The future of Farming.

[JoyMarsha]

You know, if I had a lot of money, I would buy a farm lot as an investment because we live on land, and it is used to grow fruits and vegetables. Having an investment farm or livestock is different than real estate that only builds houses.
It's different because you have a farm of vegetables, fruits, because it helps a large part of our health and this is the truth, that's why there are businessmen because they just want to make money and don't care if it affects the nature, which is not nice

We are all free to use the land we were given however we see fit. It is up to each individual to decide whether to use their land for investment in real estate or for agricultural purposes. Additionally, they enjoy doing things that will help them and that they have ideas for.

A person doesn't get into the real estate business because they don't care about the environment; rather, they do it to make money. In the same way, you want to invest in farmland by purchasing land plots. It all comes down to making decisions that will benefit you and your knowledge.

Necessity is the mother of invention. We are still not at that point where we are out of farming lands. But the situation is quite tough now NGL. Vertical farming could be a solution to this. People will come up with more ideas to maximize farming. To be honest, farming has a great impact on the economy. If your country can produce enough food, then life will be much easy.

Food is the most essential substance in our life. We consume food every day no matter what. So focusing on that will be the best for everyone. But in order to make life easy, we do need other industries too. So I am not against urbanization if people can find more ways to maximize farming. Vertical farming is one step towards that. But in the future, we may see more ways to do it more efficiently.

[lixer]

Real estate is taking the order of the day and been used for commercialization and business purposes but still, there is enough land enough to produce food for all in a country if there is enough equipment and machinery also needed for employee and employer labor

There is obviously enough land for agriculture in every country at present, but these problems of extreme urbanization will occur in the future when the lands that are now used for farming will be used for buildings or factories where people will either live or have their work set up, we have been seeing this happening with forests already where forests are cut down only so that there can be more urbanization and industrialization which is dangerous for the long run.

Humans can't survive without nature but humans are cutting down nature themselves that too in an alarming rate. So, just like the ozone layer is in danger of getting destroyed, we will have farming problems at very extreme levels in the future due to the increasing population of the world.

[Vishnu.Reang]

In India last 70 or 80 years many achievements are there, we have build businesses, we have build industries, our scientists are going to mars but of all these things. The most significant achievements for us is that our poor farmer without any infrastructure without technology just with traditional knowledge, he's been feeding over a billion people, this is not a small thing. To help them government is taking initiative introducing them with new technology like drone, tractors etc, which can be give them boost on farming.

From the point of view of agricultural technology, it is highly recommended to familiarize yourself with this sector of the economy of Israel and the Netherlands ! Although the Netherlands has enough land, but they have long been developing technologies that can multiply the yield from 1 square meter of land. In Israel the land is not good at all, I mean fertile land. And Israel not only feeds its population with its products, but also exports! And this is all thanks to high technology in the field of agriculture.
Now even in Ukraine, where there is a lot of fertile land, many agricultural companies are beginning to study and adopt the experience of the Netherlands and Israel, in order to maximize the effective use of available land resources!

Maximizing the farming/ agricultural section will always help a nation no matter what. Agricultural development will also help the economy and that's the reason why everyone should focus on this. A development like this needs to be done. Climate changes is a thing that is growing rapidly and will effect the whole world. So in order to tackle that, we need to develop a technology that will help us to grow food in any given condition.

As I said, in the future we will see more advanced technology and developments. It will become a necessity in couple of years I guess. It is a big issue and it needs to be solved.

Food is probably overlooked as a resource but it is one of the most important, how many empires and societies have fallen through history as the leaders at the top were unable to secure enough food for their people? Now this fear seems to have disappeared in many countries due to the improvements on the fertilizers, seeds and machinery used for agriculture, but with fresh water becoming more scarce and the reduction of arable land then we need to find ways to feed the growing population around the world.

You're right. Indeed, we march relentlessly toward urban jungles where wheat and grain fields are fossils. You've pinpointed our looming crisis: our unquenchable appetite for development destroying our lifelines. This ferocious desire recalls Sisyphus, who was doomed to roll a boulder up a hill and watch it roll back down forever. Don't be pessimistic. Isn't knowledge power? Understanding these challenges helps solve them. Instead than painting an apocalyptic future, let's use this information to innovate. What's next after vertical farming and lab-grown meat?

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.

In vertical farming, Plants are grown in stacked layers under controlled conditions like green house farming.
In vertical farming,

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.

What do you think about Vertical Farming, do you agree that it is the future of farming really?

Right now here in country there are still a lot of land that is enough for agriculture, but there are people choose to do the vertical farming. Vertical farming is a good idea. The problem with agricultural land farming is the capital that will be used by the farmers to be able to grow their crops. Since I am living in a not so progressive country, the farmers need enough funds to be able to purchase crops and grow them. Other farmers are waiting for the aide of government to help them in their farming. As i heard there are government projects that gives the farmers seeds and seedlings to be able to start farming. The benefit of vertical farming is can help produce more crops and also it can save us from using any pesticides because the surroundings is under our control. So i agree in the future of Vertical farming.

sad to say this is not the case to most of the country. here in ours, i’ll hide it in name of Philippines, it’s the other way around. Philippines is very rich of its agriculture, lands are never been a problem It’s how they maximize it and how the government support the local farmers. Sad to say, the government do import goods from China instead of developing farmlands. Local farmers are being left behind and foods are increasingly expensive. The coubtry which is supposed to be producers turned out to be the biggest consumer.

