I have come to observe that the influence of crude has taken over agriculture and this has made more than enough farmers to divert from their farm works to crude side but still there are little farmers that are still doing agriculture farms.

Well there are two major types of agriculture which included the subsistence and commercial agriculture and most people in Nigeria, practice subsistence agriculture and all they do is produce food for their personal consumption and maybe sell off the remains to avoid spoils and if you'll agree with me that the major reason why most people dive into crude is simply because they think is more profitable and I wouldn't blame them for that.

And again, agriculture farms works are not the type of work that one can do without investing big or little money to it, although it depends on the amount or numbers of farm land the farmer want to start with and this days the youths are not even trying to make an attempt to do farm works but only few are into it.

I think agriculture works on the principle of garbage in, garbage out and that's to say that, your level of profit depends on how much you input and invest in the process and I just want to let you know that the major joy of agriculture lies in commercial agriculture and this requires huge capital to start.

It's intriguing to observe how various ideas and techniques may come into play when considering farming's future. Vertical farming's ability to save space and use less resources cannot be overstated. It's about finding balance. Perhaps the future rests in a harmonic combination of traditional farming, vertical farming, and other innovative approaches.

If you live in an urban area, it is very suitable for farming which can save space and the resources needed are also too much. Maybe now this development is almost being implemented in several countries because there is population density so there is not much space left.

Now Hydroponic farming can become a new profitable hobby. I started growing hydroponically on the terrace of the house and many neighbors were interested. Let's grow hydroponics in a simple way, we will increase food security in our families.

Now, farming had been made easier than ever since the introduction of vertical agricultural farming system, one does not have to go to the rural areas again before hey can achieve a successful farm practices, right from the developed urban areas we can engage with the practice of farming in other for us to have enough food in abundance to eat and give others, this does not end there, there's improved agricultural farm practices in the urban regions through selective varieties of farm produce in a close environment under effici management.

I don’t know how best to say this but one thing i know is that, farming is farming and irrespective of the method used, the end product should be having food and I also agree with the fact that urbanization is actively growing and land space for agriculture is therefore getting minimized and as an agriculturist and a farmer, I do support the fact that vertical farming is one of the way out to achieving sustainable farming.

Away from all the op has talked about , I think there are still awhile lot of land yet to be developed in rural environments and I’ve always known that despite agriculture being one of the most popular and oldest profession, it is still undermined as everyone is already moving into digital and there are still a lot of lands for farming.

In some countries, agricultural land is still very large. Even in this world, there is still a lot of land touched by humans. In my country there are still lands that have not been touched by humans before. The trees there are so big. But this invites people who don't love the environment to carry out illegal logging. But actually the land that was previously illegally logged can be used as an agricultural area. But currently the main problem in agriculture is that very few people are interested in becoming farmers and cultivating the land. Even many young people today feel embarrassed when they are told to farm.

Expansion of settlements and reduction of agricultural land cannot be avoided. Because human population and industry continue to grow. But what is more worrying is that the number of farmers is also decreasing faster.

You are totally correct, like in Africa, Nigeria in particular, we have more than enough lands for agriculture but now I have come to observe that the influence of crude has taken over agriculture and this has made more than enough farmers to divert from their farm works to crude side but still there are little farmers that are still doing agriculture farms.

And again, agriculture farms works are not the type of work that one can do without investing big or little money to it, although it depends on the amount or numbers of farm land the farmer want to start with and this days the youths are not even trying to make an attempt to do farm works but only few are into it.

I agree with you that expansion of settlements and reduction of agricultural lands can't be avoided and also the fact that alot of youths don't want to get involved in agriculture but I think there are also several factors hindering youth adoption to agriculture and farming and one of them is capital, because for one to go into commercial farming, then one must be ready to invest some reasonable amount of money for he or she to achieve their goals else every farming they do might be petty farming and not really productive.

It can be a profitable hobby when you know what to do and as long as you've got enough space to do it. But as a hobby, it really is an enjoyable one when you don't have much space in real farming.

