Do you thinks is BIO?Nah a lot of chemical involved and if thats the future than we re doomed!

You new generation farmers are killing nutrients in food crops. I bought carrot the other time, it was so orange in color and fresh and meaty that I couldn't wait to eat it. As soon as I took a bite, I became worried. It was flavorless and tasteless. I was eating carrot that tasted like water. Carrots are supposed to be sweetish with a very strong carrot flavour Same thing with garlic. Garlic ought to have a really strong garlic flavour but the garlic in the market these days is so mild in flavor that you wonder what horror profit driven greedy farmer are doing to our food crops! I can't be the only one noticing how mild our fruits and veggies are getting in flavour?? Profit is not all there is to life. Food nutrients in plant should always trump profit. Change your ways. Grow food on the ground. Use organic manure. Stop being lazy. Spread the word!!

But isnt the electricity cost too expensive.

@@soonsuicidal put solar panels on the field nearby and it should be fine

@@M1ssing_Link I doubt solar panels would be anywhere near powerful enough to power the operation, but it could be a small help

@@mr16325 A big help! He says the farm ist a "quarter of a million square meter" big, which means that if we cover about 60% of the area with solar panels at an output of about 200W peak per square meter for, lets say 6 hours a day (australia is pretty sunny but i still only make 6 hours to cover some downtime and lower electricity generation over a year), that makes about 180000 kWh generated per day, aka a massive amount of power. Of course this is a pretty ideal scenario without any losses, but still, thats a lot of electricity

@@calsterman8119 uhhh why would you waste 60% of the area to hold solar panels

That's a workplace hazard for everyone working there, from electricians to plumbers and gardeners. I would call union, if my boss came to office and poured a bucket full of viper snakes on the floor "to keep the mice out naturally". "They rarely bite humans, that can happen on some rare occasion, but their bite is life threatening only for those who are allergic. Which you may or may not be, can't know if you've never been bitten by a viper. Such is life, suck it up!" xD

@@atklm1 or you could just not get a job working in horticulture with bees if you were allergic.

You are funny. You do realize that tomatoes pollinate themselves?! Even if a plane flies by your closed greenhouse that is enough...

@@michaelmano7261 Bee sting is a workplace hazard, whether you are allergic or not. Here where I live (Nordics), employer would have to pay for protective suit and depending on case, maybe has to pay even hazard bonus. And that is cheap compared to what it would cost if employee gets sting because suit and proper safety education and procedures were not implemented. And I mean, like really expensive, like 18 months salary as a compensation, plus fines, because workplace safety violation by neglect is a crime. And I actually don't know whether I am allergic to bees or not. I might be, it's not like everyone gets tested as a child like getting vaccination. And allergy is not like diabetes, that you either have or don't, it's a spectrum and you may gain or lose allergies over time. I know people who were really allergic to chocolate when younger, but now eat a ton of it. And vice versa.

@@atklm1 Ever heard of this place called outdoors? Bees generally exist in any workplace that deals with plants and nature, why would it be any different in this case? Do you also wear a full-suit of protective gear when walking around in the forest? Most people sure don't..

Nice one, I see what you did there😉

I know you're joking but stinger nettles are a very similar shape and mask the odour and provide good protecting insects

@@thefirstbushman protecting insects?

@@Jo-hq4zt "protecting insects" keep mite numbers down, mites can be damaging to some crops

😂😂 Has much man power has it taken to keep a plant away from us?

I just harvested my first tomatoes of the year 3 days ago. I haven't had a fresh tomato since last fall, just store bought. I was blown away by how good mine are compared to store bought. Not just taste either, the texture is far superior as well. I grow them in the ground with home made compost and foliar feed weekly with kelp and fish emulsion. If the plant is strong and healthy with no nutrient deficiencies they are much less susceptible to pests and diseases. Just like people.

@@taitjones6310 That's great, what kind of a climate do you live in? I think the current problem with commercial tomatoes is that their genetics have really been modified to be productive rather than tasty or high in nutrients. I guess we can't complain, though, since we need more demand now than ever. If you're interested , I highly recommend reading the University of Florida research about tomatoes and their complex phenotypes (Denise Tieman).

@@GamingBT I live in USDA zone 6b in NW Texas. Average yearly rainfall is listed at 14 inches, but we just got off a 10 month drought and I've had about 4 1/2 inches so far since May. The problem with commercially grown tomatoes is actually volume and shipping. Industrial practices took hold in agriculture and everyone forgot all their common sense. Commercially grown tomatoes have to be picked before they are ripe and shipped long distances. We really just need more small farms, like 20,000% more small farms in order to keep most produce local, or at the very least, regional, so that tomato varieties can be bread specifically for individual climates. Honestly, selecting the right variety of anything for your local climate is the most important thing in maintaining a healthy garden. If you're interested in the actual growing side of it, you should look up Charles Wilbur. He could be considered the Godfather of high production organic tomatoes. He set the world record for tomato plants with a 28.5 ft. tall plant that produced over 400lbs. of tomatoes. No GM phenotypes, just Big Boy and Better Boy varieties. After reading some of his work (he has a book) I've doubled the size of my plants and tripled production. The plants are the healthiest plants that I have ever grown or seen in person. And I've still got a long way to go.

