I took a winter course I think maybe about 3 weeks crash course in public speaking. She allowed me to choose any topic that I really wanted. My favorite speech was on Urban food self-reliance.. I believe I got a d on that one because I took about 10 to 15 minutes to explain it all. 😂 It was really more of a TED talk. I have much to say to these people. Much to offer and help them understand. However, I also have much respect.
sebastian walls Here’s the article I was reading about it on! www.google.com/amp/s/www.cnbc.com/amp/2019/11/12/kimbal-musk-and-square-roots-hope-to-feed-the-world-and-someday-mars.html
Really good video! it was short and concise, just as I needed. I heard about this company a couples of years ago and never knew of them again, so I'm happy they're still operating and their energy problems haven't taken over them, I really hope they make it through their problems and grow up to the light ;)
Ok, I really expected something more in-depth than this commercial... In reality it's a very niche, very expensive, very maintenance-heavy product, which can, at best, provide fresh produce for boutique restaurants and stores for high-end customers. Due to city rent and maintenance costs it will only be able to compete, in future, with leafy greens produce, never with staple foods. Staple foods growing in such conditions will require enormous, multi-level hangars to only support a small village at a sky-high price. Bottom line, currently it is only viable for growing grass :)
It's not totally a niche for high-end costumers - in those containers , we could at least grow some basic vegetables (more likely green vegetables), in much better conditions for us and the envirourment.
I did some math. Assuming perfect efficiency and the electricity costs of Saudi Arabia, with the maximum beneficial luminosity of 100w/meter going all day every day 365 days a year, electricity for lighting alone is 27k a year. Bruh wtf.
@@unpostedtrader4504 What he means is that you basically go from the Earth's natural cycles taking care of mineralizing the soil, to us having to mine the minerals that are the building blocks of the plants. Relying on mineral mining could cause future famines and give a severe risk of food scarcity if the mining logistics are interrupted while land-based farming has been mostly or entirely replaced.
I worked for a company like this. I quit after just a dew daya of working in these enclosed boxes with artificial light cutting tiny leaves for hours. There is so much sterilization of your clothes and things that you need to do as well and just working inside like that was somehow really depressing. Also the lighting and nutrient levels have to be just right otherwise a lot gets wasted. Waste was happening when i was there where whole harvests had to be thrown out and entire water supplies had to be drained because something in the nutrients in the water was off. Bottom line is this type of farming is not as utopian as it sounds
Great! I know you are shocked to get a text from me I want you to be calm, sincerely I want to introduce to you formally the farm of the future, that produces food to Urban cities. We welcome investors and friends of Square Roots farms. 🙏🏼
Glass roofs, Bioluminescence Bacteria, Urban Bee Keeping (honeybees or preferably other/blended with other pollinators) will probably become important as this industry develops. Urban farming essentially makes urban living sustainable and give people cheap accessible food and more accessible land
I hope the laws that are in place do not end our chances to grow our own food. Ice Age Farmer.com and Pinball Preparedness comment section has a firestorm of comments regarding a 1942 Supreme Court decision (Wickard versus ...) that gives the government power to limit or halt farming if growing your own wheat and not buying on the market would cause a drop in market prices. Well, that sets a precedent for veggies, chickens, everything - just not implemented yet.
Urban farming is going to take over world = I have been dreaming of converting my vault into an indoor veggie patch - scale it up with the containers and down so it fits in every persons home on every door step in the world can grow their own. Individually if we planted something collectively it would be a very different picture. I’m up for the challenge - UK reps ready 😎 #FunkyEVOLutionParty #loveEVOLution #ThinkGloballlyactLocally
My sentiments exactly Clone Ranger lights are totally outta date and not a fan of the vertical grow boxes either, they could be way more efficient.. but Love the idea tho, he needs to hit his brother up for a loan to get a couple thousand containers with solar panels then they'd have next to no overhead🤔🥬🍄🍠 or 🌱🌴🌳 makes me wanna get a couple containers for myself😤...🤨
Let's all strive towards improving the world and making it safer for both humans and animals, without any depth traps! Money used to improve the world is healthy, money used to create depths is the core route towards greed, overflowing towards evil! Go natural as far as possible and let's make urban farming possible and free for all! 😀
Those steel containers get hotter than shit during the summers here in Texas. We use one at a business of ours. I don't know how you'd insulate one for a climate controlled system to be effective enough.
In hot places or on mats it needs to be underground. Solar panels and wind turbines, the new small ones, on the roof. Water needs be reused. Or maybe just something to shade the container would help. Anyway, who wants to work in a box. Can it be automated?
This is should be more used and implemented in india and other populated countries because it will stop hyperinflation plus make the quality of vegetables here fresh
This iß brilliant......solar energy used! Wwwoww Excellent.....i would love to do this....at the moment i start early the seeds to later transplant in the backyard.... this method is finicky at times....i have failed due to many factors....this ...KimbalMusk method seems to give much enthusiasm for the future of food insecurity....Solution!!!!
It’s the only way forward. I like the comment about the sun - my trailer was wiped out by spider mites -would the sun have helped? Don’t know but maybe.
Idea, Austin Texas "sustainable" riverfront park exhibition walk. Tesla sponsors competitions sustainable energy and agriculture that will be on permanent display. Catagoiries could include Aquaponics farming, permaculture food production, micro-hydro electric, water purification tech, 3d printing tech that promotes human and planetary health (printing homes) also hold tinyhouse competitions and rallies. Perhaps even build a tiny house community "for sale" to employees. My dream has been to start an AgTown (icoined the phrase) for years. AgTown will also be a show place for solar roof, V2G-VPP energy storage... I know Elon pays attention to you...bend his ear on this totally awesome marketing strategy. If Elon and Kimbal builds it, they will come. Word of mouth will explode. I could probably convince my family to move there and help get it going if Elon gave the green light. After almost 30 years in the Army and logistics, I have a lot of valuable experience in getting things done. Something this cool would surely catch on. Your thoughts?
I think urban farming is brilliant! Like to do it and see it come to my State. I wish I could get involved on this locally.

