The Sweet Future of Vertical Farming | Hiroki Koga | TED
Can strawberries grown inside a building taste sweeter than those grown in a field? Farming entrepreneur Hiroki Koga explores how his team is combining solar-powered vertical farms with AI, robotics and indoor bee colonies to grow delicious strawberries year-round — and how this practice, if widely adopted, could deliver a harvest of benefits for the…

Except for, cucumbers from vertical Farming causing diarrhia, the Natural ones doesnt. I am No expert for Farming or agriculture bit my digestive system seems to be picky….

I grow my strawberries in the fertile ground, using homemade compost, sun and spring water. With all the respect to vertical farming, there’s no match to flavor and consistence.

The shift from a Budweiser factory to a strawberry vertical farm is a fantastic example of how we can repurpose existing spaces for a sustainable future.

I love your passion, and I applaud your innovation. But…
A few decades ago not everyone could afford steak, or mince (hamburger) then we started to mass produce meat (chicken included). Now we are over-producing meat and a lot goes to waste because the choice of locations and sheer volume of product.
How do you plan to deal with the over-production, and under-consumed products when people get bored/sick off/need a change? Will you freeze them, or ship them to further away places? Will they become the next fight against Air pollution?
I understand mass production is almost needed to offset the cost of the AI and Robot assistance and while I love strawberries “seasonal” fruits and vegetables are important both for soil and humans.
Could we just take better care of our environments as to not have such severe weather that dashes crops.
I’m a wee homesteader, I have strawberry plants. And while I did have some success this year (combinations of being just transplanted this year, poor weather, bug infestation, farm location, likely some soil issues also) I’m hopeful that next year my crops will produce ridiculous amounts like my peas did this year.
I’d rather have a bug-bitten, soil-grown, sober bee-pollinated seasonal variety than the 100% environmentally controlled, 100% perfect variety.
But I completely understand your experiences with western fruit flavours🤮

Vertical farming could be competitive in seasonal fresh produce but not with calorie dense foods made of corn, wheat, rice, or soy nor animal feed.

$10 for a few strawberries? Insane. Vertical farming has already long been around here in the Netherlands. It is profitable.

I truly hope this is the future of fruit farming. It will also need to work in harmony with the labor force.

Vertical farming is one of the most inefficient and expensive ways to grow food, its been a proven failure for decades now, only ,ade popular by tech bros who have never worked in AG and know nothing about growing.
All that plastic and noone has even thought of the microplastics in EVERYTHING you grow. Stupid, short sighted idea thats going to cause massive issues. You want to grow vertically? Do it outside using methods used for thousands of years.

Think of all those empty malls – we could even include housing along side vertical farming.

I couldn’t help but think about Judge Dredd where they had the Mega Buildings but in these buildings they could have Vertical farms inside them so that people can shop in their own buildings FRESH FOOD….

Keep it up. Do it with more and more fruits and vegetables, teach more and more people to do it as well. We no longer want to be poisoned by chemicals. We’ve had enough of them. Our animals have also had more than enough chemicals to kill us all as well. If you can grow fresh food vertically, there will be more land for animals to eat fresh grass as well. The world will be a much healthier place. Thank you for this talk.

Just one question: Why are the solar power units on the grass and not on the roofs where they should be.
