This just made me think about how regulated marijuana is influencing farm innovation. Like a farm. So it has a utility for that

I think this is hilarious but for all the liberals we should create phage therapy because it’s like whole foodsy. Instead of antibiotics because all the liberal anti antibiotic people I guess they’d be probiotic! all the people that make the fast food places say they cause cancer and reproductive harm, from my knowledge you don’t get trisomy 21 from acrylamides. I don’t know why that’s there It scares people

I kind of question if it’s the Michelle Obama administration’s harsh dieting policies. If I go to McDonald’s I can give that to a pregnant woman. There’s no reason I couldn’t do that.

I mean it doesn’t even make any sense because all cooked food has acrylamides so am I supposed to be on a raw food diet if I’m a pregnant woman? I understand pregnant women should eat healthy but why doesn’t it state that, That’s my question?

This is very expensive every farmer can’t afford it

Every farm can’t, this is an alternative to traditional farms and will only be cost effective for specific produce. You aren’t gonna see corn or soy being grown this way for decades.

They still don’t get it right though. Although I see some potential to vertical growth, I still see these vegetables being alone and isolated. The American Indian traditionalist would teach you that vegetables grow better in groups. But it takes a lot of knowledge that only they can provide. For example, if you grow grapes with a certain type of tree, not only will they offer more nutrition, the grapes will be twice the size you see them in grocery stores. Not like tomatoes “alone”, but with carrots, or cabbage, or whatever it is they told me. They are the ones with this knowledge and they are dying off because noone will ask them to share this knowledge they have had for thousands upon thousands of years. Everyone continues to listen to new-age farmers that do not grow foods for their local communities, but for a global market so that they can be millionaires. And they plant their foods in the same manner that they plant their dead in cemetaries; in plots and in rows. Don’t take my word on it, ask someone from Red-Hat A.I.M.

Also, innovation does not provide “sustainable life”. The plants are alive, not the plastics holding it. Flora are “seed-bearing”, not the technology. All the inovation provides is a multi-tiered growing platform, which IS smart, but it is still the fruits and vegetables that are sustainable because they are “renewable”. They are part of the “circle” of life.

Not every farmer is a botonist unfortunately.
