  • Technology is revolutionizing farming. That's great news-by the year 2050 Earth's population will be 10 billion, so we need to almost double the amount of food we now produce.

    I loved how Bryce, Robin and Kiriana made this report very neutral as to not offend any hardcore group. The timing and placement of each category was amazingly thought out! I could've imagined pro Vegan/Vegetarian groups getting on this and bash the creators on why they included the new technologies on handling livestock, fish and insects, but being that lab-grown meat and Mark Post's comments were included later on proves to me how balanced this documentary is.

    Hey, can you guys do a segment on Food Waste? Apparently, 40% of food made in developing countries is wasted in the early stages of the food cycle because of lack of technology, funding, etc. While in developed countries, the problem of food waste seems to come from the consumer side.
    It'd be good to raise awareness for this topic! Thanks!

    Perhaps Africa should pivot and not only produce green energy and export it to other continents but also produce food through vertical farming using solar power/green energy. I really think vertical farming is the way to go, because you can control the environment; amount of water you use, how much & the type of light the plants get, control bugs & insect without chemicals, re-use the same water, automation, local product VS importing from thousands of miles away etc.

That's a big aspect in the sci-fi novel I'm writing, along with lab grown meats, fully autonomous harvesting, 3D printing food via capsulized food (i.e. foodini), etc. I imagine skyscraper scale vertical farms being built around the world, allowing humanity's footprint to gradually scale back to cities/towns as traditional field farming becomes obsolete and reforestation can occur much faster, even while the human population continues to grow.

    When it comes down too it we have to get rid of the thought that its up to a very small percent of people (i.e. the farmers) to feed their respective countrys population. It's up to us as a whole to feed ourselves. Dig up your lawn and start a small garden, grow some plants in your window sill, get your neighbours together as a community and figure out your food needs so you can delegate certain crops to certain people so at harvest time when Dave has the tomatoes and Sarah has the beans etc. Etc. The community can reap what they've sown and everybody eats. When it comes down to it the only way we can truly count on the continuity of our food source's (and more importantly the QUALITY) is for us regular people to re-learn how to feed ourselves. It really isn't that difficult and when you know what you're doing it can even be fun.

  • @samerm8657

    You left out one important part of the equation.
    The soil must go back to the earth which the food came from.
    For example: Much of the food we consume in western Europe comes from Spain. But then the dried sewage is gets put on the closest (and cheapest) communal landfill instead of being returned to back to the farmers in Spain.
    Though it sounds trivial now, this will become a very serious issue in the future (if left unchecked)

      Modern farming is like mining with plants, creating wastelands that are dependent on fertilizer made from petroleum and poisons that leech into the soil and waterways, killing off the natural ecosystems. The giant fields of wheat or corn or soy or whatever crop, is a failed paradigm. Most of the world's deserts are man-made by mismanagement, talk about climate change, look at the fertile crescent, look at the loess plateau

    As a farmer in California, I can assure the creator of this film that I can produce four times the production of vegetables on one square foot of ground than a hydroponic warehouse farm can under artificial light. I agree it's an interesting idea, but it doesn't come close to the production or cost efficiency U.S. Farmers produce vegetables for on one acre of land.
    On the other hand, as Amazon continues to decimate the 1980's economic model of Brick & Mortar stores leaving vacant malls all around US cities, maybe these facilities can be used for something productive again like growing food. It would just need to make economic sense for private industry to rehab a mall into a indoor vegetable growing facility and turn a profit.
    Lastly, we do not need to double production to feed the world. The world needs to stop making more people. Their's already a tremendous amount of wasted crop left in fields that the U.S. public deems unusable due to a slight blemish, whereas in foreign countries they would be happy to have that same food product.

    The billions-of-years-of-R&D that nature has produced is being overlooked in this clip. Fairly speaking, not many people are aware of so many symbiotic relationships and unique adaptations in nature that can be leveraged for much greater production while potentiating massive energy efficiencies (I mean, are we taking the time to learn just how amazingly efficient and integrated a wild ecosystem is?). Permaculture is a very effective means of organic food production, but it requires the relinquishment of the de facto monopoly of big agriculture, a personal responsibility for own and community food availability and much more knowledge. This does not mean a low-tech approach at all. Please check it out and help spread the word

    Well researched, clearly presented, and quite informative. Thanks Bryce. Looking forward to your next ep. If you haven't tackled it already- I think the private sector launch market might be interesting. Launch costs are falling quite quickly(especially among the small launchers like Vector, Rocketlab, and ArcaSpace) and those reductions will change the way we use orbital and outer space in so many ways

    We embrace all this technology and innovation, allow GMOs, yet our children are among the sickest in any developed country in the world. Sicknesses range from all kinds of autoimmune disorders to all levels of neurological disorders. By 2032 1 out of 2 children born will be diagnosed with Autism. We also have the highest SIDS rates and the craziest, out of control, vaccination schedule.

    • @Jimbogf
      @Jimbogf 6 лет назад +2

      While organic food is healthier. Organic farming requires more land, labor, and time than intensive farming. That is the reason why organic food is more expensive. That being said organic farming cannot feed the world. The amount of arable land that would be needed to feed the world organic food would have the forests plowed under for farms and also livestock pastures to collect the manure needed to fertilize the crops (since you can't use chemical ferts).

    • @mihirm3632
      @mihirm3632 6 лет назад

      It can feed the world. For example China's population was 550 million in 1950 all sustained by organic farming. Old methods and outdated techniques fed that many people. Surely new methods of soil and land management using the latest technology and knowledge from the fields of ecology, gentics and so on can feed the 1.4 billion in China now?

    • @spiritualhumanist
      @spiritualhumanist 6 лет назад +1

      JimmyG Yours first sentence is the answer.Organic food is healthier, more nutritious, so you don’t need a large amount.Right now we don’t have food shortage, we have money shortage to by all that food that gets wasted.Intense labor? Let’s think about automatization ,small farms an biodiversity instead large monoculture farms.Fertilizers-food waste (vegetable scraps) composting with worms- best org.fert.If you stop seeing food as money it’s much easier to go organic

      Who ever heard of diverse polycultures of plant guilds integrated with animals to recycle wastes and manage pests and weeds? It's not like that's how nature works or anything like that. Besides, who wants to produce more food with less input and an increase in land fertility over time, right? In all seriousness you can throw all the technology and robotics at the problem, but if we're still running acres upon acres of single crop monocultures with chemical fertilizers and poisons, we'll keep degrading our arable land and killing our ecosystems.
