sometime. Glad to see this and what a dream for the community.
Minecrafters taught the japanese

This is a great idea. Now, if only they could find an alternative to the plastic clam-shell packaging!
YES!!! I am AVOIDING the plastic/clam-shell packaging as much as possible.
I first learned of hydroponics and vertical farming 40 years ago at Epcot Center. Glad to see it is finally starting to become financially profitable.
Glad they have employees with disabilities. God bless them.

Great job. Much love from Ethiopia 💚💛❤
Blessings and Love to you.

You're not wrong but half of Americans live in apartments and more than 80% in cities.

My experience is that food grown without soil has no taste. A bell pepper is crisp and beautiful but no zing.

This has been available for decades now. I don't understand why bigger corporations haven't invested more in this technology.
Brilliant.
Love this. Now let’s replace those plastic containers with reusable mesh bags.
“If there is no vertical farm there: Put One there.”💡💡
I love this!!!!
Great idea 💡
FINALY some good news👍🏻
That harvest machine is loose rope and powered by a drill?! Innovative.
This can be done anywhere.
CBS News needs to talk about Ecosia they are a search engine that plants trees
Wonderful idea that actually works in real life!
Read the above comment and research, not so great of an idea

How much does a head of lettuce sell for from this operation?
I just see a building of plastic. Lettuce is better than a lot of wasteful things, I suppose, but I wonder about the food value - is it worth the cost? Lettuce has a few vitamins and a bit of fiber, but there are a lot more calorie and nutrient dense foods, such as root vegetables, beans, lentils.

Would facilities like these reduce an overdependence on traditional farming?

@@antmagor Yeah I think that sounds about right.
This is ENCOURAGING!
2:20 "oop" 😮 😂🤣😆
Wow vertical farming, will soon be world wide, doesnt this will cut out the small farmers
Oh wow I'm going to Wyoming....this is AMAZING!!!!!!
but who's to say there's going to be a strong wind?

Amazing, exactly what we need 👍🏻

Ugh. AND, all put in plastic.
even a better then this would be a aqua ponic vertical farm.... All by nature.
This is not a new concept. See: The Hanging Gardens of Babylon
