Topic: The future of Farming. (Read 1585 times)

I agree with you, farming is the future. because of course, if there are no farmers, rich people cannot taste or get rice that was previously managed by farmers, therefore I think the work of farmers is a job that is of great service to many people. Most of our basic daily needs are produced by farmers, therefore we should be able to thank farmers. Indeed, money can buy everything, but not everything can be bought with money.

It's true what you say, if it weren't for agriculture, how would the world be able to provide food. In fact, in my opinion, the work of farmers should be paid attention to, such as providing more support to them, even though the price is high, perhaps because the farmers themselves experience the process, so it is natural that they want a higher price than usual. It is true what you say that agriculture has a big role for us, because it fulfills our needs to survive.

This is a really interesting concept.
For the second year now I have been participating in one crypto-agro project as an investor. Now the main crops (tomatoes, cucumbers, zucchini, lettuce, cabbage, radishes, ....) are grown using the standard method. Last year, we decided to launch several test sites with a vertical growing system. The equipment has already been purchased and will be installed in the near future, after which the first harvest will be sown. The plan for the development of this technology is very serious. After all, technology allows you to get many times more harvest from the same area, at lower costs!

Vertical farming can be successfully applied where there is a problem with free territory or with the fertility of the land. That is, it is suitable for urban areas on the roofs of multi-story buildings, but not for rural areas. Of course, this technology is worth supporting and it can provide people with additional agricultural products.
But in general, food shortages are still expected in the future and people will look for other opportunities to survive. Promising in this regard may be the creation of artificial food from gas, oil and other organic substances. At the same time, existing agricultural land should be treated with care and not destroyed.

All of this has its own advantages and disadvantages in each agricultural model, because traditional agriculture which does not require more costs definitely requires more effort from the manager himself. Meanwhile, vertical farming which is said to be promising does not require more labor to do, but it definitely requires more costs to make it successful even though it can be harvested in a short period of time if the results are better. However, the downside is still the cost issue, which generally not everyone can afford.

I think you talk from a poor country's perspective because in poor countries, farmers earn the least amount of money and everyone tries to sell villages and move to cities for a better future. In my country land in villages is cheap because nobody wants to live there and we import most of the food, local ones can't beat the prices of imported products, that's strange but it's how it is. I have heard that in rich countries like the USA, people might want to become a farmer but land is so expensive that you can't become a farmer if your parents didn't give you land. Btw I haven't heard about vertical farming, googled it right now and I like this idea, it's very cool, we can save tons of land via vertical farming.

My country receives lots of foreign aid from Europe but it's rarely used for the development of farming, most of it is eaten by corrupt politicians.

Come on now, haven't you heard of the human ingenuity? Just because someone doesn't have a sophisticated technology as you've said doesn't mean that they're going to stop progressing, trust in the craftiness and clever nature of these poor farmers because even if you don't believe them, they're going to deliver what they're promising to you and also even if not all countries, foreign aid or foreign cooperation would probably be a thing in the future of farming so cheer up and be an optimist about all of this.

To be honest, become farmer not promising with much profitable earn and less youth generation want to make farmer as their job, In my country, Indonesia, being a farmer is quite difficult and difficult, the price of fertilizer is very expensive and the price of agricultural products is very cheap, you need to balance your expenses and the income you get as a farmer. There are still a lot of land left where I live but the difficulty with expensive agricultural products and still using traditional systems is that it is very difficult to get big profits if you focus on the field

Not all countries have adopted sophisticated technology in the agricultural sector, in my country all still use traditional methods from the planting process to harvest so that farmers get little profit compared to the expenses they have to incur.

I personally like the idea of vertical farming to be honest as it does not need a lot of space. In urban areas since they have this narrow spaces we can see most of 'em using this kind of technique to cultivate fruit bearing and green leafy vegetables. I can see massive adoption using this technique during pandemic. But here in the province we are not into this kind of farming because we have spacious agricultural land. The only problem nowadays is that the number of farmers are declining due to fact that farmers are getting old and younger generations lose interest on it, in addition, this pose a threat to the economy and food sufficiency in the future.

For me, the future of farming would be one where crops are genetically modified to give out more high yield per square inch of land to meet with the ever increasing demand for food, and I do believe that we will also grow in terms of how we farm, right now we're already experimenting with vertical farming which is a really sustainable way of farming and utilization of farm lands. If things go the right way, I think that farming will be a key thing for our survival, after all, if we don't improve on it, we're going to be experiencing famines and countless deaths all over the world.

agriculture is not only a problem of increasingly narrow land and difficult to open agricultural land. but people who want to work on it are also getting less and less. because the younger generation prefers to work in offices, companies or factories rather than having to farm. because the mindset that has been formed is that farming is a less prestigious job with no prestige. but because the population is increasing and continues to grow if rarely people farm the supply of food will be less and more expensive and will ultimately disrupt life in a country.

I agree that vertical farming holds promise, especially considering the future increase in population and potential reduction in available land for traditional farming. However, I have some concerns about the cost involved in setting up and running vertical farms, as well as the variety of crops that can be successfully grown in this way. For vertical farming to become a truly viable alternative, I believe it needs to be more cost-accessible and support a wider range of crops.

all forms of things related to agriculture should be facilitated by governments in all countries, the reason is simply because agriculture will continue to be a commodity that people need.

