Topic: The future of Farming. - page 9. (Read 1656 times)
Usually, the government supports farming because it was a helping tool to improve our economic system. There are many programs that support farmers in order to survive from the increasing materials needed and to keep farming. That is why I'd still see Farming will continue and be improved. In fact, in some countries, the government is very focused on this as it was considered a big asset knowing that people need supplies to live. Perhaps, we can't do magic in doing foods and so farming is necessary. In fact, we are all encouraged to do backyard farming and many individuals do and even make it a source of income.

OP, I feel you are only speaking of your country or some of the country you know, but in most countries, and partially in the country, there are a lot of lands on which the government is even looking for serious individuals to start a commercial farming system so they could receive some financial grants to help them get some farming tools and machines and fertilizers. In the most rural part of my country, even in my village, some households are still doing local farming, fishing, and hunting, so it's not in every country that land for cultivation is becoming an issue.
And for the fact that there is an alternative to farming, which is the vertical farming system, like you stated, I think it is very good for those countries that lack enough land to cultivate their crops. Another thing to consider is whether farm products that are grown in such a system are 99.9% safe for consumption. I think an aeroponic farming system is similar to the vertical farming system you talked about. I have studied some stuff about Aeroponic farming system, and the rate of food production with that farming system is very fast when compared to land cultivation.
I got a videos below to show what Aeroponic farm looks like.

Land is becoming lesser and not very available for agriculture as before, There is a lot of Urbanization going on and many land space are being built on to carter for the increasing number of persons. There will be lesser organic foods available for consumption as the worlds population increase and farming space reduces. Because of this, there now has to be an improvement in farming methods and I personally consider vertical Farming to be the future of organic food farming.
Land isn't becoming any lesser, if you travel you'll see lots of land just wasting without any civilization using it for farming. It's only the land developers that are making it look like land is becoming lesser because they want to sell you idea to buy lands before there's non to buy again but I don't think that'll even be possible. We have lands and if they finish we can get some more land by creating artificial land from the sea like island and continue farming.
I have heard of vertical farming and I know it doesn't involved soil, it looks artificial to me and I would not eat food gotten through that form of farming. It mightn't have any disadvantages at the moment but scientist will find something later because vertical farming don't use soil.
I have heard about a lot of scientific advances in agricultural development, and as far as I know, every day every country they have research institutions in this field such as the production of high yielding crops, or adapting to difficult environments, although it is understandable that sustainable and organic agriculture could become an important development trend. The use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture causes many problems for the environment and human health. The development of organic agriculture and different growing methods such as vertical farming, hydroponic farming will gradually become popular to minimize the negative impact on the environment and promote the health of crops. And as it is, the development of urban agriculture and technology in food production may also become an important trend in the future. With urban population growth and growing demand for fresh food, food production in cities can help reduce transportation and storage costs and promote the use of innovative technologies like growing plants in buildings and greenhouses.
Obviously this is the future, eventually with productivity in land reducing and humans finding more and more spots to settle themselves, vertical farming is the only solution and infact it's more profitable too considering rising land prices in few developing and developed nations. But yes we would need very high tech technology to actually make this a reality because most of the farmers are coming from a uneducated background so for them such a thing is actually difficult.
With artificial food or grasshopper crackers becoming more common, the number of farms may be limited in the future. Not everyone will be able to establish a farm, and it is likely that the farmer will be allowed to grow or breed whatever is listed on the permit.The farmers will only avoid to plant during it and maybe they will burn those grasshoppers and their nests to be able to prevent them next time. Farming isn't easy so yeah not all can do it but it's not a big deal. Not all can be grown on one farm but it can still be grown on the other so again, I see no problem with it.
What do you think about Vertical Farming, do you agree that it is the future of farming really?
The authors of this article are people who have not traveled the world. Did you wrote this article sitting at their desks with a coffee on their table while searching for materials on the internet relating to vertical farming. I will state categorically that there are more unused or vacant land for farming there are for those that have been occupied by humans. There is no need to fear as we are not running out of land for farming. The only fear that one should have arr the modified seedlings for growing crops which in some countries the government doesn't see it as a big issue and they allow farmers to use it causing a lot of health challenges. This is what we should be concerned about.
Maybe, but also maybe people will realize that farming is vital for human existence. Tho vertical farming need less land, it's significantly more resource demanding. It requires more tools and equipment, and it also requires much more energy to keep the adjustment of the weather. And we as far as I know we are currently in a stage of saving so many energy as we could, meaning vertical farming is not sustainable, at least for now.
Vertical housing foir the sheeple, and a return to efficient natural farming methods would be better. Getting rid of inefficient wind and solar farms, and replacing them with farmland would be another healthy option. Oil and coal increased the greening of the world. So called green policies are turning the world grey.
For developed countries, of course, agriculture is increasingly sophisticated and they have used vertical methods on organic crops because the results are more optimal and the way of working is increasingly varied, if agriculture cannot increase crop yields, of course this will be a problem every year for farmers, especially some who fail to harvest so they experience losses, so by using the vertical method we can be more consistent and the results will be more for us to get, So now all farmers must be able to find ways so that their crops will be better in the future.
The only future of farming is the Government, because no matter what method farmers are gonna use, if they lack the support from the government, farming would die eventually. Urbanization is the biggest problem that could eliminate the farming world, and most of all, our mother earth. Global warming and climate change could destroy us all if we're gonna plant buildings instead of trees.
Vertical farming though could only be use to vegetables, and other small fruits. I can't imagine vertical farming with rice and other fruit trees that grows a lot.

