Will vertical farming kill off farms in rural areas?

Unless they can create cost-barriers to entry via need for materials or expensive technologies. Which I don't think has happened yet, although certainly doing it the old fashioned way is a lot cheaper and more accessible for someone starting out, even presently.

>Will vertical farming kill off farms in rural areas?
No, because even if vertical farms manage to outperform conventional ones, the cost of construction and maintenance will be lower in rural areas.

Same reason why auto plants now are in podunk rural counties in the south and almost extinct around Detroit.

take your schizo meds

No, vertical or just indoor farms demand higher maintainance.
Only reason to grow indoor instead of outdoor is climate and/or expense of rent/land is high.

>Will vertical farming kill off farms in rural areas?
Most farms have been bought out by food giants. The family farm is almost not a thing anymore.

For leafy greens and some fruits yes. But the things grown the most are potatoes, wheat, corn, sugar beets, and soi and all but corn and soi would be inefficient to grow using vertical farming.

>Will vertical farming kill off farms in rural areas?
No, but it seems like a solid option for independent farming in the future. Once the trade deal with China gets nuked, there’s going to be a surplus of unused shipping containers. Kimbal Musk is thinking ahead, I genuinely think shipping container vertical farming could be a big thing in the near future.

That example isnt even relevant.

Are you retarded?

All of our land is owned and farmed by big corporations owned by China so I don’t give a fuck one way or the other. Most small farmers have sold their land, killed themselves, or both.

This, I love how people on Zig Forums think are farms are control by right wing voters, when most 80% of farm int he US are control by big corporations and the Chinese. Most family farms have gone under.

vertical growing is excellent for herbs and leaf vegetables.
That is about it

Why? Even with vertical farming, 100 times the area still leads to roughly 100 times the produce. Only difference is if you build it near a city the land costs way more

this is how farms grow stuff. or at least it is here for growing water intensive stuff (that is what the big sheds are for)
you wont be growing corn, wheat or rye like that in any meaningful amount though.

>live report from the Agricultural Department of Chaz
Shouldn't you faggots be shooting at one an other?

Here's the data straight from the FAO. To replace just 7 major crops you would need to build and power 332,440 square miles of indoor farms. Also, you would be competing with farmers that get the energy to grow their crops directly from the sun. Modern ag is FUCKED and unsustainable and nobody is talking about it. "Eat the bugs goy" is a meme but it is slowly becoming a reality as we are mining the earth for food like retards. We have collectively backed ourselves into a corner with "conventional" agriculture and its modest increase in yields in exchange for the depletion and degradation of humanity's most valuable resource; arable land and rich soil.

You can stack shipping containers vertically to reduce cost drastically, shipping containers were literally designed to be stacked.

The jew fears the indoor vertical farmer

"Smithfield Foods was founded in Virginia in 1936, and its pork products are ubiquitous in U.S. supermarkets, but the company was actually bought by WH Group, formerly known as Shuanghui International, for $4.7 billion in 2013.

Smithfield became a subsidiary of the publicly traded Chinese corporation after the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) said the acquisition would not endanger national security."

Our largest meat processor and producer was sold to China because they said it would not endanger national security. If I lived near one of these farms I probably would have blown it up by now.

Nice - Are they mulberries?

It will just move the government to start taxing us on the cubic feet our properties occupy instead of the surface area.

> that's not fair farmer goy - you can't cheat my tax laws by farming vertically!

Vertical farming as well as tactically using animals/fish/bugs to create a self-sustaining ecosystem that you manage and sell the products that come from it is the ultimate kino for living a peaceful and happy life in rural america

No. What would you do with all the land? Can't leave it to nature, if so it would mean a lot of bugs, wild animals, floods etc.

that's fine with me - i'm sick of having to look at all the disgusting fat bodies that are allowed to breathe the same air as healthy people.

Check out theDutch they already did it

No. I work in construction, and these things always get removed from the design, because they are way to expensive. You get these young architects who thing they are going to save the world with their great new ideas, and everyone laughs them out of the room. Remember, at the end of the day, investors only build things that will make them money.
