How an Indoor Farm Uses Technology to Grow 80,000 Pounds of Produce per Week — Dan Does
Bowery Farming is a network of vertical farms based in NYC. Here, innovations in light, water, and other growing technologies enable the multi-level operation to use 95 percent less water, zero pesticides, and to grow produce optimized for flavor versus bulk or insect resistance. https://boweryfarming.com

This gives hope
2:30 that is genius.
sorry but for the long term, would the total net energy used compare to nature sun energy cost more? and it would also cause more harm to the earth in the long term compare to nature energy being used. such as energy create carbon emissions. the carbon emission impact would serious cause a big harm when more is using energy from light and create more carbon emission overall. which the world is trying it best to reduce carbon emission now. and the nutrition compare to the nature of sunlight. ok got the solution, this is the future.
as always a great video
open ocean fish cage farming is the future as well.
This interviewer is a legend
My problem with this process is the actual nutrients in the produce. Vegetables and Fruits taste drastically different depending on the soil it’s grown. Minimally grown produce isn’t going to have the same type of quality in nutrients or taste if doing the least to produce is the goal.
We need to see the harvester machine!!!
I love this no pesticides or chemicals. This is real vegan stuff
Mr Burton Schilchter is the best, recommending him to all beginners who wants to recover losses like I did
This video made me angry. The host seemed like Martin Bashir when he was interviewing Michael Jackson. He kept trying to make this process seem bad in some way. Thumbs down to the host
This interviewer should be fired … he is so unprofessional
Looking like my Skyblock melon farm
The context of the video is absolutely great…unless the host…
Why tf does he have hair tied round his head?
it wouldnt be as accurate they said 2:26
continues to watch 3 seeds go into one hole
Absolutely fascinating! I think the Daniel/the interviewer/presenter is doing a fantastic job!
The plastic weighs more than the product inside …. seems pretty counter intuitive why not use the bags instead of the big bulky containers if you want to push that green idea all the environmental savings are countered by the excess packaging to make your product look better
This interviewer reminds me of everything I hate about my generation
One of the best concepts I’ve seen😯
I am in love with this idea and hope it positively affects everyone in the world but playing futuristic cyberpunk games what happens if something goes wrong with equipment, labor, or a disease like Panama disease in bananas ? But I hope it works and helps so many of the people that need food daily
what fertilizes the plants? if NPK then its no bueno. also whoowns the seeds? will this create unhealthy monopolies on food production? we already have that problem.
Well, phps a supplement to green-leafed n herbs, but root veg n 10lbs pumpkins n watermelon are nowhere to be seen, nor grain produce, seems outdoor agri’s gonna stick around for a bit
I wonder how much is their utility bills. Electricity, water and stuff
Lights, blowers, air conditioning, nutrients and labor. fungicide and water treatment. And the only way you can grow indoors and never have spider mites or caterpillars. Is to sanitize everything that comes into the building. Especially the workers. Quite a pricy deal. Compared to outdoors.
0:45 "And most importantly, build farms right next to cities to avoid the environmental impact of freighting food across the country and the world"
This most important claim is very iffy, as the environmental impact of freighting food at least internationally is FAR less impactful than the last miles into a city and through a distribution chain. We still use giant cargo ships because of how ridiculously efficient they are, and for many international crops getting it across the glove is a fraction of the environmental impact compared to the last miles.
Instead, water and chemicals is clearly the most important thing here. Farmers are incredibly wasteful. I have tremendous respect for their work but they have little qualms overusing resources and the vast majority of it goes to waste, all for the sake of their crops. It’s very inefficient.
I had an idea like this when I was little. And now it’s already happening. Everyone else always does stuff first.
This guy seems very punchable…
I like these documentaries, but what is it with these annoying background melodies which are overly loud and kind of taking away the focus from every single episode. Worst example is the one about Makers Mark 😫😤
i would never eat this artificially grown crap, it’s not good for you
Pontus Protein is a upcoming company like this different area but they are on the TSX and their plan is quite. Interesting
This is amazing I wonder if they are working on an Aquaponic system (using fish waste to feed plants). I have a small system and I haven’t eaten a purchased vegetable or fish in 3 years.
Why insect do not eat the vegetables?
I was expecting phoon to start bhoping through the basil at 1:55
I suspect once this really picks up we’ll have skyscraper high vertical farm facilities.
This is old school for us I was in hydroponics 5 years ago successfully grown many species still researching. 😉
This is pretty much how intelligently react to a non-intelligent host.
Admire the intelect behind the farming. 😎
0:27 how the F does that seed sorting machine work?
I want gordon ramsey to check this out
Hydroponic vertical farming is not only the future, but it is a necessity. Less water, energy produced from renewables and next to no pesticides. Even the hydroponic nutrients may be produced from households made compost or seaweed!
Hydroponic foods may be grown anywhere, including the very towns and cities where they are to be consumed, cutting down on transportation costs. Also, because they are being grown vertically, land use is x5 – x20 greater than using equal transitional farm land, maybe even more!
I have just walked down a flight of stairs to my garage to collect my salad for tomorrow’s lunch and yesterday, whilst making noodles for my family I collected my Pak Choi from the very same garage.
Hydroponics remove so many nutrients. Sorry folks.
what surprises me is that they promote leafy greens in a way to feed the population. Like leafy greens contain almost no calories since it’s all water weight. In order to eat 2000 calories of leafy greens a person would have to eat about 13kg or 26 pounds per day. Things get interesting if they can do this with high carb and high protein foods like potatoe, sweet potatoe and various beans and nuts.
These are micro greens can they grow other thing
Will companies use hydroponics for marijuana?
Horrible interviewer. Sorry, just not funny.
This interviewer killed a good concept
YEEZY
I want to see if they’re going to be able to grow more complex produce like different kinds of berries, tree fruits, and nuts.
“Im negative for all STD’s and Covid.”
(Visibly Cringes)
Lol thanks joe biden fjb