I have dwelled with this in someway but not through vertical farming but with the use of Hydroponics and there's an actual application of Hydroponics in vertical farming. It's like a tube that is vertical with holes and you could space with that.
I'm not sure why it's something with the future because I think it's not with the lack of land because of course, those who are already in the farming and agricultural business have already their space and could provide already. The problem is definitely the increase in population and some environmental problems that we can probably encounter. That's the issue and one thing to do is have more production of food, then the problem shows up.
Vertical farming is definitely one of the solutions for the increasing population.

i would be interested to have my own garden of cabbage or potatoes so i can survive even when the world inflation skyrockets.

It's not bad and it's actually desirable to grow your own fruits and vegetables, but unless you have a very large garden you will still depend at least partially on others. Also growing something of your own is not as easy as some think, because it takes a lot of time, knowledge, patience and luck.
In addition, if you want to grow in a natural way without all the poisons they use, it will be even more difficult for you considering all the diseases and pests that exist in addition to the fact that the climate has changed significantly and you have to count that at any moment you can lose everything if there is a storm with the addition of hail, or maybe a flash flood.
Of course, this does not mean that you should not try, because tomatoes grown without any chemicals will taste much better than any produced in an industrial way - noting that you also need quality seeds of old varieties that have not been modified in any way.
I have a great example in my country of the transition from the classical approach to the "new" approach. AgroGloryTime Company.
First of all, it is an ecologically clean region - the Transcarpathian region of Ukraine. They use ecological methods of cultivation. plus - they demonstrate very well the "intersection" of the agricultural sector and the cryptocurrency market: they attract investments in cryptocurrency since 2022, through a functional token scheme on which dividends are accrued. On July 1, there was a 6th round of quarterly dividend payments to holders of their AGTI investment token.
Plus, the owners are constantly exploring new technologies that can be applied to AgroGloryTime.
You can read it here https://agtiglobal.net/, it has all the information about the business

While I am all for better farming methods. The OP here has started his post off with some falsehoods to promote the idea.
Land hasn't become lesser. Its Just as available as it was. Urbanization isn't chewing up significant amount of farmland.
Some facts. Humanity is producing almost 400% more food while only using 33% of the same plot of land as we did 75 years ago.
Now, as I said I like good ideas. Do not lie to promote them or you Will get smashed in this day and age. Most people have had enough of the crap the media shoves at us. If by chance you are simply repeating someone else's lies while promoting this please do some more research about traditional farming and modern farming.
ty have a nice day