It can also be used on Mars
Yeah, I was reading about that! Elon and Kimball could team up once SpaceX gets to Mars. Pretty awesome!!
@@FuturologyChannel where exactly were you reading about that? I'd love to dig deeper on the subject.

Futurology awesome, thanks!!
sebastian walls No prob!
I'd love to see a Square Roots unit in every school
That’s great. Am from India and an resident of the urban areas, and this is really intriguing.
It will change the world.
Round up ready!
The roots passed the 🍿 popcorn and landed me here. Square roots yall 🙌
Absolutely is the present and future answer

11k if 10 hours a day instead of 24/7
The nutrients used in the growing medium have to come from somewhere. That's an issue you have to solve.
They mix it in the water they use

Well if you put the hydroponic farms underground ... under the supermarkets ... the food grown would be super fresh and no transportation
Thank you for your informative video. We are in touch with Square Roots farmers and hope to plan projects together.

Nice video.

Awesome! 😃
Thanks! 😊
Inspirational!

Absulutely Brilliant
I prefer plants outdoors in real soil. I also prefer gardening outdoors and not indoors. I think we have enough space on this earth.
I hope the laws that are in place do not end our chances to grow our own food.

If it keeps getting too hot it may be the only choice we have
This looks super promising
Yeah, Agriculture!
Yes.. By all means...
Naturel farming is the best with natural sun
Urban farming is going to take over world = I have been dreaming of converting my vault into an indoor veggie patch - scale it up with the containers and down so it fits in every persons home on every door step in the world can grow their own.
Individually if we planted something collectively it would be a very different picture.

It can be made in Maldives because we need fresh produce
Could be life changing, does anyone know if there are any negative side effects
Energy usage (this could be negated in the future though). And it could be bad for rural communities and already existing farmers.
@@kayseek1248 thanks for the info 🙏🏾💜
This is what I want ❤
Yo , !!!!
Anyone talks to these guys
tell -em " I need a job & will work
cheep. !" Imagine ??!!??

good technology
The chemical engineering aka chemtrail agenda will hate this

Optimus robot can do the work.
This is should be more used and implemented in india and other populated countries because it will stop hyperinflation plus make the quality of vegetables here fresh
One container??? Same as 1-2 acres??? That would meen that one container can produce from 136 to 372 times as much as traditional farming
That is simply not possible especially large growing veggies such as tomatoes... This video need to be redone to get a more realistic perspective.
great video! what is the music background?

I can't wait for this to arrive here in Brazil, it's very sunny here and I hope that this technology will help reduce the price of food.
No they're trying to cut down their overhead it's a business
it makes it easier and people dont have to move out to isolated areas and work alone.
Great, let's build more of these things and stop plowing through our forests before we lose our oxygen supply.
Check out the controversy. Kimball stole the money from his workers.....
Do they have stocks?
Im in Malaysia and it will probably never be here 💆
It’s the only way forward. I like the comment about the sun - my trailer was wiped out by spider mites -would the sun have helped? Don’t know but maybe.
this thing costs 80k but you can get the exact same thing for 15 to 25K. giant rip off !
This is musks farm? 😭😠

Good idea, but why not to do it yourself? Don't wait for anyone to work on your idea, cling to it and go get it! You can be an entrepreneur too
