Vertical farming — and robots — could help us grow more delicious and affordable fruit #TEDTalks
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…

Why Humans Should Merge with AI | D. Scott Phoenix | TED
Deep tech entrepreneur D. Scott Phoenix spent years building AI — now, he believes we’re on the cusp of a profound merger between humans and machines. Reframing the AI debate through the lens of evolutionary biology, he shifts the question from whether we should fear or embrace AI to whether we understand what’s at stake…

High tech, low quality. …Vertical farming is quite an old and well known concept. Those strawberries, however, will taste of NOTHING, and be mostly very watery.

日本のイチゴと他の国のイチゴを食べ比べてみたことはありますか?
とんでもなく甘いですよ、日本のイチゴ。何故か大きいほど甘いように感じます。
特に、「あまおう」という品種は格別です(まだまだ値段は高いので、安く美味しいというコンセプトには添えていませんが)。
@RuudJH
April 10, 2025 at 3:57 am
@原田-o9u perhaps, but that will be the exception. Most hydro-cultured grown foods lack taste regardless, compared to those that grow in soil. Compare it to bio-industrial kept animals: growing fast for economical reasons.

@@RuudJH Yes, that is certainly true.
But that doesn’t mean that hydroponically grown strawberries aren’t sweet.
(The “Amaou” strawberries mentioned above are sold in kits that allow you to grow them hydroponically at home, and they apparently grow sweet if you follow the instructions.)

I’d be interested if the taste isn’t lacking. Because that is usually the issue with foods grown with hydroponics.

Why does verticality remove flavour?

Agreed. Even just from water conservation its worth doing this.

Depleted soil nutrients from over farming is a real issue that’s becoming more and more expensive to rectify.
Hydroponics ain’t much better as they’ll need the same nutrient supplements.
Aquaponics on the other hand, would be a more affordable system if setup correctly.

I’m sure environmentally this is better, given the reduced area of land it needs, and being fully indoors means pesticides wouldn’t be needed.
But as for cheaper… I’ll believe it when I see it.
Just because it makes the growing and harvesting cheaper, doesn’t automatically mean they’ll price them lower. Look at the vegan meat alternatives and how pricy many of them are for what are essentially mushroom, soy, pea-protein and wheat

They’ve been making dehydrated TVP for years in massive bags, you can rehydrate it with stock and msg, flavour it however you want because its basically a big chewy sponge. If you want vegan meat alternatives, look in Asian supermarkets. Most of India is vegetarian and China uses a huge amount of soy protein products and have been for millenia.

What about starting to respect nature instead of massively abuse of it? I don’t believe that a sign of advanced society is to eat strawberries all year around just because one has the economic power to do so (money). Is key to learn how ecosystems works and if they grow only under certain conditions there is a reason
