Shigeharu Shimamura teams up with GE to grow lettuce indoors faster, cleaner and cheaper
A 2300 square meter former semiconductor plant has become the world's largest indoor vegetable farm, thanks to Shigeru Shimamura and special LED lights from General Electric. The farm produces 10,000 heads of lettuce per day all while using less than 1% of the water needed for a normal farm, and none of the weather or pest related risks that come with growing outdoors. Produce waste is also slashed from 50 to just 10% as well. Shimamura's indoor farming company, Mirai, has partnered with GE and is looking to set up similar operations in locations around the world, starting with Hong Kong and Russia. ------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome to TomoNews, where we animate the most entertaining news on the internets.

And in North Carolina (and all over the country) we're playing games with legalizing industrial hemp. Japan's going to kick our asses in agriculture like they did for a while in automotives and electronics if we do not wake up.

"Peter Friedman1 week ago"
"Anyone know which specific things they are doing that other major indoor vegetable cultivation operations definitely aren't? Are they really quite as far ahead of others as they seem to be saying they are?"
Peter, what they're doing that we are not doing is WORKING COOPERATIVELY with each other... and PRIORITIZING society's needs instead of corporate profiteering. It's really very simple: The Japanese do NOT subscribe to our insanely greedy CAPITALISM as evidenced by the fact that there is a RESTRICTION on the ratio between a CEO's yearly income compared with that of the common worker! "We" would never consider such a thing... although it DOES exist in many other countries to a lesser extent than in Japan. ;-) -
Something like this seems like a no-brainer to me. Especially in urban environments. Hopefully it takes off worldwide.

Yeah! Science bitch!

Huh. Good stuff.

Why you guys stop uploading new videos

Necessity being the mother of all invention I guess the Japanese deserve some kudos here. This is though the obvious progression of human life on Earth. Lets go underground with it, and use the oxygenated air to air condition subterranean cities, then channel the CO2 rich air back to the plants. All this really is is an example of people still being miles off the mark for paradise.

Did Tomo News suddenly abandon their largest channel?!? There is a new TomoUSA channel that they're updating now and the new videos here have stopped.
A message to Tomo: If you're abandoning this channel and replacing it with new ones, you should definitely make a video stating this or else you'll lose a lot of potential subscribers and traffic! -
As an ex-grower, I can confirm that shit