You've got your food to get through it and it saves you money. I've seen a neighborhood not far from my location that did it as a team and everyone is helping each other. It's hard to have that kind of neighborhood though.

there is an abundance of land to farm. there is no need to panic.

however city dwellers that have never even seen a field of wheat or a cow in person, only see other buildings. they are the worse people for panic. they worry that if one trade route(road/bridge) becomes unusable then they wont get food.

however the other game being played is the urban real estate developers, they do not want people exiting city centres to buy rural property. so they invent green cities and vertical farming to ease city dwellers mind that although they may live 30miles from the nearest field they want to tell their residents that food is only a neighbour/block away

many will argue there are not enough farmers/farms and countries become dependant on imports.. but that is another game
countries have international strategies where they need to import for political reason. so they subsidise local farmers not to grow crops but instead diversify the land to do other activities

if all farmable land was farmed there would be an abundance of food, causing food prices to crash, so the politicians want to make food be seen as a limited resource because low supply/high demand aids the political profits of world leaders international trade deals

If you live in an urban area, it is very suitable for farming which can save space and the resources needed are also too much. Maybe now this development is almost being implemented in several countries because there is population density so there is not much space left.

Now people who live in cities are starting to find it difficult to cultivate because there is not enough land, unless everyone wants to turn their yard into a place to grow crops, even though the size may not be that big. And you yourself can also see that the majority of houses in urban areas do not all have adequate yards for farming, so only a small number of people can use their yard area for farming in order to lighten the burden of their own living costs a little.

Maybe you are also really lucky because you have a house where you can use a terrace for hydroponic plants, but for those whose houses don't have a terrace or front yard, it will also be difficult to grow hydroponic plants. So the option is to look for land on the outskirts of the city to be able to do farming and this can only be done by people who have more free time or people who work at someone else's place for half a day. Meanwhile, those who work full time in a place and leave in the morning and return in the afternoon will not have time to take care of any plants for their living.

Different things will definitely happen when some farmers do their work in different ways in the agricultural sector, because what grows naturally will never be the same as plants that grow because they are fertilized by force. Likewise with the quality produced by plants that grow naturally, those that grow vertically or those that are forcibly fertilized, because those that grow naturally will always be better than anything that grows by force.

In terms of quality, what grows naturally is much better than what grows vertically or is fertilized by force, but low yields will not make farmers prosperous, so they have to think about their own welfare without compromising quality.
Indeed, the place to plant also influences the results produced, therefore not all areas are suitable for use as agricultural land.

Quote

In my country, the agricultural sector is still highly valued because it is a source of food that can be harvested every year. So it will continue to be well maintained and preserved by the respective owners so that it can continue to be used every year, especially if the agricultural land owners are still quite happy to enjoy the results of their own agriculture.

In almost all countries, the agricultural sector is of special concern because it is the main food ingredient for human survival, but not many countries are also able to improve the welfare of farmers so there are not many regulations or price standards that are set so that it benefits farmers, like in my country where where farmers are not very prosperous because fertilizer materials are expensive and the selling prices of their agricultural products tend to be low.

Amid the issue of the food crisis that hit the world, what you do is one of the right ideas to maintain small scale food security using the hydroponic method. At present the availability of agricultural land is increasingly narrow, causing resistance to the agricultural sector.

But on a broader scale, agriculture is experiencing a sharp decline. Not only the increasingly narrow land but climate change is also one of the impacts that cause chaos. The food crisis that occurs today is a very crucial issue that continues to be discussed. A number of world leaders are currently concentrating fully to make various efforts so that national food security remains safe.

So I strongly agree if the community has an idea and wants to do something to maintain food security even with a small scale for the fulfillment of his own family like what you have done.

I didn't read the article, I was just curious about the costs involved in building a vertical farm because I'm sure it's not as easy as doing it on land so the costs can be very high, and I see several people around me doing this but it's just a hobby and it costs money big enough.
But humans must always be open to technological developments including vertical farming, although so far I have seen it only limited to vegetable crops, not wheat or rice, which are the staple food of many people in the world.
However, actually land shortages only occur in urban areas, while rural areas are still available in abundance simply because of climate change which affects agricultural output, and I am quite sure that land farming will still dominate even for decades to come.