Ensures Consistent Crop Production
One of the biggest benefits of vertical arming lies in the fact that it is extremely reliable. That means, when you opt for vertical farming, you can be assured of getting consistent crop production throughout the year. This is further made possible because vertical farming doesn’t usually rely on the weather, allowing you to cultivate crops without having to get worked up about adverse weather conditions.
Uses Space Optimally
Reduces Usage of Water
One of the biggest perks of vertical farming lies in the fact that it follows a Hydroponic growing process whereby only 10% of the water is used. This mode of farming also uses fewer fertilizers and nutrients when compared to conventional methods. Since the water is completely clean even after usage, it can be duly reused thereby reducing the total cost and cutting down on waste.
Cuts Down on Transport Cost
You can always choose to grow crops in an area where your customer lives thereby reducing transportation costs, carbon dioxide emissions, and the constant need for refrigerating your produce. At the end of the day, this not only contributes to the freshness of your products but also makes them incredibly profitable.
Doesn’t Involve Chemicals or Pesticides
When you grow food on a vertical farm, you have the chance of completely cutting down on the need to invest in pesticides. That is because your farming is practiced in a controlled environment that prohibits the entry of pests.
Limits Occupational Hazards
With indoor farming in place, no farmer is exposed to the hazards associated with using heavy farming gear. They are also well-protected from a range of ailments like malaria, issues from harmful chemicals, and the likes of it.Since this mode of farming does not affect trees and animals around inland zones, it is also an excellent way to promote biodiversity.
Larger Produce
Probably the biggest benefit of vertical farming is the fact that it helps produce more crops in general. As we already know, this mode of farming enables cultivars to produce crops consistently in a small area. Interestingly, it also boosts the amount of produce.

Many people have a distorted view of farming and it has actually got way more efficient over the decades, allowing for much more crop to be made from the same amount of area. The amount of man hours required to sow and harvest crops had also reduced massively, because there have been huge advances in the mechanised technology used. The only unfortunate downside in the scenario is companies like John Deere are sometimes a bit greedy when it comes to this new tech, while it is revolutionary they prevent the actual farmers from doing things like simple repairs so they can charge extortionate extras.
Agriculture is not as big of a deal as it used to be. Countries that heavily rely on agriculture for their economies aren't rich, and we're making enough food anyway. The issue isn't the lack of food, it's the lack of proper distribution and access to food. Of course, optimization is still a good idea, as freeing up some land can be good for other purposes. From what I've seen, vertical farming seems like a legit idea that can help make farming more efficient. A challenge, however, is to find enough good energy sources, because otherwise the carbon footprint of vertical farming might become an issue.
Another good idea I've heard of is reducing meat production (better for health, better for the environment, and frees up some land and other resources).

The availability depends on which country you are from. Of course, if you're living in a country that has a little mass of land then for sure that the availability of the land for agriculture needs will be limited. But look at the big countries where owning acres of land isn't that hard at all because there's available for those who like it but with a price, and won't be flocked by people depending on the location as well.
Farmers should try the Bitcoin Diesel fuel saver. Start with your most inexpensive diesel engine you have and then go from there. Doesn't work on every engine due to computer controls but most of the older tractors should work fine.
I believe that you are from one of the countries of Southeast Asia or India or one of the densely populated countries in which agricultural land is scarce or difficult and those that exist will not be as fertile as last year.
I live in a country where the opposite is true. We have large areas, but there are no real investments that encourage people to cultivate, as the income from it is good, but there are other sectors that are less difficult and more profitable and whose return is less risky instead of agriculture, such as tourism.
The future of agriculture is in the good use of lands globally, when countries start investing in the lands of other countries.

Since everybody can not own a farm laend to make plantations it is very important for the government to help those existing farmers and encourage them to create more lands for farming because as the population is growing very fast, there is need for food to be available for people to buy and eat so that there will not be in availability of food for the populatiom to feed on. We can see that one of the things that are causing the high cost of food is because there is not surplus of food in the market to reduce the hike in price of food in the market.
To add to your solution, I propose that there's a way where the government encourages urban gardening, I've seen a few people that have done this and document it through YouTube and I think that it's safe to assume that it's a good solution since urban farming helps in the utilization of spaces that's not mostly used or not treaded in an urban setting. Regarding food surplus, it's in the best interest in my opinion to create a better logistics if not improve the current logistics, most of the time, the logistics is what's causing the delays and wastage in food. Conversion of some lands as farms in highly urbanized cities is the dream though when it comes to the future of farming, will literally solve logistics, food prices, and food waste altogether.