The Editors of this article or should I say whoever edited the article must have narrowed his or her findings Vertical farming is a great idea no arguments, but he should travel round the world to see for themselves. There so much unused arable lands for farming.
With vertical farming, your crops can be monitored closely. Those who praticalize it have mostly found it interesting because it does help them in managing the limited space they have or to grow a particular rare seed.

Since it has to do with Urbanization, there'll be a lot of crops grown in urban areas and they won't stress so much to with transportation to get this moved around the urbanized environment. It's just that you as a farmer or group of farmers would find it difficult to meet up with the higher demads as the world population increases.  

In Africa, Rwanda have been a great nation when it comes to farming, same goes to Zimbabweans, I've seen cool video clips of green house farming to prevent fumes in the air affecting the crops. They're very good when it comes to tea and coffee productions.

It'll also be advice we take note of what we eat, lately, Bill Gates, laboratory products have been found toxic to the human body by the United States Department of Agriculture. I hope we be save as they also try to reduce the world population from what we eat.

India has enormous contributions in global science and technology, they are sending Chandrayaan-3 which is there latest space mission. Despite all these achievements our dependency on food grown out of land will not lessen rather it will increase. India has population of 1.5 billion and most of them are vegetarian so they continuously need supply of land grown vegetables. With increase in urbanisation, land available for cultivation is getting smaller and smaller and this is something all countries should think and address.

[Mario Yamasaki]

Now more and more agricultural land is changing its function into residential, industrial or other functions, in cities it is increasingly difficult to see agriculture so that the impact on agricultural commodity prices is getting more expensive, now there are more and more positive ideas for farming on narrow land, for example using the roofs of houses to grow productive vegetables or fruit .

[RockBell]

But in the future, we may see more ways to do it more efficiently.

looking at the fact that we all work is actually for one primary reason which is to feed, without food the body becomes sick, and like you said I don't think at this stage we have difficulty with lands for farming, we have very few people going into agriculture these days, the food supply is gradually dropping, and another thing have noticed with the food supply is that too many improved products that have serious health effects so not even everyone can afford the improved seeds and also I think vertical farming its also a good call but there are limitation to even when it comes to setting it up, and I think we should start encouraging people to start farming farming and to use less improved seeds and to go for more natural thing at least the quantity of the farm does not matter even if its small.

[rachael9385]

Food is more important in our society today, if their is no farm land their is also no local markets or international markets too, if you should ask me anything about farming I will tell you that farming is the most important thing in life but without farming we can't survive.
Some countries don't have enough land, country like Dubai, they don't have enough land thats why they fill-up some part of their rivers so they can build furnitured houses on it but when you come to 9ja (Nigeria) we have plenty of lands that are been waisted most companies from abroad come to Nigeria because we have enough lands, only Lagos State don't have much land because the population overe there is much and they can't farm but if you go to the North Nigeria they have farm land that only one person have about 200 plots of lands and over their lands are not cost you can own a plot of land with $700.
Without farming we can't survive.

What do you think about Vertical Farming, do you agree that it is the future of farming really?

As far as I know, vertical/glass farming is prioritized and carried out by many companies that manage vertical/glass farming, this cannot be done in all countries, depending on certain regions and places, not all of them and cannot be determined as future farmers.

The economic factor of vertical/glass agriculture, too expensive, can't be done by ordinary farmers, there must be a company that supports the economy to develop it, starting from glass facilities, water, seeds, fertilizers and so on, costs are more expensive, usually vertical/glass farming products are supplied to malls or supermarkets selling prices are also higher than natural farming products.

There are several vertical/glass farming companies, which went bankrupt and were unable to finance so that the land was abandoned due to unstable market demand, people prefer traditional farming products, for that I am not sure that vertical/glass farming can be made into farmers' land in the future, the processing costs are more expensive than the market selling price.

Many agricultural commodities such as corn, soybeans, meat, eggs and many more must be imported from other countries, when 15 or 20 years ago my country exports the commodity, and of course this is a sad fact, this is because of the many agricultural land that changes functions become an apartment building, park, tourist attractions and so on. Naturally, if the price of agricultural materials is more expensive.

[Bitcoin_people]

Currently, as the world's population increases, the amount of land used for agriculture is decreasing. And due to the decrease in the amount of land, food shortages are occurring in different countries. At the ever increasing rate of population, in a few years the land suitable for agricultural purposes will disappear completely. But nowadays there are very few open spaces available in urban areas due to overcrowding everywhere land is shrinking which makes farming very difficult. But looking at one aspect, it is understood that in rural areas, for agricultural work and cultivation, farmers grow crops on a lot of land. In urban areas no land can be found for cultivation but in rural areas there is enough land for cultivation. And if we think about the population of the world at present, maybe after a few hundred years, there will not be any land for cultivation, all places will be populated.

Without food human beings can't live for long so yes farming is very important because it is farming that brings about the food that we consume. Without agriculture we won't have gotten the other byproduct that's use for other products. Some countries have lands more than others but aren't using it effectively like Nigeria while others country are looking for new and innovative ways to farm and that's why we have vertical farming in Asian countries.

Countries that take farming very serious and invest into tools that can be used to achieve commercial farming will benefit in the future as they won't have food scarcity and earn revenue from exportation of food. Some countries are losing focused in farming which is bad.

Naturally, if the price of agricultural materials is more expensive.

The government needs to make farming an encouraged business to do for the people and they must also focus on this agricultural aspect because that's the sole dependent of economy markets and human sustainability, farming must be done both on the rural and urban settings, a country must bot be too dependent on importation of food items from other countries when they are meant to encourage their young adults to engage in farming by making adequate provisions for their start up needs to encourage them venture into farming, this will help the country eradicate poverty, hunger and disease, other countries may also depends on their productions.