Even if it seems crazy, it's brilliant! People, the world is changing, and we must change with it. We have to be shrewd. Hydroponic agriculture? The future is here, I assure you. It is inventive, efficient, and space-saving. And by starting it on your terrace, you, my friend, are ahead of the game

Population density is increasing, space is decreasing... Math is actually quite easy. Hydroponic farming is one of the solutions we need. Growing plants is important, but it's also important for our economy, future, and food security. What about the curiosity of your neighbors? That is basic human behavior. People are inquisitive; they recognize worth and get intrigued

I have attended training on agriculture held by the government in my area, we were taught about the concept of hydroponic and aquaponic farming, I was very enthusiastic about undergoing the training, I have tried it myself with several small racks and the results are quite satisfying, in my opinion the concept of hydroponics and aquaponics is the future of agriculture, especially as the climate in our world is uncertain, land prices are increasing and there are many plant diseases that continue to emerge.

There are not many agricultural countries in the world, but the farmers are not prosperous because the selling price and price of fertilizer are set by the government. Indeed, the possibility of losses for entrepreneurs or business actors in the agricultural sector is very small, but this does not allow them to become prosperous.
Moreover, currently the price of fertilizer is increasing and the uncertain climate means that crop yields are no longer guaranteed due to global influences.
They do play an important role in the continuity of human life, almost all of us need farmers to produce vegetables for consumption, but I see the future of agriculture and its actors tending to be stable without any increase.

Yes, I agree with what you say, many young people don't want to become a farmer as a profession. To grow a vegetable or fruit, it takes a very long time, and for farming you also have to have sufficient land and water, besides that, there are also many pests that approach the plants we plant. Irrational fertilizer prices and selling prices when harvesting do not meet the criteria make the younger generation reluctant to take up this profession. Yes, the government should step in to improve the prices of farmers, with the government giving special treatment, I am sure that every country is capable of producing various basic commodities in its own country without having to import them from other countries. And more and more people will become farmers with this special treatment.

Big players are killing small players... and import is killing the small farmers, that's how it's been in Serbia for a long time.

It is a different story in my country. Terrorist are literally killing farmers. And forcing them to abandon their large acres of land. This results is yearly low agricultural output.

So I'm not sure where is the future of farming, but I have a feeling that what we are currently buying is not healthy, who knows where it all comes from and where it's grown...

Farmers are forced to grow crops in their backyards. And it can only feed a few hundred people compared to the thousands of people it can feed when they transport it all over the country. This is the story in my country. The future of farmer here depends on how much protection that farmers can receive. They are kidnapped, killed and have been forced to partially or completely abandon their occupation.

By your post history I see you are from Nigeria. Is that true? What you described is totally fucked up situation, many times I saw in the news how some "groups" invade vilages and towns, they kill people and kidnap kids... in 21st century!

This is my reality and it is totally fucked up. The results is that food prices have skyrocketed and we have come to accept it.

Deep sadness... there is no other way to describe how I feel when I read about things like this. I hope you are safe, as well as your family, and I wish this world was/is a safer place for all of us...

I see many countries developing teams to start small hydroponic setups initially doing a lot of trial and error to determine what type of system works best. This is probably one of the most in-depth discussions I've seen in the entire discourse on the future of agriculture and food production, it's truly astonishing on this scale.

This method of farming has been used for years. Traditional farming done right can rebuild the soil, etc. This is not the end game. Different modes of growth can coexist. I personally like both.

With the application of new method and technologies, everything becomes possible to farming and it's being better and more productive with such application.
I've heard of that method before and I just don't know how many have been testing and trial that for them to see if it's working best on their lands. But that's what should other countries or farmlands do to know if their land is suitable for this method.
Having this method will also give the thought of having a food security for those countries that are reliant to their farmlands.

Many people believe that farming is their future success. I live in a city which of course is very difficult to get land for farming, I use pots to grow some vegetables, chilies, and others, the more difficult the agricultural land, of course, makes the price of agricultural commodities more expensive so that a country that still has a lot of agricultural land will become a country that prosperous.

The reason for that is the rising demand for real estate and the increase in the prices of land all around the globe. Agriculture requires land, and those who own land that can be used for agriculture ask for a lot of money to sell the land to those willing to use it to harvest vegetables, wheat, rice, and all sorts of things that they can then sell and earn money from. So, just because the prices of land are increasing over time, only those with a lot of money can actually venture into the agricultural businesses.

Scientists, on the other hand, are working on technologies that can be used to harvest plants and vegetables in a way that would produce more products and consume less land, vertical farming is one method that is used to harvest plants in a way that requires less land space and can produce more vegetables than the size of the land available.