I grow tomatoes hydroponically. They are just as tasty and nutritious as the plant has dialed in nutrients.

That would reveal that they are literally worthless as food, because despite a techbro's best effort, plants are complex parts of a complex ecosystem (the soil) which only work properly within that ecosystem.

still better than any other regular job tho

@@sahali14 if you do it for at least 8 hours a day it IS a regular job....and a very boring and repetitive one at that.

@@sabin97 like every other job isn't?

@@josh._-_ regular jobs, yeah.

@@sabin97 so farming isn't a regular job? Howd you work that out

That's what I was thinking. Must be some crazy reason they dont

Other farms do that

Since they're dealing with monofarms, if they didn't control the environment, most likely they'd have a pest problem, and the bees would suffer because of it. I've never really understood why they don't do multicrops in this kind of hydroponic environment. Open for insects, a few plants would get pests but other insects would arrive to control them. Variety would be key to homeostasis.

Bees wouldn't survive in there. They don't deal well with monoculture, which is one of the reasons they're dying out in rural areas but thrive in urban areas.

@@affenkeks that makes sense. I'm sure they would if they could because it would be cheaper

This is a great idea!

Interesting... so what's the natural frequency for em ???? I'd like to try

Love from Germany best of luck

Thank you very much

This is what most farming should turn into. One of our biggest problems is agricultural runoff and soil acidification from farming. Thats even before pesticides and the rest. Warehouse farms is the go - clean, efficient, minimal pollution. Output vs land size, with a return of HUGE swathes of land to forest.

But using traditional farms simply isn’t sustainable . Having farms that massive traditional wrecks havoc on the water supply and soil health

Yes got a few HLG's and super spreaders using the UV supplement,so much better than hps,especially in Australian climate

No. Checkout Pascal Poot.

@@Rhinoch8 , his stuff looks interesting; especially the heritage varieties he is growing, that needs to be encouraged. But what passes for dry in France is completely different from what passes for dry in Australia during a drought.

@@Rhinoch8 Fine for France, but other nations take dry to an entirely different level. It's not dry compared to Australia. Or, Heaven forbid, some place like Chad, or even Burkina Faso.

Plot twist: Rita: It wasn't me boss. You should ask Jake 🤠

Looking for this comment! :)

If I was Rita I would definitely do that. Just every 10 000 plants to keep the mood up.

Honestly as a grower myself. We would love to be able to use bees instead of manual pollination as it'll save us alot of money on labour. Problem is the bees required for the job you're not allowed to bring in from Europe due it being an invasive species.

solar energy is always an option! theres too much farmland but people still starve. if this helps solve land and starvation issues, than a little more power can't hurt

@@trolololol9000 Sorry what ? You don't have bees ?

Rockwool as growing medium is not sustainable farming

@@mckinleyd603 yes it is as you can still mulch it into the soil for your soil crop after the season done

we need to support solitary bees, bees are dying because of a surplus of honey bees

I don’t see why it wouldn’t.

🌸 I second that, they can easily place some beehives in there & just ensure people they hire are not allergic. Bees only sting if they’re under serious threat or disturbed in their hive, that’s why beekeepers are so gentle.

@@jamskinner Bees can't move in greenhouses since they use sunlight to navigate..bumble bees can tho

Bees eat nectar and unwittingly transmit pollen in the process. The gigahertz from the MW towers is slaughtering the bees. No bees no food.

I didn't know oranges could be grown hydroponically

it's not due to the nutrients, that's due to the lack of sun light.

@@TechieTard this farm has sunlight

I would say due to the speed of growth withthe high carbon intake they would be lacking in nutrients and probably flavour as well

Charles Robert interesting

@Bitterman Yes, grain is fed to animals, but it is still deforestation-for-grain. Yes going vegan is more efficient use of land but the question is can most people tolerate that diet? Dr Sten Ekberg couldn’t tolerate a vegan diet and turned to a keto diet with 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. Some of the Keto food is protein from fish, pork, beef and chicken. IMHO The problem with vegetable protein is the mismatch with our DNA nucleotides resulting in waste.

Not really even trees need to be cut down from time to time, logging isn't the real issue clear cutting is. Just like strip mining and fracking is. Its when you go over board that creates an issue. most oil wells they frack to get the last bit out, unfortunately they also pull up radio active waste when they do. strip mining they tear up miles of land to get to the coal, but in most places the surface coal also filters the stream and lake waters of toxins and ammonia. most of this water comes out in natural springs. Unfortunately most people think solar and wind will fix all the issues. Does any one realize just how long it would take a battery or a solar panel to break down in a land fill, Or just how many trillions of tons of solar panel scraps there is world wide that they have absolutely no ideal what to do with. or all the heavy metals released into the soils from the batteries used to store the energy from solar panels. Kinda like carbon impact every ones promoting these days. most people never consider just how much carbon plants need to thrive. Its not the carbon thats the problem its that the majority of carbon globally is coming from certain major cities world wide were all the manufacturing is going. If you look at satellite photos of the earth you can pretty much guess were you will find the majority of carbon before even looking at the photos. Kinda like ozone layer you never hear any one say global warming caused by jet engines or space rockets burning up the gas's in the upper atmosphere. Out of 35 million air plane flights just in the US every year you would think some one would mention that! Hydroponics has been around thousands of years, climate control and artificial lights have not, those are the real improvements. we should also mention that wine and beer comes in metal and glass containers which are made of materials found in nature, yet all food items come in plastic which is not. even when better containers are available food providers still use plastic. Stop thinking like every one tells you to and open your eyes. Hydroponics is to dependent on the grid and manufactures.

