How A Tsunami Changed The Future Of Food
Subscribe! https://www.youtube.com/user/seekernetwork?sub_confirmation=1 In 2011 a Tsunami hit the northeast coast of Japan and devastated the country. It caused a massive nationwide food shortage and the shutdown of a Sony Semiconductor factory, among many other tragedies. The closing of the factory and the food shortage don't necessarily seem connected, but they are. Today on Seeker, meet one man who combined these two realities into an inspiring solution that could revolutionize the entire agricultural industry by taking farming indoors. ---------------------------- Check out more Seeker!

Seeker Network, Seeker Daily, DNews, DNews Plus; great business idea to stack up more subscribers(as one person could mean multiple subs in multiple channels) and advertising on each other channel meaning more in revenue.
Seriously a great idea. -
10 billion people...lack of food...how about stop giving birth to so many children? How many families struggle to pay rent and buy food, buy keep on having more kids? Simple stupidity!
-
what I'd like to see is the human resilliance in the face of stupidity. "10 billion people.. in the next 50 years". ADOPT for christsakes, have less kids. we're not building a flippin army. are we ants or humans?

i feel like vegans are going to come in and say. "hey thats not natural stop fucking our plants and they needs all natural sun light. dont eat plants, they have feels too." this will make them realize that eating plants is not natural so then they will say. "hey come eat our natural sun baked sand."

Why not greenhouse hydroponic lettuce with supplemental led lighting?
-
It's nice to see pretty people presenting interesting events, facts, news, compared to regular crap displayed on regular TV. Thank you.
-
Just grow weed instead duh
-
next step: vertical farming of animals =P btw how are they dealing with the degradation of the soil?:/
-
just grow weed and we'll just eat junk food all day we dont need lettuce
-
The music fit really well.

I just tried Hydroponic grown lettuce... IT WAS AMAZING
Really, it was the best lettuce I ever had!
from texture to flavor, I will never eat insect toilet food again from now on is hydroponic food all the way. -
Weed been did this.

Sci Fi coming true.
The rich will live in domed cities, while the poor choke on poisoned air and water. -
If the food grown indoors is more expensive... what's the benefits again? Its better more space, water efficient, etc etc. But its more expensive? -- what a huge hole in the narrative for indoor farming right there.
-
this is awesome
-
Looks promising. I wonder if i could do something similar (miniature version) in my apartment. Would be nice to eat fresh fruit and summer vegetables in the winter =)
-
yes but which plants have more nutrition? The ones that are getting their energy from the sun or from the LEDs
-
check out colorado weed farms...there is nothing new here.

I've grown lettuce hydroponically, and it's amazing how fast they grow! You can get a fully grown lettuce in 2 to 3 weeks like clockwork.

Wow. Those lights are so aesthetically pleasing.