In Indonesia, for example, what often hinders agriculture here is the high price of fertilizer and low selling prices, so agriculture here is not developing well, instead it just seems stagnant. If there are people who have the best solutions regarding agriculture, they should be appreciated because no matter how small the idea they find, it will definitely be very useful for agriculture in the future.

I also quite agree if you say that farming is not just a skill, because there are many people who have lived on the results of farming all this time and previously too. So the agricultural sector must continue to be given special attention so that citizens do not experience food shortages and lack of sources of staple foods and other complementary foods such as vegetables. However, because now there are tools to make agriculture easier for farmers and breeders to manage, I think it is quite natural to apply technology to it so that the agricultural and livestock sectors can continue to run more advanced.

Everyone should be very aware of this because in all countries the agricultural sector is a sector that produces a large amount of food sources, so agricultural modernization must be implemented as a whole so that traditional farmers can develop more in running agriculture and it is easier to manage it. Apart from that, with the agricultural sector still alive, it can also move other sectors such as cooperatives, pesticide suppliers, and others as well as in people's lives.

Farming is not just a skill,farming us the future,the future of many,the future of nations and the future to all.There's need to improve and urbanize the farming sectors because the world wholly depends on it.
 It can be by  Embracing new and emerging technologies that can help grow stronger crops, raise healthier animals without any interference.
 If not for farming,how does the world intend to feed,despite finance,economy and governmental policies,they need agriculture to surface in more and thats because it has a role to play greatly for us.agricultural machine manufacturers, cooperatives, pesticide suppliers, and public and private actors such as digital and agricultural ministries must be facilitated for a easy running and functioning to farming modernization.

All over the world urbanization has been given special importance due to which agricultural land is reducing. Although there is no shortage of food yet, if land reduce continues, there will be a huge shortage of agricultural land in the next few years and agricultural production will also decrease. Consequence of this, the people of the world are likely to face a major disaster. If we look at the war between Russia and Ukraine, the agricultural production has been disrupted due to the war in Ukraine and the world has experienced a massive shortage of those agricultural products, which has led to an increase in the prices of the products, while the crisis has become difficult to resolve.

A study found that the world has lost one third of its arable land in the last 40 years. This continuum continues for human settlement, road construction and other infrastructure works. Most of the arable land will surely be lost in the next 40 years. Because research shows that by 2050 the world's population will rise to 9.7 billion, at which time nearly 70 percent of people will start living in cities, forcing cities to expand and reduce the amount of arable land there. As a result, various researches are being conducted on how to survive during that time. In this situation vertical farming system can play an important role.

This type of cultivation is easy to cultivate in any small or large area. More crops can be produced in less space which makes this method more attractive for everyone.

This method has several advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages

1. High yield possible in small space.
2. Maximum utilization of land can be ensured.
3. The amount of cultivated area also increases.
4. Reduces transportation costs.
5. Some kind of crop can be cultivated all session of the year.
6. Oxygen supply at home is adequate.

Disadvantages

1. Domestication is done due to which infrastructure cost is high.
2. The use of technology is high due to which electricity consumption also increases.
3. In a big firm there is definitely need for more workers.
4. It is not possible to provide natural open environment in houses so artificial things have to be adopted for pollination

This vertical farming method will become more popular when arable land decreases.

It also depends on the wishes of each person when creating agricultural land with whatever model and method, because if the agricultural produce is only for his own consumption, I don't think there is a need for such a large area of land. But if someone wants quite a large amount of agricultural produce, most of it is for resale. So placement is indeed more feasible in rural areas because in villages it is usually easier to find land with a large enough size than in urban areas.

Although I'm not very knowledgeable about the availability of land on other continents, but I think that there is a lot of land in Africa, but the reality is that many of these nations are not prepared to use their land, particularly for agriculture. Despite the fact that almost all African nations have lush terrain suitable for agriculture, the younger generation is not prepared to make agricultural investments. Although I think the population is growing, I also think there is still land accessible for cultivation. But because metropolitan areas are where people are growing, all this arable land is not available there. Farmers can continue to move backwards for farming as long as there is a growing population and people are using the nearby land that is available for structures.

I think the results you get from vertical farming really depend on how much land you have, but if you are in an urban area it will be very difficult to find large land because in urban areas there are lots of buildings, you are right, in rural areas it is always the right choice to develop in the agricultural sector because they still have large areas of land that can be used for farming.

Vertical farming can help supply food when crops fail in villages around it. Overall, society is very dependent on agricultural products, food needs will not be sufficient if you rely on results from vertical farming because the results are very limited. The rural environment has always been a paradise for farmers, its vast land can be used to produce food needs in large quantities.
Most developing countries have to choose import options from other countries to meet their food needs. The government's role in making policies in determining purchasing prices for food needs will really help improve the farmer's economy. The more food needs that are exported, the greater the demand for agricultural products which will increase the farmer's economy.

Currently, the amount of agricultural land is decreasing drastically and it continues to increase while the world population is increasing. In such a situation steps must be taken to ensure food security otherwise there will be food shortages in the country which will lead to major disasters. Moreover, every city is dependent on the agricultural land of the village, if they have trouble supplying the city one day, there will be a shortage of food in the city. So to get rid of such uncertainty, vertical farming method is definitely needed. Food shortages can be met by increasing yields through proper utilization of whole land in less space. At present, this method is gaining a lot of interest in agriculture and it will play an effective role in the future as well.