Actually the Main leading cause of doforestation, especially of the Amazon is animal agriculture and raising beef in particular. There was a study done that showed that hypothetically if the world went vegan, we could not only grow enough food for the current population but the 2050 population, and on only 70% of the land currently being used for agriculture at the moment allowing Huge areas of land to be re planted. People always want to find every solution except the one that involves people not being selfish. That being said though I am a huge fan and advocate of hydroponics, especially for fruiting annuals (tomatoes, capsicum, cucumber, eggplant, zucchini ect) but our cereal crops will still always need to be grown in fields cause of the sheer volume

@@tinderella2386 Agreed. However protein is important in the Keto diet which completely reversed T2D. Synthetic protein will come to the rescue in the near future. But if we moved away from grain to greens, nuts etc there would be even more food for the 8 billion population, less T2D, and tree roots would bind soil and banish deserts. In short our desire for grain foods is killing us

Lmfao. Probably not the stupidest comment on this thread, but it deserves an honorary mention.

Many people do not have the IQ to grasp this.

Well, the global south is fighting hunger with just MORE children

The tomatoes grown outdoor in normal conditions would taste much much better, 100%.

@@arbulonrexhepi not really in my experience the ones grown in hydroponics are of higher quality if done correctly

no

No it’s a huge problem, not sustainable at all.

It can be pulled apart and added into compost and worm farms

No, it gets thrown in landfill and new rockwool used every cycle.

Stonewool is spun from natural rock fibers, it is not fiberglass. The WHO categorizes it as bio-soluble meaning you can even eat and inhale it and the fibers will simply dissolve in your body. - Everest Fernandez

Some commercial growers enjoy many successive crops from rockwool slabs by steaming them after the plants have been removed and then replanting. Smaller growers can also do this - a few slabs can be heat treated by pouring hot water through them. Solarization is also possible, as is using chemical disinfectants, although care should be taken to rinse the rockwool well with plenty of water after using these. Commercial Grodan users have the option of the Grodan recycling service, which picks up the used slabs and recycles them into new product. However, smaller growers with just a few slabs of used rockwool can recycle the material by shredding it and reusing it as a growing media, as a component of potting mixes, or by incorporating it into outside soils and gardens. - Everest Fernandez

Have feeling it's not heirloom, creole or betterboys. Wld like to know as well.

@@shamicentertainment1262 Think of these greenhouses as factories. They need to standardize every steps of production to maximize the output.

.

I agree

It would be interesting but ultimately, it would result in a failure. The honey might look and taste like corn syrup with this horrible tomato plan.

I did some research, honey bees cannot pollenate tomato flowers, the tomato flower also contains no nectare so there is no use dor the bee to visit them.

In the Netherlands we uwe bumblebees, we set up hives in the greenhouse. You can feed them a bit of sugar water of needed. Bees are never used

@@milkdrinker5966 Same in Québec.

Normal bees don't pollinate tomatoes, the pollen is inside the stamen. Wind or a particular bee that sits on the flower and vibrates it's wings do the job in nature.

Hii

Do you really think that these plants are as healthy as the ones grown naturally in a garden? They can't even polinate themselves. Probably there are other downsides too..

@@minimars3696 it somehow sounds like you anthropomorphize these tomato plants. otherwise I can't even identify any basis to your arguments. of course they are healthy. or do you see any risk of them withering? I would agree that the manual pollination by humans with the vibrating tool seems inefficient. I would hope they come up with a better, more automated solution in the future. but to the plants, of course it makes no difference whether the pollen is carried by a bee to them or transported in any other way. so again, I have no idea what downsides you are referring to.

@@minimars3696 "They can't even pollinate themselves." That's not a "downside," it's an effect of environmental controls. There are no insects, which reduces pollination ... but it also *completely eliminates* crop destruction by pests and *completely eliminates* the need to spray insecticides. If the trade off for not injecting thousands of gallons of insecticides into our groundwater and not throwing out hundreds of kilos of food because of pest destruction is that someone has to vibrate the plants with a rod for a second and a half ... that's worth it.

@@rhet1016 This is something I feel would be at cross-roads for those who prefer 'organic' and 'sustainable'. The artificial environment and control isn't exactly organic but the immense savings/reduction of water, herbicides and pesticides compared to organic or industrial farming is great for the environment. Plus, hydroponics uses the least land for output, whereas organic farming is the worst. Saved land can be used for natural recovery of forests or shrubland as well. Personally, I think variations and improvements with research will be the future of farming.

For personal gardens yes. For profit and big farms, these are best
